Progress

project start : 13/01/2014

Week 1 (13/01 - 19/01)

  • Project discovery
  • Research of related projects


Week 2 (20/01 - 26/01)

  • STM32 develop environment
   Add USB device
       Create a new udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-usb-stlink-v2.rules: 
       SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0483", ATTR{idProduct}=="3748", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
       To reboot :
       $ sudo service udev restart
   
   Download the GNU/ARM toolchain
       Download the Linux current installation tarball from 
       https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download
       $ tar -xvjf gcc-arm-none-eabi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-linux.tar.bz2
       Add the fallowing to your ~/.bashrc
       export PATH=$PATH:~/xxxxxxx/gcc-arm-none-eabi-xxxxxxxxx/bin
       $ source ~/.bashrc
       To check :
       $ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
       If you get an error message “bash : ... file does not exist”. 
       Maybe it is caused by the difference between 32bit and 64bit system. Try :
       $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs*
   
   Download and Build STLINK
       STLINK is for programming and debugging firmware.
       you'll first need to install a couple of packages:
       $ sudo apt-get install autoconf pkg-config libusb-1.0 git
       Retrieve a copy of the STLINK source:
       $ git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink.git
       Build the code following the instructions in the README, with:
       $ ./autogen.sh
       $ ./configure
       $ make
       As a sanity check, look in ~/st-link and you should see st-util, st-flash, etc... 
       You may check if the board could be connected by execute st-util. 
       If it does not work please confirm if the rule you added in the first step corresponds your system.
   
   Refer to link : http://www.wolinlabs.com/blog/linux.stm32.discovery.gcc.html
  • Try the official examples of ST on the cards
   To avoid using the commercial software IDE and understand better, We decided to develop on Linux for this project.
   During the tries, for certain examples, we've got different results on STM32F407 and STM32F401. 
   We choose STM32F407 as the hardware for the following developement.


Week 3 (27/01 - 02/02)

  • Test Project MicroPython
  • Test Project Shedskin
  • STM32 hardware

   1) hold the Reset button while:
   $ st-util

   KARL - should read back as 0x03, not 60 02 00 00
   init watchpoints
   Listening at *:4242...
   
   2) Next you will need to launch gdb (in a new terminal) from the tools directory 
   and make use of the compiled binary that you pulled created earlier during the "make all". 
   $ tools/arm-2011.03/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb -q build/fw_coptercontrol/fw_coptercontrol.elf

   (gdb) l
   
 I quitted the gdb when i found that the board worked again. Again you can easily verify the firmware.
   
 There are some situations solved by erasing or flashing while holding the reset button(black), but it does not work in our issue.

  • Test of STM32 printf
 Refer to link : http://vedder.se/2012/07/usb-serial-on-stm32f4/
 
 We have tried the program for the STM32F4 Discovery that uses the USB-CDC class to show up as an virtual serial port. 
 It has routed the write system call to use this port, so the stdio printf function will print directly to this serial port.
 After have uploaded the program to the STM32F4 discovery and plug in a micro-USB cable to the port next to the audio jack.
 The serial port should show up as /dev/ttyACM0 on most GNU/Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu.
 Start a serial port terminal, such as gtkterm (sudo apt-get install gtkterm on Debian/Ubuntu), and open ttyACM0.
