This firmware template is designed for development boards based around [STM32 F1 series micro-controller](http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/mmc/FM141/SC1169/SS1031). project ======= summary ------- *describe project purpose* technology ---------- *described electronic details* board ===== The current implementation uses a [core board](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx#core_board). The underlying template also supports following board: - [Maple Mini](http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple-mini.html), based on a STM32F103CBT6 - [System Board](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx#system_board), based on a STM32F103C8T6 - [blue pill](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx#blue_pill), based on a STM32F103C8T6 - [black pill](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx#black_pill), based on a STM32F103C8T6 - [core board](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=stm32f1xx#core_board), based on a STM32F103C8T6 - [ST-LINK V2 mini](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=jtag#mini_st-link_v2), a ST-LINK/V2 clone based on a STM32F101C8T6 - [USB-Blaster](https://wiki.cuvoodoo.info/doku.php?id=jtag#armjishu_usb-blaster), an Altera USB-Blaster clone based on a STM32F101C8T6 **Which board is used is defined in the Makefile**. This is required to map the user LED and button provided on the board The ST-LINK V2 mini clone has SWD test points on the board. Because read protection is enabled, you will first need to remove the protection to be able to flash the firmware. To remove the read protection (and erase flash), run `rake remove_protection` while a SWD adapter is connected. The Altera USB-Blaster clone has a pin header for SWD and UART1 on the board. SWD is disabled in the main firmware, and it has read protection. To be able to flash using SWD (or the serial port), the BOOT0 pin must be set to 1 to boot the system memory install of the flash memory. To set BOOT0 to 1, apply 3.3 V on R11, between the resistor and the reference designator, when powering the device. The red LED should stay off while the green LED is on. Now you can remove the read protection (and erase flash), run `rake remove_protection` while a SWD adapter is connected. connections =========== Connect the peripherals the following way (STM32F10X signal; STM32F10X pin; peripheral pin; peripheral signal; comment): - *list board to peripheral pin connections* All pins are configured using `define`s in the corresponding source code. code ==== dependencies ------------ The source code uses the [libopencm3](http://libopencm3.org/) library. The projects is already a git submodules. It will be initialized when compiling the firmware. Alternatively you can run once: `git submodule init` and `git submodule update`. firmware -------- To compile the firmware run `rake`. documentation ------------- To generate doxygen documentation run `rake doc`. flash ----- There are two firmware images: `bootloader` and `application`. The `bootloader` image allows to flash the `application` over USB using the DFU protocol. The `bootloader` is started first and immediately jumps to the `application` if it is valid and the DFU mode is not forced (i.e. by pressing the user button on the board or requesting a DFU detach in the `application`). The `application` image is the main application and is implemented in `application.c`. It is up to the application to advertise USB DFU support (i.e. as does the provided USB CDC ACM example). The `bootloader` image will be flashed using SWD (Serial Wire Debug). For that you need an SWD adapter. The `Makefile` uses a ST-Link V2 programmer along OpenOCD software (default), or Black Magic Probe. To flash the `booltoader` using SWD run `rake flash_booloader`. If the development board uses the CKS32 chip STM32 alternative, use `CPUTAPID=0x2ba01477 rake flash_booloader`. Once the `bootloader` is flashed it is possible to flash the `application` over USB using the DFU protocol by running `rake flash`. To force the bootloader to start the DFU mode press the user button or short a pin, depending on the board. It is also possible to flash the `application` image using SWD by running `rake flash_application`. debug ----- SWD also allows to debug the code running on the micro-controller using GDB. To start the debugging session run `rake debug`. USB --- The firmware offers serial communication over USART1 and USB (using the CDC ACM device class).
