Successfully Built Blinky in Eclipse Luna and Linux on STM32F429I-Disco
Thank you very much ... always good to know what works 
... at the moment my problem is that I only get a Debug version but no Release version. Guess I’ll have to set the Release stuff by hand later ... got my own blinky working ... try to get the LCD working, but I find that they have done the same bad thing I always find - combined everything with everything ... The LCD needs the DMA and the memory controller (I only wanted to send some color patterns, but noooo ... you need the whole enchilada including fonts and SPI(OK, that’s clear) and so on) ...
So at the moment I always have 20 missing symbols ... I add files and have another 20 missing symbols. I only wanted to send some data to the LCD but it is all interconnected. And everything you add has to be initialized, can’t just add the SDRAM because that’s just what the compiler wants. The problem with this is that instead of a nice small litte test I will end up with an incredible behemoth of a program which will be a pig to debug ... not what I wanted to achieve. Modularity only on first glance. Of course I could go and cut the ties of that stuff but that’s exactly what I should not do ... manually change the underlying lib files. It should be a platform which I build upon - not tweak ...
The other thing buging me right now is to find out what is included in the compilation and what is visible from where. I find it annoying that Eclipse builds its own resource tree which looks like the file system but you can’t just add a file to a directory and it shows up in that tree (not even after refresh) ... so you import stuff from the file system into that Eclipse tree. But of course this logic is not used where you specify the incluse directories of the build ... there you give real file paths ... but there again visibility from one file to the next is not the same. I believe that there should be a single logic over all and frankly I don’t see why the file system couldn’b be that logic - as it used to be for decades. People seem to think that added abstraction layers is per definition a good thing. But they may also become obfuscation layers in my opinion.
Yeah, sorry again, this STM stuff brings out the worst in me, I’m afraid ...
Thank you again for writing what you did to get going.
