System Workbench for STM32

Hi

When ac6 imports a CubeMX created project it creates a physical folder structure below //SW4STM32/

Files initially there are links (not unix symlinks) to physical files created by CubeMX.
See also http://www.openstm32.org/forumthread543

Go to right click Project Explorer -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Includes and add (Workspace) "User" folder.

For debug configuration go to Menu -> Run -> Debug Configurations and select a proper created openocd script.

Thanks for the response!

Problem 1 is solved, and the debugging-problem is still in progress, but i'm some steps further ...I'l report.

Harry

Ok, debugging works so far...thanks a lot!

Now there is one problem left, when i try to program the chip: (target->prorgramm chip)

I've used the board-definition i created when initialy launched openocd.

What's going wrong?
I think, it has to do with the reset-handling....any idea?

Harry

Ok, now I'm totaly confused!
My debugger "run by acceident"
I've forgotten to stop my manualy started openocd in an xterm.
That prevents openstm to start another openocd because the network-port is already occupied.
In this setup debugging works!

If eclipse starts the openocd, debugging don't work, and I think, I've discored why:

The debug-script generated by OpenSTM looks like this:

1. This is an test1 board with a single STM32F103C8Tx chip.
2. Generated by System Workbench for STM32

set WORKAREASIZE 0x5000
transport select "hla_swd"

source find target/stm32f1x_stlink.cfg

1. use hardware reset, connect under reset

reset_config srst_only srst_nogate

The problem in this setup are the 2 lines "transport select" and reset_config.
If I comment out this lines, and start openocd manualy with this script, everything works like expected, but as soon, as I try to debug from eclipse this file ist overwritten with it's old content.
I than tried to use a custom debug-script (the above content with the 2 lines commented out), but eclipse seems to ignore this script.

Is there a template that i can change, or at which place do I find the srew to adjust this behavior?

Harry

Hi Harry,

this is how I solved the openocd problem: http://www.openstm32.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=2221&topics_offset=69

Create a file blabla.cfg and refer to it as "local script" in the Debugger tab of the run/debug configurations dialog.
This file will not become overwritten.

I'm very interested to know whether this works out of the box for you
My Installation is totally recent and I had to replace
~/.p2/pool/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.7.0.201602121829/resources/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f1x.cfg (s.o)

BTW transport select "hla_swd" should be ok. The problem seems to be the reset config alone.

I'm using a Maple-mini (clone from ebay) and an ST-link v2 (clone from ebay).

Dieter

Hi Dieter,
seems to be exactly my setup!
I'm also using a maple-mini-clone from china and an ST-LINK V2 from ebay.

I'll tried that already, but, I'll give it a second chance.
Perhaps there was some caching involved in my 1st try.

Harry

No, that dosn't work!
openocd is terminated with returncode 143

Harry

edit still the reset-problem

Hello Harry,

Have you connected the NRST pin of your maple-mini to the NRST pin of your ST-Link V2 ?

Regards,
Tarek BOUCHKATI

My problems are solved by a workaround.
For now I'm using the ST-Link V2.1 on my nucleo-board.

That works as expected.

Harry

Hi All,

I'm new in this area and have a small but for me very big problem. I can't Run/Debug my project using Workbench. At trying to do it the tool returns following Error message:

" OpenOCD child process termination

Reason:
Unplugged target or STlink already in use or STlink USB driver not installed"

Need to mention that my target is plugged and I can program and debug it by using Keil uVision.

Could you please help me to solve this issue?

Thanks In Advance,
Hayk

Hi LaurentL,
Thank you for response,

I have closed Keil and tried it again but the same result.

Thanks,
Hayk

Hello,

Are you sure the STlink USB driver is installed correctly ?
You can reinstall it with the STLink usb driver installer from ST web.

Hi,

The STM32VLDiscovery board is not supported by SW4STM32.
Because as you said, It has a STLink V1 embedded. (no USB driver needed for this STLink version).

In the list of STM32F1 boards supported, the VLdisco is not present.
see http://www.openstm32.org/Supported%2BSTM32%2Bboards

Rgds,
Laurent

To mr_hayko,

You also can see that the board is not present in the list when you create a project for the STM32F1 family.
Only Nucleo or Eval boards appear in the list.

Rgds,
Laurent

Hi Laurent,

Thank you very much, you were very supportive.
Thank you!!!

Best Regards,
Hayk
