Crossworks projects startup and debugging

Posted Thu, 17/12/2009 - 05:20 by peteh

Crossworks or, more accurately, CrossStudio for the Arm, running on a mac is probably one of the better development environments. It has its quirky side but, so far, I am really happy with it. Now might be a good time to look at how projects are organised, how the code gets onto the target and how it is started up…

stm32-chip

The whole ARM processor core thing is really attractive. Here is a widespread, powerful core available in a whole bunch of packages and processor combinations from a range of suppliers. Then there came the Cortex-M3 version. More interesting still is the ST processor series known as the STM32. These really are interesting. they are cheap, readily available, fast, have a peripheral set that could be made for the kind of tasks I am most interested in and you can get free or low cost development tools…

STM32 and the Segger/IAR J-Link

segger_j_link I finally got a day to play with some of my new toys. These are the IAR STM32-SK and the IAR J-Link debugger.The IAR J-Link is a re-badges Segger unit and I believe they are identical. I was quite excited about having a real debugger to use. - especially as programming the STM32 through the bootloader is a bit of a fiddle. Things didn't turn out quite as I had hoped...
