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


Project>Properties>C/C++ Build>Settings hang

OS: Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS (Also on Debian 9 RC2)
Eclipse Neon.2 (4.6.2)
ac6 versions varying from 1.11 to 1.13
System Workbench for STM32 - C/C++ Embedded Development Tools for MCU
Version: 1.13.1.201701200843
Board - STM32F746G_DISCOVERY
STM32CubeMX - 4.19.0
HAL library version 1.6.0

I have created a project using MX with board selection and all other configuration default.
Save the project and open with eclipse.
Build - OK
Debug - Startts, seems like it hangs in SystemClock_Config() (openocd indicates it hit a bnreakpoint, but there is not one there.
Try to step through code. Jumps around from line to line - possibly due to level of compiler optimization.
Try to modify compiler settings. Eclipse hangs at this tab. ‘top’ reports one thread running jave using 100% CPU. At this point eclipse has reached a stable state. The only way to exit this is to kill the java thread.

This problem is 100% repeatable. Same result on a different PC running Debian/Stretch.

Any suggestions to resolve are most welcome. Thanks!

Edit: This is not a total hang after all. If I wait long enough the dialog finally responds. Once open I can go from setting to setting without any noticeable delay. Closing and reopening the dialog takes a couple minutes.

Hi,

This is a known bug of Eclipse on Ubuntu-16.04 and other recent Linux distributions; please look at this FAQ entryQuestion
