Dave discovers STM32

A bit strange that Dave never look into it before …

It is pretty funny watching him fumble around. Just like all of us the first time. : )

It seems like he is buying all their marketing hype about CubeMX .. it will be fun to watch his future videos as he actually tries to use it.

[Edit .. ] I just watched to the end of the video. I can imagine he is going to be have some interesting rants as he uses STM32Cube He needs to learn about system workbench ( http://www.openstm32.org/HomePage ) if he wants to use arm-none-eabi-gcc with a simple one download install and integration with the gui config tool.

I suspect he will end up using then buying TrueStudio as the Cube exports TrueStudio project files.

Edit.

It also never ceases to amaze me, how people have never heard of the STM32.

I presume the advertising budget of Microchip must be a lot higher than STM’s

Not that Dave will want to use it, because Dave will need to use commercial toolsets and libs etc etc, but perhaps someone should end him a link to grumpoldpizza’s arduino core.

Cube exports to the openstm32 stuff too. All the forum posts and his comments in the video seem to miss that point.

OK

I just registered with OpenSTM, but one thing I didnt like is that they want full address and phone number, just to download their “free” development system.

I think this is more than you need to get TrueStudio (though I can’t be sure)

I thought Truestudio cost money? openstm32 is completely free and has no restrictions.

Ah now I remember, it is windows only. openstm32 also works on linux.

TrueStudio seems to have an unlimited demo mode on Windows, with nag screen

I’m now downloading the windows version of OpenSTM32

I had previous made a post about System Workbench / AKA openstm32 / AKA GNU ARM eclipse from AC6

There is an importable project there (bluepill.zip), that will pull in a pared down version of stm32duino configured to build under System Workbench. I just dumped everything that was extra to make the zip file smaller and less confusing. If you download the attached zip file, and then use the File/Import… and select Existing Project and then select the downloaded bluepill.zip it will setup a project that lets you build stm32duino core with a simple asciitable example.

The core in that zip is from whatever was current at the time I did it (April 2016) See the full post for answer to questions other people had.
