• A ready-to-use Windows cross-toolchain that allows building Linux applications for STM32MP1 without requiring a separate Linux VM. It is fully integrated with VisualGDB and allows creating and debugging projects with a few clicks.
• A prebuilt Linux-to-Linux cross-toolchain and a set of SD card images based on the official OpenSTLinux distro.
• A GUI wrapper for the ST-Link programmer that simplifies uploading of the STM32MP1 SD card images without requiring a Linux VM.
• A Windows build of the STM32MP1 fork of OpenOCD that is fully integrated into VisualGDB and lets you debug STM32MP1 devices in both production and engineering modes.
• A BSP package with numerous examples from ST that allows quickly exploring various STM32MP1 examples from Visual Studio.
