STM32L-DISCOVERY

Question

Do it yourself

Good day.

Not so long ago I bought the above board. While waiting for the delivery, I read a bunch of documentation and examples of working with it.
It comes with a pre-flashed sample program which is meant to demonstrate the board's capabilities.
The source code for this demo can be found in the examples in Keil, everything is good, rosy and beautiful, until I tried to port these examples to the mac.

The network is full of examples of working with stm32 in linux and mac os x, but I didn’t succeed in building the project from this demo (using the standard peripheral libraries from the stm website and the arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler). I've been struggling with the task for several weeks

. Can anyone manage to do this? Share your experience please...

Answer 1

as almost all stone manufacturers know, the software, with rare exceptions, is sharpened for Windows, in many cases, of course, you can suffer and set it up for a poppy - but it’s more rational to put vmware or parrallels on a poppy and start a virtual machine with Windows there, or directly put a partition with a bootcamp there - and just fiddling with all the electronics from this virtual machine, the performance is now quite enough not to even notice that you have a VM running around the clock in the background, everything works quite fast + there is quite convenient integration for accessing the poppy file system - that is, it saves you from little use waste of time.

Answer 2

This is exactly what I'm doing now - VmWareFusion + Win7 + Keil.
But in view of the fact that the RAM on the laptop is only 4 gigabytes and 120 gigabytes of hard, it’s very expensive to keep Windows)
There is, of course, libcm3, but it doesn’t support everything and not everything, but I want to work with official libs ...
