ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Hi All.
just down load the latest Chibistudio and am trying to get the F4xx-RTC demo running.

Everything complies OK

But when starting the external tool what .cfg should i select ?

Hi,

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

Giovanni

So i select external tool "OCD on ST-LINK/V2", when prompted i select stm32f4discovery.cfg

Below is the console output, there is a warning/Error not sure what this is......

Open On-Chip Debugger 0.7.0 (2013-05-05-10:41)
Licensed under GNU GPL v2
For bug reports, read
http://openocd.sourceforge.net/doc/doxygen/bugs.html

Info : stm32f4x.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints

I then proceed to open debug session and get the following GDB Hardware Debugger error "Execution is suspended because of error" in the details it says

Execution is suspended because of error.
continue
The program is not being run.

In the console for the arm-none-eabi-gdb

symbol-file C:\\ChibiStudio\\chibios\\testhal\\STM32F4xx\\RTC\\build\\ch.elf
set remotetimeout 20
monitor reset init
"monitor" command not supported by this target.
monitor sleep 50

load C:\\ChibiStudio\\chibios\\testhal\\STM32F4xx\\RTC\\build\\ch.elf
You can't do that when your target is `None'
tbreak main

continue

Found out the issue, the discoverykit must have been an old one, has a device 401 on and even STs own ST-Link software could not talk to it...


Cheers

The F401 ones are the newest but the demos are targeted to the F407.

Hi there, I've got the same issue here.

OS: Tested with Win7/64 and WXP SP3

1. Installed fresh ChibiStudio with i586 Java. Apart from that, nothing else. No drivers for the discovery, nothing.
2. Project Explorer, Project ARMCM4-STM32F407-DISCOVERY open
3. Run/Debug History/ARMCM4-STM32F407-DISCOVERY (OpenOCD, Flash and Run)

Results:

Execution is suspended because of Error



symbol-file C:\\ChibiStudio\\chibios\\demos\\ARMCM4-STM32F407-DISCOVERY\\build\\ch.elf
set remotetimeout 20
monitor reset init
"monitor" command not supported by this target.

On the board sits a STM32F407VGT6.

Do I miss something basic?
The jumpers on the ST-Link are in place. Do I have to connect something more?
Do I have to set breakpoints?
Do I need drivers for the ST-Link?

Thanks for any help or guidance beforehand!

You need to launch OpenOCD before starding "flash and run", there is a link "OpenOCD on STLink v2" in the tools menu in the toolbar.

See the attached presentation.

Thank you very much, Giovanni! It works now..

Strange thing is, sometimes it doesn't connect, like the ST-Link is offline or something. When im connect the Board wit the STM32 ST-LINK Utility, it works properly afterwards..

What I couldn't get to work ist the Virtual Com Port. Is this driver the correct one?

And is there a way to turn on printing the code size into the console after compiling?

Hi,

If you launch the debugger twice then the second instance fails, could this be your problem?

It looks like the right driver, just try it.

Code size print will be present in 2.6.4.

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni

It works! Because I couldn't manage it to work, I installed so many different drivers afterwards nothing worked.. After I recovered a blank system and installed only

ChibiStudio
Java 32bit
STM32 ST-LINK Utility
and the VCP-Driver from http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938

everything works fine now.

Thank you for your fast support!
