Good day. I have a stm32mp157a-dk1. I wanted to install linux on the board according to the instructions https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/STM32MP1
When u-boot is loaded from a microSD card, a message appears: “unrecognized filrsystem” and the download stops. Help to understand please.
@alexander, without seeing your exact u-boot error message, i’m betting you missed this step:
Set legacy BIOS partition
sudo sgdisk -A 4:set:2 ${DISK}

I ask you to forgive me - after a thorough reinstallation, the problem is gone. Another came 
I can not lift the network on the wired interface. It links, but the ping does not go. Help me please. I am new in these matters. Thank you in advance.
Hi @alexander, in 5.2.x right now both USB and Ethernet seem to have issues, 5.3.0-rc1 should hit Sunday afternoon, i’m hoping more of the STM32MP patches have made it to mainline…

Thank you for your work. I look forward to the patch. Tell me please, and the instructions for installing the patched distribution will be changed? Thank you very much in advance!
Good day. Sorry for the intrusiveness, and what changes in the instructions https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/STM32MP1#STM32MP1-LinuxKernel, if you try another kernel, which is without bugs for USB and Ethernet? Probably a lot … and script build_kernel.sh and other things. I would like to try another build before the 5.3.0-rc1 release … Thank you in advance.
Good afternoon. I tried to do everything according to the instructions, but with the kernel 4.19.50-armv7-lpae-x35. The system is not loaded. Writes the following:

Note, with u-boot v2019.10-rc1, u-boot will now write to the disk on bootup, we need to disable metadata_csum as u-boot will corrupt the image… (there are patches on the u-boot list to fix this, but for right now…)

Thanks a lot! | And for your time and work. And with usb, the problem is also solved in this version? Thank…
There would be more such people on earth …
Hello.
I’ve some problem with my STM32MP157-DK2.
I started test with kernel version 5.2.0 : board boot up correctly, LCD display works fine, ethernet and USB don’t work.
After this I updated kernel to 5.3.0-rc2 : boot up is correct, ethernet and USB works fine but LCD display stop working.
I tried at this point an update of uboot to 2019.10-rc1 : I get this:
Net: eth0: ethernet@5800a000
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Robert writes this note about u-boot :

metadata_csum as u-boot will corrupt the image… (there are patches on the u-boot list to fix this, but >for right now…)
But this is not clear for me. How I can get system working again ??
Someone could help me ?
Thank you.
@mutty, basically start from scratch, when you get to the stage where you create the ext4 partition, make sure you have the ^metadata_csum flag disabled as shown on the wiki.
Essentially, u-boot is corrupting the ext4 partition, as it’s not able to handle metadata_csum in v2019.10-rc1…
Regards,
Robert,
I miss this update in your instruction, as you correctly indicated:
for: DISK=/dev/sdX
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit ${DISK}4
The strange thing is that I tried a fresh installation but boot process hangs just in the beginning now:

(hangs here… )
It has no sense: probably I’ve done something wrong. I’ve to retry from the beginning.
Good day. Please tell me, how are your experiments going? Did you get the system installed?
Unfortunately, I can’t check it myself. I don’t have the equipment now.
Sincerely, Alexander.
Dear Alexander
Now system partially works fine. I recompiled uboot changing compiler version ( the same as indicated in the instruction, before I was using a newer one ).
After this boot is completed perfectly.
Now I have, LCD display, ethernet, serial console that are perfect. USB seems that is not yet working.
Clear, thank you very much for the information. When I finish my installation, I will also describe the results of the work to you, if you are interested. Thanks again, with respect, Alexander.
Dear Alexander,
please keep me updated about result of your test. This would be very useful for me.
Thank you.
Fine. We will be friends I will do so. Equipment will be available soon - in a few days. Good luck to you.
