System Workbench for STM32

Posted by tarek bouchkati on 2015-09-29 14:37

Hello Rain Ellerma,

Could you please give us more details (mcu ? board ?) ?
Have you tried using ST-LINK UTILITY (with debug in low power mode is enabled) ?

As I know System Workbench cannot explicitly configure the reset type ! (I am not sure !!)
Alternatively, you can do it by modifiying openocd scripts (cfg files) related to your board or mcu.

Best Regards,

Custom board
STM32F407 MCU

The programming, debugging and everything works using Keil and Atollic systems, with STM utilities etc.

I'll check if I can get the printout of the whole failing procedure in coming days if that helps. There should be a easy way to configure the system to work without Reset wire connection (as the whole programming/debugging interface is built to work without it).

You can modify your custom board cfg file like
stm32f4discovery.cfg located in C:\Ac6\SystemWorkbench\plugins\fr.ac6.mcu.debug_xxxxxxxxxxxxx\resources\openocd\scripts\st_board

the last line configures the reset type :

1. use hardware reset, connect under reset

reset_config srst_only srst_nogate

by modifying this line you can modify reset type

For the life of me, I can't seem to find out how to use the Stlink in Ac6.
Where is the menu item?
For me the Ac6 is worthless if I can't send my program to the board.
This IS working in both Keil and IAR.and I don't want to do anything that wll kill that.

Thanks,
Bert

I already adressed this problem in april, but nobody seems to care.

I don't understand, how such an esential function isn't fixed in this long time.

The only reliable way i found is to use STLink V2.1 from my nucleo-board.

Sorry, but the support is a mess!

Hi Harry,

To use STLink-V2 without a reset connection you must edit the debug script. For that you should select "Use local script" to reference your script, instead of keeping it auto-generated, thus it will not be modified (go to the "Debugger" tab of the debug configuration to change the radio button from "Manual spec" to "Use local script").

You should probably also rename the .custom.cfg script name to some name that does not start by a dot, so that it will be more visible. If you do not see this file name (nor .project or .cproject) in your project you should right click on the small triangle at the top right of the project explorer window, select "Customize view..." and uncheck the ".*resources" line, like in the screenshot below).

Hope this helps,

Bernard (Ac6)

I already tried that, but the custom config seems to be ignored, as I wrote in my other post from april. (nothing changed until today - tried it again)
I'm using linux. and also the board-definition doesn't work.
It doesn't store anything, and always asks me to enter a new board-definition.

For me it seems, that the Software ist nearly untested with linux, and thats very frustrating. (Not shure, if the situation is much better with windows)

Currently I'm evaluating changing to another framework (ARM-Plugin & Co), because I can't see any effort in solving all this Problems.

Instead of fixing Bugs, you create new ones like in the 1.9-Version, where debugging was inmpossible, and it took several days to fix....
Fortunaly I'm a hobbyist and don't have to earn my money with programming, but that is inakzeptable!

This thread comes up when searching for this problem and the solution isn't quite correct so I'm replying even though it's old.

It makes no sense to have the line reset_config srst_nogate by itself. This was probably discovered by randomly editing the config files until it worked. The srst_nogate option would only make sense if you are actually using the nSRST line, and removing srst_only means that nSRST is not being used. The reason this works is only because of the default behavior of the reset_config option.

The correct setting for programming a board that does not have nSRST connected (i.e. software-only reset) is:

reset_config none

Hi ,

I am getting the error while debugging as follows. could you please suggest any solution for this.

Hello,
I finally got the Ac6, STM32F103C8T6 and ST-Link v2 work. I also created a tutorial of the steps taken to make it work.
The link is on my wordpress site here: http://www.exclude.se/?p=170

It's simple)) But I lost a lot of time to find out.
You need to configure in the cube "Pinout -> SYS -> Debug -> Serial Wire".
Then create the project in Cube for SWD and compile it.
Program the controller once in a different way, for example with ST-LINK Utility.
Configure the project debugging as the author writes above: http://www.exclude.se/?p=170
Now debugging in SWD+STLink-V2 works withouth hardware reset line.
If you remove Debug -> Serial again, the debugging will not work again...

Hello.
I use SW for STM32 to import / modify / compile projects like INAV (https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav).
This is going well.
Unfortunately I can not find the solution in the menus of the imported project to debug under OpenOCD.ST-LINK V2.
I do not have access to the view to define the recipient board and to start OpenOCD ....

To verify I created a small project "Test" that I could compile.
When I clicked on "Debug as" I could create the configuration file of the card thanks to a view that I could not access before (INAV)
On the other hand, then, I met the error described in this forum related to the bad VID / PID (PID 0x374B instead of 0x3748)
Can detail to me the operations that I must perform to solve these two problems?

1- Menus to access at board description and openocd start debug when import project
2- Solution to VID/PID ST-LINK V2 problem : Solution is modify ST-LINK V2.CFG in AC6 repertory
In advance Thank you.

Hi,

When I am trying to build LoRaWAN-demo-72-bootcamp i am getting errors like these:Description Resource Path Location Type
Unknown LoRaWAN-demo-72-bootcamp Unknown Unknown org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Marker@7dc86cde is not of a displayable type

Description Resource Path Location Type
Unknown subdir.mk Unknown Unknown org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Marker@5776c3fd is not of a displayable type.

LoRaWAN-demo-72-bootcamp successfully build on Mbed Online compiler.and then i exported those code to System wrokbench for STM32 IDE it is not building.
Thank you.
