1. Eclipse and Plug in:

1.1 Eclipse download

Tested with Eclipse Luna for this tutorial. Should work with newer versions.

Step 1:
Download the Eclipse Package
Link to Download Luna Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Luna/SR2

From above link download : Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (Reference 1)

Step 2:
Create ARM_Toolchain folder
Copy and extract the Eclipse in ARM_Toolchain

kmani@kmani:~$ mkdir ARM_Toolchain


kmani@kmani:~$ cd ARM_Toolchain
kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ cp -f -r /home/kmani/Downloads/eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-
linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain
kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ ls
eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ tar -xzf eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ ls
eclipse eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Change the eclipse into eclipseARM (Reference 2)

kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ ls
eclipseARM eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Create Workspace Directory (Reference 3)

kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ mkdir workspaceARM


kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ ls
eclipseARM eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz workspaceARM

Open Eclipse /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/eclipseARM/eclipse with workspace workspaceARM

2.2 stlink setup for first STM32 flashing:


Download the stlink-master.tar.gz from drop box (Reference 24)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/obnb510wvrtcxrh/stlink-master.tar.gz?dl=0 and paste into the
ARM_Toolchain folder and extract it.
(The Latest one does not seem to build properly so Download from drop box)

2.3 Flash setup for Eclipse IDE


To Know flash location use which st-flash

kmani@kmani:~/ARM_Toolchain$ which st-flash


/usr/local/bin/st-flash

2.3.1.St-flash Debug

Go to Eclipse -> Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configuration
Select program and add New launch configuration or double click the program (in left side )

Name : st-flash Debug

In Main Tab:
Location : /usr/local/bin/st-flash
Working Directory:
select varibles as project_loc
then type as ${project_loc}/Debug/
Arguments :
write ${project_name}.bin 0x8000000
then click Apply

(Note: Now the name New configuration change into st-flash Debug )
In Common Tab :

Save as option as Local file


And in Display in favorites menu select the External Tools then click Apply

Dont Run now after Apply just click Close


2.3.2.St-flash Release

Go to Eclipse -> Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configuration

Select program and add New launch configuration or double click the program (in left side )

Name : st-flash Release

In Main Tab:
Location : /usr/local/bin/st-flash
Working Directory:
select varibles as project_loc
then type as ${project_loc}/Release/
Arguments :
write ${project_name}.bin 0x8000000

then click Apply

(Note: Now the name New configuration change into st-flash Release )
In Common Tab :

Save as option as Local file


And in Display in favorites menu select the External Tools then click Apply

Dont Run now just Close it

Cross check the availability of st-flash Debug and st-flash Release in External tools
Run External Tools
1 St-flash Debug
2 St-flash Release

2.4 Debug Setup for Eclipse IDE:

Select -> Start OpenOCD locally
Executable -> /usr/bin/openocd
GDB port -> 3333
Telnet port ->4444
config options -> -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f
/usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f2x_stlink.cfg

Select -> Allocate console for openOCD

GDB Client Setup


Excecutable : /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/arm-none-
eabi-gdb
(Note: for Excecutable -> Browse and select /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/gcc-
arm-none-eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb)

Other options :
(Note : for Other options no need to fill anything )
Commands : set mem inaccessible-by-default off

Dont select the Force thread list update on suspend

Then Click Apply

In Common Tab :

Save as
Select Local file

Display in favorites menu


Select Debug
don't select the Run option

Encoding:
Select Default -inherited (UTF-8)

Standard input and output


Select Allocate console (necessary for input )
Don't select ->File

Select Launch in background


Then Click Apply

(Note: Dontt change startup and source Tab option keep it as default )

Dont Debug now just Close it


Cross check the availability of Debug OpenOCD in Debug
3. Sample project using Eclipse IDE (without STM32CubeMx)

3.1 New Project

Location: /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/eclipseARM/eclipse
(Reference 7)
Go to Eclipse - > File ->New -> Project
C/C++ -> C project -> Next -> STM32F2xx C/C++ Project

(Note: in Wizard s: no need to write anything)


(Reference 23)
Project name -> blink_test_open207FG

Next window as default only but unselect the Exclude unused )


Folder option -> default as it is

Select configuration -> Debug and Release


Cross GNU ARM Toolchain

Toolchain Name : GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors (arm-none-eabi-gcc)

(Reference 8)
(Note: Browse the Tool Chain path and find it /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/gcc-arm-
none-eabi/bin)

Then click Finish

3.2. Clean and Run the project

(Note: Dont think about error at starting point processed to Build.


Build option in Debug only not in Release for completed process)

Before Build the Project do the above two settings


Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Cross ARM GNU Create Flash Image
-> General

Set configuration as Debug and change the Output file format as Raw binary from Intel
Hex
Then click Apply
and aslo
Set configuration as Release and change the Output file format as Raw binary from
Intel Hex

Then click Apply and OK


3.3. Flashing :

Connect the Device


Run -> External Tools -> st-flash Debug

Step 1:
Open the USB_CDC_VCP project
Location: /home/kmani/ARM_Toolchain/eclipseARM/eclipse

Right click the project -> Index -> Rebuild


(If error occur try Project Build All)
Now program get modified

Step 2:

Include Header Files

#include "usbd_cdc_if.h"
#include "diag/Trace.h"

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
Change main.c program and include some variables:

/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */

/* USER CODE END 2 */

/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */

}

At last in the program include the function:

if (cBuff <= 9)

ic1.cval[1] = cTemp_Buff1[1];
cRetVal = ic1.ival ;
return(cRetVal);
}

In usbd_cdc_if.c file

Change APP_RX_DATA_SIZE 4 into 64 and also APP_TX_DATA_SIZE 4 into 64 and include two
extra variables

extern uint8_t receive_data[64];


extern uint8_t _index;

#define APP_RX_DATA_SIZE 64
#define APP_TX_DATA_SIZE 64

And Change the CDC_Receive_FS and CDC_Transmit_FS function as

static int8_t CDC_Receive_FS (uint8_t* Buf, uint32_t *Len)


{

receive_data[_index]=Buf[0];
// _index++;
if(++ _index==64)
{
_index=0;
}

USBD_CDC_SetRxBuffer(&hUsbDeviceFS, &Buf[0]);
USBD_CDC_ReceivePacket(&hUsbDeviceFS);
return (USBD_OK);
/* USER CODE END 6 */
}

uint8_t CDC_Transmit_FS(uint8_t* Buf, uint16_t Len)


{
uint8_t result = USBD_OK;
/* USER CODE BEGIN 7 */
memcpy(UserTxBufferFS, Buf, sizeof(uint8_t)*Len);

USBD_CDC_HandleTypeDef *hcdc =
(USBD_CDC_HandleTypeDef*)hUsbDeviceFS.pClassData;
if (hcdc->TxState != 0){
return USBD_BUSY;
}
USBD_CDC_SetTxBuffer(&hUsbDeviceFS, Buf, Len);
result = USBD_CDC_TransmitPacket(&hUsbDeviceFS);
/* USER CODE END 7 */
return result;
}

Step 3: Output file format

Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Cross ARM GNU Create Flash Image ->

Set configuration as Debug and change the Output file format as Raw binary from Intel Hex
Then click Apply
and aslo
Set configuration as Release and change the Output file format as Raw binary from Intel Hex
