Install your embedded tools in linux or windows the right way and trough command line. Set-Up and advance and flexible development playground with our modern series of guided tutorials, gcc, gdb, openocd, doxygen, python and more
The template-g0 project uses a makefile to compile and link out of the box, it is not limited to build the project, also comes with several extra targets that helps you to run some others tasks like flashing or linting the project
Boost your coding efficiency in VS Code with the IntelliSense plugin for C/C++. By pressing Ctrl + Click, you can easily navigate to definitions and declarations. Install the C/C++ IntelliSense extension to enhance your coding experience and streamline your workflow in VS Code.
Enhance your microcontroller development with the VSCode Cortex-Debug plugin. This powerful tool provides seamless debugging support for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, allowing you to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through code directly in VS Code for efficient, real-time debugging
There is one way to use function printf with our microcontroller even though if we do not have a screen to display information, well we do. we can use our debugger and OpenOCD
You know that for many of the projects we post, we use the fairly simple STM32G0B1RE Nucleo board, and we prepare a template that easily compiles its respective HAL library. However, we understand that not everyone has the same board model. Fear not!
Learn how to use Cppcheck for MISRA compliance in C/C++ programming. This article covers how to configure Cppcheck to check for MISRA rules, ensuring safer, more reliable code. Improve code quality, maintainability, and meet industry standards with automated static analysis using Cppcheck
There is an interesting option to extract the same documentation from the comments source code, and it is called Doxygen, This program will extract certain comments formatted with tokens, and then it will place those comments in an HTML format.
In the past, debugging embedded systems was challenging, with printf and semihosting as common solutions, though slow. RTT (Real-Time Transfer), a feature of the J-Link debugger, provides a faster, more reliable way to send real-time data from the target device to the host
Segger SystemView is a powerful tool for embedded development, allowing real-time program visualization without expensive probes. It’s easy to use, flexible, and perfect for complex systems with multiple threads and interrupts. Lets see how to instrument your code to be tracked by SystemView.
Just to be clear, Windows for any software development SUCKS!!!!!, the following guide present a good alternative since allow us to use many of the feature presented in Linux, with certain limitation but at the end of the day much better than using Windows
I try to avoid Windows, but some tools, especially in the automotive industry, require it. While dual booting is inconvenient and WSL has limitations, virtualization with KVM and QEMU on Linux provides the best solution without compromising my Linux workflow.
Do yourself a favor and start working with SSH connections, especially if you do Git and remote repos, this is a little guide of how to setup your ssh keys to later add to your Bitbucker repo, but the same procedure apply to GitHub or Gitlab.
I'm going to show you how to use Eclipse only for debugging purposes. Maybe you don’t like VSCode and therefore can’t use the Cortex-Debug plugin, and if you don’t have a J-Link, then Ozone is out of the equation.
If you find Eclipse or VS Code too complex, can't afford Lautherbac, or iSystems, or prefer not to debug via the command line, gdbgui is a great alternative. It’s a web-based visual frontend for GDB, offering an easy way to control GDB. Just install make, gcc, gdb, arm-none-eabi-gdb, and openocd.
