Visual TFT support for STM32 Mikroe Development Tools

[marko.ziv]

** IMPORTANT **
This note applies ONLY to Visual TFT v2.30. ARM STM32 family of MCU
and all development boards are fully supported from Visual TFT v2.70

Here is a small update to Visual TFT that enables support for Mikroelektronika's
STM32 Development tools:
- EasyMx PRO™ v7 for STM32 ARM®
- Mikromedia for STM32 M3
- Mikromedia for STM32 M4

All you need to do is to download attachment from this sticky and follow few simple steps:
- Unpack two files located in the attachment (Controllers.xml and Boards.xml)
- Before copying them to your Visual TFT installation folder, backup of these two files is recommended (if you have created your custom board definitions)
- Copy/Paste both of them to Board Defs folder of your Visual TFT installation

Code: Select all

\Mikroelektronika\Visual TFT\Board Defs\

And that is all!

When working with STM32 development boards keep in mind that it is advised to check Preset Calibration in your Visual TFT project
Visual TFT -> Settings -> Project Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Touch Panel and check "Preset" in Calibration field at the bottom.

Also, to achieve appropriate MCU clock speeds load existing schemes (already located in the compiler)
ARM compiler -> Project -> Edit Project -> Load Scheme
