OpenSTM workbench frustration
I’m getting pretty frustrated with the OpenSTM32 workbench. Though I appreciate it is free and shouldn’t complain, I must point out that I’ve wasted a lot of time with it.
I built a toolchain using Eclipse and the cross compiler as pointed out in the link: http://thehackerworkshop.com/?p=1056 and have been using it succesfully for quite a while. When the new boards came out (429 disco and F7 disco) I thought I should move to Cubex for code and try to get on that bandwagon. Previously I was using a lot of code from Tilen at Stm32f4-discovery.net but I was getting to the point of having problems with the 429.
So I downloaded the Ac6 version and everything compiles and in some cases, even better than my old toolchain but nothing works. It looks to me like the startup and vectors are different between the two tool chains. Actually, they are different but I am not skilled enough yet to figure out what is going wrong.
The mbed compiler is working. I was able to get USB VCP, LCD, Touch, and ethernet sockets going quickly but the issue with Mbed setting aside the bloat, is tha serial has a bug that I don’t understand so I went back to OpenSTM32 and that won’t do anything.
So the bottom line is I would really like to see the AC6 code working with USB VCP etc. I posted a thread about the problem with no comments.
If anybody else built that other chain and could give me a hint on what could be wrong, I would appreciate it.
thanks
