ARM Toolchain Experience (1)

down voteaccepted

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

Install the flash player for Chromium in Ubuntu 16.04

Be sure to enable the Canonical partners repository

Go to Software Center => Software & Updates(top left corner), and go to the "Other Software" tab.

then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin

Linux Serial Monitoring

(1) If you do need to know the identity of the serial port <devicename> use the command:
ls /dev/ttyACM*

(2) Connect using screen by typing the command screen:

sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0

Maybe you need to:

sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
