STM32 Integrated Developement Framework

STM-IDF is a SDK (Software Development Kit) based on HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) Library.

What you need

Hardware:

• STM32 board.
• USB UART or ST-LinkV2 programmer/debugger.

Software:

• Toolchain GNU ARM Embedded to compile code.
• Build tools - CMake to build application.
• STM-IDF that contains API (software library and source code) for STM32.
• Text editor.
• Terminal (support ANSI/VT100) to view log output: minicom, putty,...
• Computer with Linux OS.

1. Setting up environment

Install GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain

The GNU Embedder Toolchain for ARM is a open source suite of tools for C, C++ and Assembly programming targeting ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-R family of processors. It includes the GNU Compiler (GCC) and is available free of charge directly from ARM for embedded software development on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.

Follow the link to see more detail.

Follow this instruction to install gcc-arm-none-eabi on Linux.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi

Install ST-LinkV2 driver

Install dependency:

sudo apt-get install git make cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential

Install ST-LinkV2 driver:

cd ~download_directory
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink
cd stlink
cmake .
make

sudo cp bin/st-* /usr/local/bin
sudo cp etc/udev/rules.d/49-stlinkv* /etc/udev/rules.d/

2. Setting up STM-IDF

Dowload STM-IDF

git clone https://github.com/phonght32/stm-idf

Setup environment variable

You need to export STM_IDF_PATH to use STM-IDF. Open your bash file and add this instruction:

export STM_IDF_PATH=path_to_stm_idf

Don't forget to source your bash file:

source ~/.bashrc

Check your setup:

printenv STM_IDF_PATH

3. Configuring the project

STM-IDF build all source code in any folder which contains component.mk file. Header folder default in include folder which same directory with the component.mk file. You also can configure path to source and header folder by using INCLUDE_PATHS and SOURCE_PATHS .

You can get the template project using STM-IDF at this link.

4. Compling the project

Build the project by running:

make build all

If the are no error occurs. the build will finish by generating binary .bin file into build folder.

5. Flashing to target

Flash over USART:

make flash_usart

Flash over ST-LinkV2:

make flash_stlink

6. Viewing log output

This SDK send log out put over UART3, tx_pin: PC10, rx_pin: PC11.

To view log output, run this command:

make monitor

7. Examples

There are many examples in stm-idf/examples folder. Follow tutorial in README file to implement.

Problem

Any problem when using this SDK, please create in Issues.
