== Purpose ==
This article explains and describes the hardware configuration required to be able to activate and run the STM32 MPU platforms.

The PC requirements depend on the [[Which Package better suits your needs|Package you want to use]].

The table below guides through the selection and configuration of the host PC environment according the targeted Package:
{| class="st-table"

|-
| '''Windows (64 bits) '''<br>&emsp;Tested with Windows7 and Windows10<br>&emsp;Preferred version Windows 10 || native || [[PC_prerequisites#Virtual Machine installation|Virtual Machine]] || [[PC_prerequisites#Virtual Machine installation|Virtual Machine]] 
|-
| '''Linux (64 bits)'''<br>&emsp;Tested with Ubuntu '''18.04''' and 16.04 || native || native + additional packages (see [[#Linux PC|Linux PC]] chapter ) || native + additional packages  (see [[#Linux PC| Linux PC]] chapter )
|}


There are no absolute minimal requirements regarding the PC hardware configuration, however ST recommends to meet or exceed the following hardware configurations when using '' Developer Package'' or ''Distribution Package''.

The table below correspond to the minimal validated configuration:
{| class="st-table"
|-
! Hardware item !! Minimal validated configuration !! Comments / Recommendations
|-
| CPU || core i5-2540M @ 2.6GHz <br> 2 cores (4 threads) <br> 3MB cache || '''64 bits instruction set is mandatory''' <br> '''8 cores/threads or more''' is a good config moreover for ''Developer Package'' and ''Distribution Package''.  
|-
