stm32l beginner questions

Hello,

I've recently bought a stm32l-discovery board and I want to start developing for the onboad processor. I  have some previous experience with 8bit atmel microcontrollers but not with (32bit) ARM processors.

I would like to start extremely simple, just some I/O port code to understand the basics. (32bit version of PORTD |= 0x01 etc.).

Does anybody know any (good) tutorial so that I can learn these most basics of basics?

I'm using IAR EWARM 6.30.

Thanks in advance, 

Luc

Try looking in the examples folder, which your version of IAR presumably holds

\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.4 Kickstart\arm\examples\ST\STM32L1xx\STM32L1xx_StdPeriph_Lib\Project\STM32L1xx_StdPeriph_Examples

The examples for the STM32F1xx are also worth looking over, although the pin configuration is a bit different.

For a good introduction to the Cortex-M3, I'd strongly recommend taking a look at Joseph Yiu's Definitive Guide

http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-ARM-Cortex-M3-Second/dp/185617963X/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

A through reading of the ST and ARM manuals is also strongly recommended, and would generally view it as a prerequisite to taking on a new architecture.

Found the examples, will try to understand them.

I'll see if I can order the book asap

Thank you for the reply
