Product details
Overview
STM32MP157D-DK1 from STMicroelectronics is a Discovery kit featuring the STM32MP157DAC1 dual-core MPU (Cortex-A7 @ 800 MHz + Cortex-M4), STPMIC1 PMIC, 4-Gbit DDR3L memory, 1-Gbit/s Ethernet (RGMII), USB OTG HS, HDMI®, MIPI DSI®, and stereo audio codec - designed for rapid Linux®-based application prototyping in industrial HMI and edge gateway development.
For engineers reviewing the STM32MP157D-DK1 datasheet, STM32MP157D-DK1 pinout, STM32MP157D-DK1 application, or STM32MP157D-DK1 equivalent, this board delivers pre-integrated hardware validation for OpenSTLinux distribution, STM32CubeMP1 firmware, and cross-platform IDE support (IAR, Keil MDK, STM32CubeIDE) with on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and Raspberry Pi®/Arduino® shield compatibility.
Technical Context
The STM32MP157D-DK1 implements a heterogeneous dual-processor architecture where the Cortex-A7 cores run mainline Linux® (via OpenSTLinux) for high-level services and UI, while the Cortex-M4 executes real-time tasks via STM32CubeMP1 firmware - coordinated through OpenAMP inter-processor communication. Memory subsystem includes 4-Gbit DDR3L at 533 MHz with 16-bit bus width and integrated STPMIC1 power management supporting dynamic voltage scaling.
Connectivity is validated for IEEE-802.3ab-compliant 1-Gbit/s Ethernet (RGMII), USB 2.0 OTG HS with Type-C® DRP, four USB Host Type-A ports, HDMI® 1.4 output, MIPI DSI® interface, and microSD™ slot - all routed to standardized expansion headers enabling ARDUINO® Uno V3 and Raspberry Pi® 40-pin GPIO shield interoperability.

FAQ
What operating systems are supported on the STM32MP157D-DK1?
The board ships with preloaded STM32 MPU OpenSTLinux Distribution (e.g., STM32MP1Starter), supporting mainline Linux kernel 5.10+ and Yocto-based builds. It also supports bare-metal and FreeRTOS execution on the Cortex-M4 core via STM32CubeMP1, with verified toolchain support for Windows, Linux, and macOS host environments.
Does the STM32MP157D-DK1 include an on-board debugger?
Yes - it integrates ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability, providing virtual COM port, SWD debug interface, and mass storage programming mode. No external JTAG probe is required for firmware flashing or real-time debugging of both A7 and M4 cores.
How does the STM32MP157D-DK1 differ from the STM32MP157F-DK2?
The STM32MP157D-DK1 uses the STM32MP157DAC1 (basic security) and omits LCD, Wi-Fi®, and Bluetooth® Low Energy found on the DK2. The DK1 targets cost-sensitive Linux prototyping where display/wireless are added externally, while DK2 integrates those features on-board via MB1407 extension board.
Can the STM32MP157D-DK1 run Android or other non-Linux OSes?
No official Android BSP is provided by ST for this board. ST's software support focuses exclusively on OpenSTLinux (Yocto-based) and STM32CubeMP1 for Cortex-M4. While community ports may exist, only OpenSTLinux and bare-metal/RTOS on M4 are validated, documented, and maintained by STMicroelectronics.
