PRoMo_Firmware

This is the repo for the firmware from the PRoMo project.

What you need to compile

ST provides a bundle of command line utilities necessary to compile and debug a cmake project: STM32CubeCLT.

At the moment, the HAL library needs to be manually added to the project.

Usefull documentation

• Reference Manuel for the micro-controler: RM0383 -Reference manual. Usefull for a detailed description of the HW modules.
• Datasheet of the uc : STM32F411xE Datasheet. You can found the list of the pins alternate functions here.
• You can also found the HAL User Manual with the STM32CubeF4 in //STM32Cube/Repository/STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.21.0/Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/STM32F411xE_User_Manual.chm. You can see the details of every HAL functions and a list of the structures fields and possible values.

Debugging

OpenOCD

Install from package manager (choco for windows works)

openocd.exe -f ./tools/stlink.cfg -f ./tools/stm32f4x.cfg

GDB

Needs to be arm-none-eabi-gdb. Should come with the arm-none-eabi- toolchain.

arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe {BUILD_FOLDER}/{TARGET}.elf -x ./tools/.gdbinit

Setuping with Visual Studio Code

Use STM32 VSCode extension
