Use the procedure documented below to install the U-Boot firmware, Linux kernel and filesystem images to an SD Card the STM32MP2 module will be bootable from. Having completed the installation, the STM32MP2 SOM will boot to Linux from the SD Card on next reset / power on.
Please note that the installation will erase files previously installed on your SD Card. The SD Card size should be at least 8GB for the Linux kernel and filesystem images to fit on the card.
Here is the procedure:
Insert SD Card to the board.
Follow the instructions in the https://voxelbotics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/546275360/Setting+up+the+STM32MP257F-EV1+Evaluation+Board#Installing-the-STM32CubeProgrammer-tool to install the STM32CubeProgrammer Tool to your host.

Power off the board and select the USB Serial Downloader mode (see in https://voxelbotics.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/561709057/Selecting+STM32MP2+EV1+Boot+Device?atl_f=content-tree ).
Attach USB-C (for STM32MP2 EV) cable to connector CN15 and to the Linux host.
Power on the board, attaching another USB-C cable to connector CN15.
Check that the programming USB port appeared on the host (note the "Device Index" in the output):
