ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Up to date OpenOCD binaries for Linux can be downloaded here: https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/releases
=> Linux-32 Bit: gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-centos32.tgz
=> Linux-64 Bit: gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-centos64.tgz

I simply extracted the archive to $HOME\Projects\Chibios\tools\OpenOCD... and adjusted the path for OpenOCD in the ChibiStudio start scrip accordingly. This seems to work for OpenOCD.

Nevertheless, I still can't debug, but I think there is a further problem, something like "no target defined"... I'll keep on trying

Finally I got everything to work:

An uptodate ST-Link-Driver for Linux is available within the AC6-SystemWorkbench package for Linux:
http://www.st.com/en/development-tools/sw4stm32.html
=> After registration, the download of the STM32-SystemWorkbench is free
=> An installation-Script is located at: /home/User/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/stlinkserver/stlinkserver_install.sh

Up-to-date and compiled OpenOCD Binaries can be found here:
https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/releases

Linux32 => gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-centos32.tgz
Linux64 => gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-centos64.tgz (I'm using this for my Linux-Mint 64Bit)

Note: I recommend to update OpenOCD also for the actual Windows version of ChibiStudio, there are updated and additional *.cfg files for several chips and boards.

Win32 => gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-win32.zip (I'm using this for my ChibiStudio on Windows10 64Bit)
Win64 => gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-win64.zip (maybe better? I havn't tried.)

For OpenOCD no installation is required, just replace (or put) the whole directory tree into: ChibiStudio\tools\openocd\...
=> Do not merge any files with the prior version(s)
=> I propose to remove the version subdirectory and keep the same paths as for the original ChibiStudio directories:
by changing the archive-path: "gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/0.10.0-7-20180123-1217/..." to "ChibiStudio/tools/openocd/..."

On Giovannis provided Linux repository there is actually no External-Tool launcher for the OpenOCD configured, you have to add it manually:
[Run]=>[External Tools]=>[External Tools Configurations...]

[Main]-Tab
[Name:] OpenOCD on ST-Link (promts for .cfg target configuration) (=> just write what ever you like...)
[Location:] /home/User/Projects/ChibiStudio/tools/openocd/bin/openocd
[Working Dir:] /home/User/Projects/ChibiStudio/tools/openocd/bin/
[Arguments:] -c "telnet_port 4444" -s "/home/User/Projects/ChibiStudio/tools/openocd/scripts" -f "interface/stlink.cfg" -f "${file_prompt}"

[Build]-Tab (check what ever you prefer, I'm using)
(x) Build before launch
(o) The project containing the selected resource
(x) Include referenced project

[Common]-Tab
(o) Local file
Display in favorites menu
(x) External Tools

Note: For all other settings I kept the defaults
Note: "stlink-v2-1.cfg" is deprecated => using now just "stlink.cfg"
Note: If anybody knows how to use relative paths instead of absolute paths, please let me know and post it here.

Then you are ready to work, have fun!

Note: Under Linux-Mint the whole toolchain (especially compiling) is running about 10x faster as on my new business notebook
(HP ProBook G4 i7-7500U, 8GB RAM 500GB SSD), this is really stunning!

Hi,

Linux driver? I have not installed anything like that, just OpenOCD.

I also experienced much faster compile time compared to windows, stunning difference really, the hard part is when you have to go back to win.

Giovanni

You say for Linux there is no ST-Link driver required?

Ok, maybe the St-Link-Server is not necessary t all, maybe there are additional functionality like
redirecting Semihosting to Eclipse-console while debugging? I don't know...

I found the issue on my side.
The folder should be /home/giovanni.

e.g. in /home/giovanni/Projects/ChibiStudio/workspace_18.2.x/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/ChibiOS (whole tree)/.location



Also other files has this dependencies.
Finally I make a new folder giovanni in home. Change ower to myself. Make the Projects-folder. And it works.

@Nico
Create a new workspace folder (e.g. \ChibiStudio\MyWorkspace\) then start Eclipse and select the created folder as new workspace.
This worked fine for me...
