Get the maximum out of the STM32 using STM32Snippets

sylviebp — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 07:52:50 GMT

Current Revision posted to Documents by sylviebp on 10/8/2021 7:52:50 AM

STM32Snippets make developers' life easier with a faster route to creating sleek and efficient programs that boost application performance and help meet power and cost targets. STM32Snippets are a completely free collection of highly optimized code examples for STM32 devices.

The code snippets use CMSIS compliant direct register accesses to reduce the code overhead which allows geting the last bit of processing power out of the STM32. At the same time the reduced code complexity and faster execution times allow shorter running periods in low power applications and thus lead to further savings in power consumption.

Today more than 100 code Snippets are available for each of the STM32L0 and F0 series of Mcu to enable the efficient use of the STM32 peripherals.

The snippets can be downloaded immediately, free of charge, and are ready to be used with the corresponding STM32 F0 & L0 discovery kits and the corresponding STM32 Nucleo Boards :

32F0308DISCOVERY NUCLEO-F030R8

32F072BDISCOVERY NUCLEO-F072RB
32L0538DISCOVERY NUCLEO-L053R8

EPROM burner under Linux

Former Member — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 05:12:30 GMT

Current Revision posted to Documents by Former Member on 10/8/2021 5:12:30 AM

Most of our development work is done on Linux (OpenSuse and Kubuntu) computers and it was a nuisance transferring files to a Windows machine for burning ROMs and microcontrollers.

The Galep-5 programmer (Farnell 1417616) uses ethernet over usb for its connection and runs under Windows and Linux.

The Linux installer is available from the manufacturer's web-site: http://www.conitec.net/english/software.php

Installing this on a 64-bit Suse system needed extra 32-bit drivers before it would run properly.

The command line listed the missing dependencies (libgthread, libpng12 and libGLU).

Once these were added (the first two via Yast2, the last one from OpenSuse 'get it' page), the GUI ran.

It did not find the programmer however.

The following fixed that:

linux-ktws:~ # ifconfig usb0 192.168.167.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 up

linux-ktws:~ # route add -host 192.168.167.12 usb0

We now have a working programmer communicating with our Linux workstation.

I will try installing on a Kubuntu computer later.

Hope this is helpful to someone else.

Current Revision posted to Documents by DebuggerGuys on 10/8/2021 4:56:16 AM

The great thing with CodeWarrior development Suites is that you can develop almost in any programming environment out there, even if it's assembly.

In this occasion, I ran into a Reference Manual regarding a StarCore ABI (Application Binary Interface)

This document defines a set of standards to ensure interoperability between conforming CodeWarrior for StarCore software components, such as, compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, and assembly language code. These standards cover run-time aspects as well as object formats to be used by compatible tool chains from StarCore and third-party tools developers.

A benefit of this standard definition is interoperability of conforming tools so that users can select the best tool for each phase of the application development cycle, rather than being constrained to using an entire tool chain. Another benefit is compatibility of conforming libraries. Us programmers can build compatible binary libraries and assembly code libraries and be assured of their continued compatibility over time.

So if you are ready for a new experience at programming (in case binary interfaces are your thing) start along with this Reference Manual!

Why the semiconductor industry will rise again

squadMCU — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 04:46:29 GMT

Current Revision posted to Documents by squadMCU on 10/8/2021 4:46:29 AM

People ask me is there something wrong with the semiconductor industry if apparently good companies with good technologies such as SiliconBlue Technologies Inc. and PicoChip Ltd. are being sold for less than the venture capital invested in them over several years.

I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with the semiconductor industry – but it is in a process of resetting approaches to the market and technology, expectations of investors and transforming itself from something that was just hitching a ride down the escalator of Moore's Law in a race towards the bottom.

What had happened is that many protagonists had got hooked on Moore's Law as a way to get superior performance and reduced unit cost and therefore as a way of making sales by displacing their rivals. This made sense in the past and started in a time when chip companies all made similar building-block components. So, for those chip companies back in the day, the added value was not in the design but in the manufacturing expertise.

Ten Tips For Debugging

squadMCU — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 04:46:11 GMT

Current Revision posted to Documents by squadMCU on 10/8/2021 4:46:11 AM

With increasing complexity of microcontrollers and circuits, debugging is becoming increasingly important. But which diagnosis and debug functions are really needed and what is unnecessary? The following are 10 tips on what to pay attention to when selecting a suitable debug tool.

1. Do not skimp on the debug interface. The debug interface allows monitoring of hardware and software as well as their interaction, and is one of the most important possibilities to test a microcontroller system not only as a black box.

2. Advantages of a trace interface. A trace is always essential whenever the program flow or the change of program data must be completely reconstructed to find the cause of a problem. However, besides that, an additional high-performance interface for code trace and/or data trace is highly recommended.

3. Use special emulation devices. For some of the very high-performance 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers there are special emulation devices, which have been available for a long time, that are 100 percent footprint compatible with the production chip. In addition to the production chip, these emulation devices have also implemented an additional debug logic and trace logic.

4. A picture tells more than a thousand words. To maintain an overview of a modern SoC application, the debug tool should contain a view of the system in various levels of abstraction. Typical examples of this are the graphical representation of data and process variables over time and in relation to each other, function runtimes and program flow.

5. A debugger is far too good to be used only for troubleshooting. Nowadays, modern debuggers are often far more than just an interactive tool for troubleshooting.

6. Software and hardware know-how are equally important. When developing a complex embedded application not only pure hardware or software specialists are required. At least one developer on the team should additionally also be very familiar with hardware-related software and possess appropriate knowledge of on-chip diagnosis capabilities.

7. Consider the complete runtime of the application. The debug interface not only plays an important role during development, but also in the production and diagnosis in the field. Unfortunately, this is still far too seldom taken into account during the application development.

8. Is monitor-based debugging out of date? Even in the age of standardized debug and trace interfaces, monitor-based debugging still continues to have its justification

9. Synchronization of multi-core SoCs. An increasing number of modern SoCs contain two or more microcontroller cores. In this regard, particular attention should be given to on-chip synchronization capabilities.

10. Pay attention to the architecture support. The entire environment of the microcontroller architecture also plays an important role. Admittedly, the latter is difficult to measure. However, if the tools offer support for architecture-specific features, this is usually a reliable indication that the respective tool vendor has in-depth system know-how and that there is a intensive cooperation with the respective MCU manufacturer.

The K60-based B-Notepad offers a portable solution for storage into a SDHC card, so students type notes using the B-Keyboard and review using the B-Display B-Writing Coach is used to capture dictation to the B-Keyboard; the data is sent to the PC using the Tower Wi-Fi module so it can be graded by the teacher. With the B-Reading Coach, the instructor digitalizes text line by line to the PC using a pen scanner, then data is sent wirelessly to the K60 module, instructing a student to read the text shown in the B-Display. The dictation may be stored to SDHC for future educational use. The B-PortableScaner transcribes complete pages at the moment. A UART connection is established from the K60 to the Freescale i.Mx53 (camera connected), commanding to capture an image, then a Linux application performs optical character recognition. The characters are then sent back to the K-60 and shown on the B-Display. B-Twitter is the low-cost/stand-alone application that provides access to Twitter using the GainSpan Wi-Fi module.
