Struggling to use Atollic TrueStudio v9.0.1

jpnbino

Hey there,

 

I've recently purchased a STM32F4DISC board and I'm having trouble to use the TrueStudio. I feel that is not enough documentation out there. Does anyone recommend it or can point to another tool?

I gave a try to Truestudio because its free ( fully- featured)

 

Oh, also, I haven't understood yet the folder structure so I can make a proper .gitignore file.

 

any help appreciated,

 

thanks

 

Edit:  I already used MDK and IAR to run some codes and I didn't have problems with them, they were pretty straight forward. It happens that both tools are limited and as David pointed out in the comments the TrueStudio was purchased by ST and made it all for FREE. Also, TrueStudio runs with GCC compiler and integrates with git, therefore I considered to use it for my projects, but it seems lack in proper documentation about itself ( I even haven't been able to program my target without debugging and it seems to run slow to compiler or navigate). I guess there is some configuration out there to make my experience more fluid.

 

Note1: My PC is a core-i5 7th gen, 8GB RAM DDR4

Note2: About run slow, I had been working with Cypress PoC Creator and MPLABX succesfully.

    I have been UNFORTUNATELY using Atollic since a few months ago. Before then I had used mostly IAR for ARM. I can tell you that while IAR or Kail GUI look outdated , their debugger is perfect. Atollic, in contrast, is based on GDB Debugger, and is an absolute CRAP. Nightmare...It is really a wasting time. If i were you I would buy a NUCLEO with Cortex L0+ of ST, like STM32L071, if there is a such and just use a free MDK. Otherwise, if you need M4 and not M0, consider using Embedded Studio of Segger. It is free for Education needs.

    Good luck!

    I'm writing to update that yesterday I tried Segger's Ozone Debugger and it worked very well for me, in contrast with the GDB Debugger of Atollic. For example, with compiler optimization on, GDB Debugger works absolutely improperly and one can take wrong decisions accordingly. The same optimized code worked properly for me with Ozone.
