Vista: works fine.

PS:  now I am transfering some of my projects from 2.x.x library to 3.2.0. And now it seems to me that chm format is not convinient for learning. I belive that pdf will be better for description, and all examples should be stored in separate zip file.

Doing something like method 2 resolve the problem for me.

I cant read the ''stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib_um.chm'' user manual on my computer, Is there any one else who can read it? It's broken or something. I'm using windows 7.

Is this file available in any other format?

Hate bumping an old thread but I was wondering this myself.  I run Linux almost exclusively for much of my development work, and so .CHM (a Microsoft invention) is quite inconvenient.

I'm having a look at whether I can convince chm2pdf to either break it apart to individual HTML files, or to construct a PDF from the file, but so far this file gives both it, and Okular (KDE's document viewer) a major headache.

If I manage to come up with anything I'll let you know, but it'd be nice if ST could release either a plain HTML or PDF version of this document … that, or if I succeed, give me permission to publish the resulting file.

Regards,

Stuart Longland

Well, in a way I've managed to scratch my own itch.  I'm not sure of the legalities of distributing this, ST state in the documentation that it is ''

not covered by a License Agreement

''.  On that basis, I am providing a copy online.  If anyone at ST has an objection, feel free to raise it and I'll revoke public access to this mirror.  It is provided in good faith in the hope it may be useful to others.

This is the aforementioned chm file, extracted out as discrete HTML files.

I would ask that people

do not

use a mirroring tool, we only have a fairly slow 128Kbps uplink, the server is hosted at our home residence using our home ADSL link.  If you want a copy for yourself, use the chm2pdf tool to extract the documentation.

Archives in tar.xz format weigh in at 5.4MB in size, or for zip, 21MB.  For this reason, I'd likely be only distributing the documentation as a tar.xz archive.  Mac users should find a copy of xz decompression tools are widely available, and I'd be surprised if 7-zip couldn't handle it (for you Windows users, but then again there's the original .chm).

Indeed, but it's not a solution if you don't run Windows, and one of my systems (Lemote Yeeloong, which is based on a ST Loongson 2F) will never run Windows.  For users such as myself, a PDF or discrete HTML files, would be much easier to handle, and would avoid this problem for Windows users too.
