stm32 - Move embedded programming from Keil to Linux


I'm currently using Keil to develop for an STM32 discovery board. My project is close to finished, and I'd like to move to a Linux based building environment. I've been using the preconfigured flashing tool and the STLink drivers for windows to flash the board, and I got keil to export a bin file, which I managed to flash on my Linux machine using qSTLink2. So far, so good.


Now I'm stuck on moving the process of building the entire project. Specifically:


How do I port my .uvproj to a makefile, while taking things like the 'startup_stm32l1xx_md.s' startup file into account?



Answer



Got it done. I figured I'd share my results so others can use it. Thanks for your time, everyone.




I used this ARM toolchain to build my project, and the texane/stlink library, which comes with the ./st-flash tool, to flash the binary to my STM32L1. While texane/stlink comes with GDB, I found I could get the building+flashing process done without it.


My Makefile ended up looking like this. It isn't very pretty or abstract, but it gets the job done.



all:
arm-none-eabi-gcc -T stm32l1xx.ld -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3 -D STM32L1XX_MD -D USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER startup_stm32l1xx_md.s system_stm32l1xx.c main.c [ sources ] -lm --specs=nosys.specs -o Project.elf

In which:



  • arm-none-eabi-gcc
    The ARM toolchain

  • -T stm32l1xx.ld
    The linker document

  • -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3

    Tell GCC this is for an M3

  • -D STM32L1XX_MD -D USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER
    Defines for the Standard Peripheral Driver

  • startup_stm32l1xx_md.s
    GCC oriented startup document.

  • system_stm32l1xx.c main.c [ sources ]
    List of my source files

  • -lm
    For Math.h(LibMath)

  • --specs=nosys.specs

    Don't use sytems calls like _exit.

  • -o Project.elf
    Output name

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
