Here is what you get when you purchase the BSP:

• Access to the professionally supported Linux Board Support Package (BSP) and Linux cross-development environment specifically optimised for the STM32H7 EVK board. We provide off-the-shelf support for all the features and capabilities we explicitly claim support for. Refer to Release Notes for the detailed list of currently supported features.
• Ability to download any future releases of the BSP from the Emcraft site at no extra charge, indefinitely.
• Access to the Emcraft support for any questions or issues related to the BSP. Refer to STM32H7-EVAL board Linux BSP Support for further details.

To answer one frequently asked question, with your purchase you receive full sources of all software components included in the BSP along with the off-the-shelf procedures required to re-build them. All software components included in the BSP are licensed using various Open-Source Software licenses, such as GPL, LGPL and similar.

To answer another frequently asked question, there are no run-time royalties associated with the BSP. You can install the BSP to as many hardware units as you like, port it to your custom boards and, generally speaking, do with it whatever you like, as long as you comply with software licenses of the included software packages.

Important note: Compliant with the spirit and letter of the GPL, Emcraft makes full sources of the U-Boot and Linux kernel trees for the STM32H7-EVAL board available from github.com. Feel free to download these sources and use them in any way you like, with understanding that Emcraft will not be able to support you.

Emcraft supports Linux (uClinux) as an operating system for the STM32H7-EVAL board. This page provides the release files of the STM32H7-EVAL board Linux BSP (Board Support Package) and the Linux software development environment.
