ChibiStudio preview

[Abhishek]

Hope you are able to debug it now.

For using openOCD, select your project from the left hand side project window. It should work.

Abhishek and all,

Got it working with OpenOCD. Took a while to figure out what config
file I had to select.

Turns out it is

C:\ChibiStudio\tools\openocd\scripts\board\stm32f4discovery.cfg

in case anyone else is struggling with this...

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Ok, looks like I have gotten things working thanks to all the help here...

Now for my next request... ( you knew that was coming, right? )

In order to deal with version control and backups, I would like to move
my development

What I would like is something like this...

c:\projects
-------------/client1
----------------------/projectname
--------------------------------/stm32
--------------------------------/avr
-------------/client2
----------------------/projectname2
--------------------------------/stm32
--------------------------------/avr
-------------/client3
----------------------/projectname3
--------------------------------/stm32
--------------------------------/avr

From what I have read, it seems I should be able to create a new workspace in the STM32 directories
( such as c:\projects\client1\projectname\stm32 ). What I can't figure out is how to convince ChibiStudio
to work with this setup...

Thanks

Hi,

You can put projects everywhere on the file system not necessarily under the workspace, you can use the existing workspace and just import the projects.
You could then create a "working set" for each client in order to have them visually well organized in Eclipse.

What would be involved in adding the size command to the tail end of the build process?

It would be nice to know how big the project is for those times I do something really dumb and
allocate way too much memory...

You have to modify rules.mk and add the command there. you can copy it into the project and then refer the copy from the Makefile.

Hi,
I have difficulties setting up Segger J-Link to work with eclipse (STM32-E407 demo and chibistudio). Can someone help me ?

Thanks,

I was thinking, if next release of ChibiStudio onwards, could the bundled chibios folder may please be provided as a cloned git repository from the github upstream, so that it is as easy as a command to get the latest version, and also to switch release tags? I guess it would really be helpful and convenient for developers as well as users to get the latest stable / development version of the OS as they like. @Giovanni, what do you think?

Also, OpenOCD 0.6.1 bug fix release is coming soon. I think with that release, maybe we could apply mabl's patch for ChibiOS debugging (which should hopefully be ready soon) to it and provide our own customized version with the ChibiStudio bundle? I guess it would be the perfect time for the next release of ChibiStudio.

Best Regards
Abhishek

Hi,

I just uploaded version 3 of ChibiStudio, it includes updated compiler, OCD 0.7.0dev (supporting ChibiOS) and ChibiOS 2.5.1. Support for Atollic GDB server removed.

Giovanni,

I upgraded to version 3 of the chibios studio and got the following error...

make: *** No rule to make target `C:\ChibiStudio\chibios/os/hal/platforms/STM32/spi_lld.c', needed by `build/obj/spi_lld.o'.

I don't see anything in my project that may cause this and it works fine in V2. I saw this in the changelog:

- FIX: Fixed wrong SPI path in platform_f105_f107.mk (bug 3598151).

I wonder if it need fixing in the stm32f4 version also????

Also, is there somewhere that you document the different versions of drivers? Such as SPIv1 and SPIv2
If not, maybe a txt file in the different versions that specify the differences in the different drivers.

Thanks
-John
