OpenSTLinux directory structure

来自百问网嵌入式Linux wiki

This article aims at presenting the directory structure of the Linux root file system available on STM32 board.

All files and directories are located under the root directory (/), in compliance with the File system Hierarchy Standard.

This root directory corresponds to the Linux root file system (rootfs partition), as defined in Flash partitions. Note also that the user file system (userfs partition), the boot file system (bootfs partition) and the vendor file system (vendorfs partition) can be accessed through the /usr/local mounting point, through the /boot mounting point, and through the /vendor mounting point respectively.

Info.png In practice, this article uses the release STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.0.0 for the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution as an example to illustrate the Linux directory structure. If you are using a different release, the names of the directories and files might differ.

The directories are shown in green, while the files are in black.
