Overview
This is the Linux BSP (Board Support Package) and the development environment for the STM32MP1 System-On-Module (SOM) and Starter Kit, release 4.0.1.
The BSP provides a software development environment for evaluation and development of Linux (uClinux) on the Cortex-A7 processor core of the STM32MP1 microcontroller (the 650MHz STM32MP157A and 800MHz STM32MP157D variants) using the Emcraft STM32MP1 SOM Starter Kit as a hardware platform.

New and Changed Features
This section lists new and changed features of this release:
Add support for the 800MHz STM32MP1-SOM based on STM32MP157D processor.
ID: STM32MP1-1.
Known Problems and Limitations
This section lists known problems and limitations of this release:
Managing U-Boot environment from Linux is not supported.
Some SD cards (mostly 32GB and higher capacity) are not detected or properly initialized by the system.
ID: RM 6831.
Workaround: 8GB SD cards from Kingstone, Transcend, Bestbuy are known to work reliably and can be used as a temporary work-around until a more generic solution is developed.
