STM32F4 Discovery – Libraries and tutorials for STM32F4 series MCUs by Tilen Majerle. Working with STM32F4xx series and Standard peripheral drivers (STD, SPL) or with STM32F0xx, STM32F4xx or STM32F7xx using Hardware abstraction layer libraries (HAL) from STMicroelectronics. My libraries are built on these 2 packages and are highly optimized compared to them.

Code

STM32F410Rx_User_Manual.chm

CubeMX may duplicate c files in C_SOURCES variable they must be removed of you will get multiple declaration errors in linking

HAL – Hardware abstraction layer, abstracts hardware commands

LL – TBD

Delay – HAL_Delay( 500); * Stop for 1/2 second *

GPIO

Port initialization

  /* Struct options are defined in stm32f1xx_hal_gpio.h */
  GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_13;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
  GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_LOW;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStruct);

The following functions are in format Port, Pin

HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_13); – Toggle Pin state

GPIO_PIN_SET == HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(GPIOA, BUTTINPIN) – Read Pin status

HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIO_TypeDef * GPIOx, uint16_t GPIO_Pin, GPIO_PinState PinState ) – Write Specific state to Pin

PinState = GPIO_PIN_RESET, GPIO_PIN_SET

UART

both functions should be added un “USER CODE BEGIN 4”

Add following code to allow printf() to print out UART

int _write(int file, char *outgoing, int len) {
   HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, outgoing, len, 100);
   return len;
}

This code allows ch = getchar(); to work,

int _read(int file, char *result, size_t len) {
    HAL_StatusTypeDef status;
    int retcode = 0;

    if (len != 0) {
        status = HAL_UART_Receive( &huart3, (uint8_t *) result, len, HAL_MAX_DELAY);

        if (status == HAL_OK) {
            retcode = len;
        } else {
            retcode = -1;
        }
    }
    return( retcode);
}

also add setvbuf(stdin, NULL, _IONBF, 0); before while loop to tune off 1k buffer

i2c

I2C_HandleTypeDef *hi2c
uint8_t data[6];

Shift Address by 1 leaving room for read / write bit

status = HAL_I2C_Master_Receive(hi2c, HMC5883LADDRESS<<1, &data, 6, HMC5883LTIMEOUT);

status = HAL_I2C_Master_Transmit(hi2c, HMC5883LADDRESS<<1, &returntofirstvalue, 1, HMC5883LTIMEOUT);

Programer and Debug

Memory locations

0x2000000 – RAM

0x8000000 – Flash

Bluepill programing

Set the ‘boot 0′ pin/jumper high (1), and keep ‘boot 1’ low (0)
Upload code
For normal use, set both boot pins low (0)
Reset board

st-link utility

GitHub – texane/stlink: stm32 discovery line linux programmer

Programming STM32 Microcontroller Flash in Linux

st-flash write myflash.bin 0x8000000 – write code to flash

st-util – start debugging

./st-util - usage:

  -h, --help		Print this help
  -vXX, --verbose=XX	Specify a specific verbosity level (0..99)
  -v, --verbose		Specify generally verbose logging
  -s X, --stlink_version=X
			Choose what version of stlink to use, (defaults to 2)
  -1, --stlinkv1	Force stlink version 1
  -p 4242, --listen_port=1234
			Set the gdb server listen port. (default port: 4242)
  -m, --multi
			Set gdb server to extended mode.
			st-util will continue listening for connections after disconnect.
  -n, --no-reset
			Do not reset board on connection.
