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:

more update information.
tried to uninstall SystemWorkbentch from eclipse, and re-install as plugin from “Help”->”Install New Software”. Doesn’t help.

From “Help” -> “About Eclipse” :: “Installation Details” .
find fr.ac6.feature.mcu.externaltools.stlinkserver
installed as Version: 1.0.2.201801120948
under .p2/pool/features/fr.ac6.feature.mcu.externaltools.stlinkserver_1.0.2.201801120948/

But still, from “Debug Configuration” , “Debugger” , “ST-Link Client Setup”,
see the read line of “ST-Link Server not installed on this machine”

Anyone can help?

Hi,

For the session that fails to start, it is because of CDT 9.4.0.
A workaround is to untick the first 2 options in debug configuration (startup tab) about the reset and halt.

For stlinkserver, i don’t know.

Rgds,
Laurent

It is fine when I’m using System Workbench for STM32 on top of CDT 9.4.0.
I don’t remember if I have to tweak some debug options to make it work.
Upgrade CDT to 9.4.2 causing the problem of fail to start debugging, and I can’t find a way to roll back.
Sad.

I think it is since CDT 9.4.2 the issue :
Workaround is to untick the first 2 options in debug configuration (startup tab) about the reset and halt.

I had managed to roll back.
Hack configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
to remove the new updated components.

By doing so the eclipse use CDT 9.4.0 indeed.
Now the system workbench for STM32 works fine to build/debugging.
An interested thing is that I still see the red notes of “ST-Link Server not installed on this machine” from “Debug Configuration” , “Debugger” , “ST-Link Client Setup”, but debugging session started all fine.

Hi Andy Blue,

The STLink Server is an external tool which came with the SystemWorkbentch installer or directly through the st website. It is an application to share the debug interface of a single ST-LINK board among several host applications.

In the case of SytemWorkbench, it also helps you to manage several boards connected to the machine in the debugger tab. It is not an error if you see the red note. It is just an information that you can not use the STLink Server because it is not installed.

BR,
Elliot

Hi Robot,
Thanks for your information.

There is a thing still be little confused. I install the “System Workbench for STM32” from eclipse as an add-on, I did select all components including “ST-Link server”. After installation, while check “Help” -> “About Eclipse”
“Installation details”
“Installed Software”, I can see

STLinkServer 1.0.2.201801120948 fr.ac6.feature.mcu.externaltools.stlinkserver.feature.group STMicroelectronics

But I still see the red notes of “ST-Link server not installed”.
What’s wrong? Do I need separately install ST-Link server from ST?

Reg,
Andy

I would add to the Kevin’s answer that this external tool can be also installed through the System Workbench installer.
