General information
STM32MP15X SOC are Dual-core Arm Cortex-A7 running up to 800 MHz and Cortex-M4 at 209 MHz
combined with a LCD interface, dedicated 3D graphics processing unit (GPU).
The system on modules are produced in:
•Commercial 0-70C temperature
•Extended (-EXT) -20+85C temperature with SOC working on 800Mhz
•Industrial (-IND) -45+85C temperature with SOC working on 50Mhz.

Software
We at Olimex support STMP15x-SOM with mainline Uboot and Linux Kernel.
With the presence of mainline Uboot and Linux Kernel any Linux distribution is possible to be build,
but we decided to pre-build only Debian 10 buster and Ubuntu 20.04 focal.
The pre-built images are hosted at:
http://images.olimex.com/release/stm32/
These images are extensively tested for all available modifications and all features/peripherals are
known to work on them. The testing is slow process and this is why probably the latest released
yesterday Linux Kernel is not in the images. You can surely build your own Linux image, but please
also make sure you do proper testing on your own builds. We will provide technical support and work
on reports for bugs only for our officially released images. If you build your own Linux image or
distribution and something stopped working you are on your own to debug and fix the problem.
We recommend the official images to be written to SD card with minimum 1 GB Class10 speed like:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Components/Storage/MICRO-SD-CLASS10/
To write the images we recommend balenaEtcher:
https://www.balena.io/etcher/
To build the mainline Uboot, Linux Kernel and the Linux images we use Buildroot script which is
available on GitHub:
https://github.com/OLIMEX/olimage

Power suppl
STMP15x-SOM requires +5V, 1A to operate.
Do not apply more than 5V as this would damage the STMP15x-SOM.
The power supply is provided on pin.1 of the LCD connector.
Power consumption is:
•around 0.2 A during boot
•around 0.4A when working at full speed
•around 1.0A when working at full speed and charge the LiPo battery

Hardware components
In GitHub software folder there are examples how to use the GPIOs, I2C, SPI (we add new library for
this as otherwise you couldn’t use the micro SD card as original Arduino library support just one SPI),
CAN, UART, SD-card, LCD3310.
SOC
STM32MP151 is Single core Cortex-A7 ARM running @ 50 Mhz with Cortex-M4 running @209Mhz
STM32MP153 is Dual core Cortex-A7 ARM running @ 50 Mhz with Cortex-M4 running @209Mhz
STM32MP157 is Dual core Cortex-A7 ARM running @ 50/800 Mhz with Cortex-M4 running
@209Mhz
Memor
STMP15x-SOM can have 25 or 512MB DDR3L memory, powered with 1.35V, with 1 bit data bus
width and running at 10 Mhz (533Mhz clock).
PMU
STMP15x-SOM have Power Management Unit based on AXP209 IC. It allow the power voltage to
SOC core, peripherals, DDR3L memory and etc to be programmable via I2C. Special driver in Linux
take care for the different power modes.
USB
High Speed USB 2.0 Host and High Speed USB 2.0 OTG.
Displa
RGB LCD display on LCD 40 pin connector, compatible with LCD-OLinuXino displays.
Audio
ES8388 Stereo Audio codec generates Audio output and takes care for microphone input.
