SW4STM32 and SW4Linux fully supports the STM32MP1 asymmetric multicore Cortex/A7+M4 MPUs

   With System Workbench for Linux, Embedded Linux on the STM32MP1 family of MPUs from ST was never as simple to build and maintain, even for newcomers in the Linux world. And, if you install System Workbench for Linux in System Workbench for STM32 you can seamlessly develop and debug asymmetric applications running partly on Linux, partly on the Cortex-M4.
You can get more information from the ac6-tools website and download (registration required) various documents highlighting:

System Workbench for STM32 vs. Attolic TrueSTUDIO for STM32

Posted by gbabecki on 2018-01-19 20:56

This may be a bit of a rhetorical question, but now that ST has acquired Attolic and is offering Atollic TrueSTUDIO for STM32 for free, does this in anyway “impinge” on SW4STM32? I suspect the answer is it’s business as usual for the ongoing development of SW4STM32. Just wondering what the consensus of the SW4STM32 users might be on this topic.

I realize companies acquire other companies and their products all the time so today’s “yeah” can become tomorrow’s “boo-hoo” if the party line changes. I suspect that the independence of SW4STM32 development provides some open source assurance for a continuing path for these development tools.

Just wondering...

Hi all

I’m working at ST, in the marketing team in charge of STM32 ecosystem offer. So let me clarify things.

  • ST values the partnership with AC6 and is still willing to partner for the years to come
  • All STM32 firmware packages currently delivered officially under st.com come with the native support for 3 base IDEs: IAR EWARM, Keil MDK-ARM and AC6 SW4STM32. There is no intention to modify this list anytime soon.
  • ST acquired Atollic to speed up its ability to propose more stability and features. You can therefore expect we study some merges, eased by all the common ingredients in the two solutions (Eclipse, GCC, etc...). ST will take special attention to ensure that projects created under SW4STM32 and TrueStudio can still be reused in the merged result.


Hoping it clarifies things !

Sorry for the late acknowledgement of your clarification; I was traveling.

I appreciate the detailed information about the relationship between ST, AC6, and Atollic. While I am not using these tools for any production work (just personal projects), it’s good to know about the support of each toolset going forward. It will allow me to experiment with both without stressing about porting from one to the other.

Thanks,
Glenn

Could you confirm that this state of affairs is still valid? The reason I ask is due to a colleague who recently attended a conference and received a conflicting answer. Perhaps there are some political struggles at play?

Seems like they both would be replaced soon - on ST site in section ‘STM32 Software Development Tools’ they both - TrueSTUDIO and SW4STM32 - are marked as NRND.

Hello everybody,

TrueStudio is effectively obsoleted by ST, as it is replaced by CubeIDE that was released officially a few days ago.

System Workbench for STM32 is still maintained, as it supports chips that are not yet supported by CubeIDE, including all multicore chips (multi M7 and STM32MP1, dual A7+M4). The NRND markup for System Workbench for STM32 was an error and will be suppressed from the ST website.
