As a mainlined open-source Linux distribution, OpenSTLinux Distribution is a key element of the STM32 embedded software solution for STM32 multimarket multicore microprocessors (MPU) embedding a single or dual Arm® Cortex®-A7 core. OpenSTLinux expansion packages (X-LINUX-xxx) can be applied on the top of the STM32 MPU OpenSTLinux distribution to enable the use of additional components.
- By massively investing in mainlining the OpenSTLinux Distribution, ST demonstrates its dedication to:
- Accelerating the development of systems that needs high processing power, graphical support combined with power-efficient real-time control, and high feature integration
- providing developers with an unprecedented level of support
- OpenSTLinux is Yocto and Buildroot compliant
- Enable Real-time Linux via OpenSTLinux Expansion package (X-LINUX-RT)
