how do i run it?

Difficulty · hard time til it works · 1day+

Requires PCB manufacturing and assembly, the README is minimal, so you'll need to dig into the design files directly.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1

Using peng-zhihui's stm32mp1-som schematics, explain what memory and connector changes I'd need to add USB-C to this board.

prompt 2

Walk me through what's required to manufacture and assemble the Quark-MP STM32MP1 board from the provided PCB layout files.

prompt 3

Explain how the STM32MP1 processor in this design balances performance and power efficiency for embedded Linux use cases.

prompt 4

Using this stm32mp1-som project as a reference, help me design a similar ARM-based Linux board for a smart home device.
