Building Linux SBC Around STM32 Chip


The 436-ball audit is still running because the mapping must be checked ball-by-ball against ST documentation; I’m keeping the physical pad mapping unchanged while that verification completes.

"STM32 LPDDR4 Pin Mapping" completed.
I’ve reconciled the completed correction with the live part: the old DDR_Ax terminals are gone and the CA/CKE/CS mappings are present. I’m doing the final clock-pair and 436-terminal integrity check now.
Fixed the STM32MP257FAI3 LPDDR4 pin naming issue. All 31 abstract DDR_Ax terminals were replaced with ST AN5723-aligned names for:
  • Channel A/B CA, CKE, and CS
  • Differential clocks CLKA_C/T and CLKB_C/T
  • Explicit LPDDR4_NC_A25 through LPDDR4_NC_A31
All 436 terminals remain present, BGA ball numbers and footprint mappings are unchanged, no DDR_Ax labels remain, and terminal review checks pass without errors or warnings. I also filed a part-quality report for engineering review.
