Foundries.io in STMicroelectronics Ecosystem

Foundries.io’s Linux microPlatform^™ (LmP) is an extensible open-source software platform that supports STM32MPU’s Evaluation Boards and Discovery kits out-of-the-box.

Within minutes of creating a Factory, developers can build and deploy their own unmodified LmP OS image through the Foundries.io secure cloud CI system. The platform is continually updated with the latest upstream software, allowing developers to benefit from new features, performance enhancements, and critical security patches.

When paired with the FoundriesFactory platform, LmP enables streamlined development, securable OTA update pipelines, and accelerates your time to market on STMicroelectronics hardware — helping you focus on your core product while we manage the foundational software stack.
