STM32CUBE integrated in the workflow ?

[BenOve]

In my view the program STM32CUBE is just as important as the entire development system.
My question is if you can integrate it into the workflow and give some example files and tutorials
to help all your users getting up and running quickly with this spectacular utility

Thanks and best regards
BO

Yes, I am entirely in right with you
I already proposed a simple process to do that. Just the base but save lot of time after in MikroC :
viewtopic.php?f=178&t=69068

I don't understand why this tool is not present

Thanks Lionel !

The STM32CUBE comes with thousands of examples,
I just downloaded and expand everything, CUBE_F1,.....CUBE_F7
and it took 10 GB in 168658 files on the HDD

I also made a search to see what other ARM compilers are up to,
and I found that atollic just released a new compiler that can translate and import all these examples
into their True Studio

http://blog.atollic.com/how-to-import-t ... truestudio

Would this be a good suggestion for the mikroC PRO ARM Wish List:
The ability to translate and import all these CUBE examples ?

As atollic is doing it, it obviously must be a need for it.
Simplifying configuration is super important -

I really can't overview how well it might fit into Mikroe
Looking forward to further comments

Best regards

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion, you can post it here:

Hi

I don't know enough yet to post a suggestion.
The EasyMX boards are great but a few chip pins are not connected.
That's often the pins that are used for special tasks I guess, programmed with QUBE

But again, I am not sure . Can anybody go deeper into this ?

There are a number of advantages to use the ST Discovery boards and they are defined in QUBE,
But not a single Discovery board can meet the super connectivity of the EasyMX boards
and not a single Discovery board has as many connections as EasyMX

Suggestion:
Maybe Mikroe can have EasyMX STM32 defined in CUBE . That would simplify and it would be a great first step.

Best regards
BO

Hi,

Suggestions regarding STM32Cube
were forwarded to our developers for consideration.

Why not just use Atollic TrueStudio since it is FREE.

[BenOve]

There are missing pins on chip that might be needed sometimes.
Would it be an idea to add a pin header just like my image shows?
That would be a very easy hardware fix that gives the total freedom to use
every feature of the chip.

Regarding the posting about the Atollic compiler:

The Mikroe Compiler is NOT overpriced

Atollic is 10 x more expensive but it is the next professional step
and it is worth every cent indeed.

I am grateful to have more than one tool in the toolbox
I think that Mikroe could easily take some further steps into deep integration with ST and CUBE
just like Atollic is offering.

The EasyMX boards from Mikroe are outstanding - nothing that I have found so far comes close

[rmteo]

The Atollic IDE and compiler is completely free. The PRO version (which includes far more features than you will ever find or need) is what you pay for. Same with Segger, Keil, etc.

Hi
I do agree that Atollic might be the best ARM development platform on the planet.
The free version has unlimited code size.
But I pay for the pro version to get their excellent support.

But the Mikroe compilers have the powerful advantage that you can handle so many processor types with the same code,
and the EasyMX cards are in my view the best on the market.

The CUBE is a spectacular tool.
I have to admit that there is much work ahead to make these tools productive.

Just great tools, all of them.....

All third party developments systems do this, even more so.

Are there any examples how to use STM32F429 Discovery kit ?
I am looking for how to use Timer1 with external clock
and exact reset of timer probably over input pin and interrupt

An incremental encoder give 1024 count up pulses and once per revolution
the counter shall be reset

The Mikroe programmer indentifies the STM32F429 Discovery kit as STM32 F4
It seems that it is supported

[lana.arsic]

Hi,

Yes, mikroProg for STM32 supports STM32F429.
Regarding Timer 1 with external clock, you may find this project useful:

https://libstock.mikroe.com/projects/vi ... m32-timers

Also, regarding STM32F429 Discovery you can find some projects on our Libstock website.

Kind regards,

I know this thread is old now, but can I use st-link to program the easy mix pro board or do I still need to use mikroprog for this? If so, does anyone have the command line to run the programmer from true studio

Cheers
Paul

Hello,

EasyMx PRO board already has mikroProg, so you only need to set St-Link in mikroProg Suite.
Also, you can use an external programmer (St-Link) to program this board.

Regarding the command line options for mikroPROG, you can find them in Help Section under the mikroC PRO for ARM Command Line Options.

Kind regards,
Jovana
