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


Cannot find all items when installing from Eclipse

Hello there,
I am using Eclipse Luna 2 (4.4.2) with windows 7. I am trying to donwload and install the package from help->install new Software... menu. The problem is that the instalation ends with error:


An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.cpp, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.cdt.debug.gdbjtag,7.0.0.201502131403

No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.emf.emfstore.common,1.4.1.v20150218-0800



I would apreciate all help regarding this, I can provide more info if needed.

Hi,

Could you try to install using one of the executables: install_sw4stm32_win_64bits-latest.exe or for 32 bits machines install_sw4stm32_win_32bits-v1.2.exe
Choose the correct version for your macine. I installed on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bits without problems.

Don’t forget to update the System Workbench after installation (go to “Help >> Search for Updates...”)

This will install the IDE, toolchain and debugger.

I hope this help !


Hello,
So this will install a separate eclipse with everything that is needed?

Hi,

Yes, this will install a separate Eclipse. On my system is installed on C:\Ac6\SystemWorkbench. Take a look to the attached screen-shoot.

Then you have few ways to create a project. I use to generate the project from STM32 Cube, then import the project on System Workbench then build and download/debug. STM32 Cube is a graphical configuration tool used to generate initialization code for the micro-controller - clock initialization, GPIO initialization and peripherals initialization. I think this is the easiest way to start with Cortex-M mcu’s.
You can find more about STM32Cube at this link: http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC961/SS1533/PF259242?sc=stm32cubeQuestion

To import generated files in System Workbench, follow exactly what is described in this page (OpenSTM32 Community Site » Documentation » System Workbench for STM32 » User Guide » Importing a STCubeMX generated project):
http://www.openstm32.org/Importing+a+STCubeMX+generated+projectQuestion

I have successfully build and debug simple projects on two boards from ST using System Workbench:
- NUCLEO-L152RE: http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN1847/PF260002?icmp=nucleo-ipf_pron_pr-nucleo_feb2014&sc=nucleoL152RE-prQuestion
- STM32F3Discovery: http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/PF254044Question

Good luck!


Thank you for help. I have installed the workbench and it work Ok. However, I have lots of addons installed in eclipse and I would have to copy them to the workbench. Also, I cant use the same workspace in two applications at the same time. Do you know maybe why cant i install the workbench addon for eclipse? Is there a way for me to download the addon as zip and install it from zip?

I don’t know for the zip package, but from what I have seen should be possible to install the System Workbench for STM32 from Eclipse. I don’t know if you follow the steps described in the documentation (OpenSTM32 Community Site » Documentation » System Workbench for STM32 » Installing System Workbench for STM32).
If you already try this way then ignore this post - if this is the case I can not answer why is not possible to install the addon System Workbench.

The address containing the installation site is here: http://www.ac6-tools.com/Eclipse-updates/org.openstm32.system-workbench.siteQuestion
You can try to add this site to Eclipse updates (if you already didn’t try it) and check the instructions form here: http://www.openstm32.org/Installing+System+Workbench+for+STM32+from+EclipseQuestion

I did’t try to install System Workbench this way.


I have installed a new instance of eclipse and tried there- it worked out. No idea why it didnt in my current one. Thank you for help.
