STM32 MPU OpenSTLinux Distribution

Openstlinux distribution banner

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®-A 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)

Applications:

  • Industrial robots
  • Factory automation
  • Human machine interface HMI
  • Patient monitoring
  • Diagnostic equipment
  • Smart thermostat
  • Industrial gateway
  • Small appliances and kitchen aids
