## Software

The Kontron linux BSP software is based on the widely used Yocto linux distribution and supports the Kontron Demo-Kits. The adaptions for the STM32MP157 SOC are integrated by the specialized Yocto layers of OpenST.

The characteristics of the Kontron BSP are:

- Linux kernel with board and SOC adaptations
- U-Boot bootloader with board and SOC adaptions
- Linux userland based on the Yocto reference distribution with debian package format
- Boot process configruation in extlinux format
- sysvinit init manager
- GStreamer multimedia framework with hardware acceleration (demo integration)
- Qt 5.19 based on eglfs with OpenGL and QML/QtQuick support (demo integration)

For a quick start Kontron provides a VMware Image already preinstalled with all required development tools.
