Yeah, sorry, I ran out of spare time. How do I contact you? Are you following the OpenOCD mailing list? I can submit the patch ''as-is'' there, for discussion. Probably wont happen today though.

Incidentally I have also written a more or less functional gdb stub for cortex-m3, which you asked for in another thread. :) /Andreas Fritiofson (first name.last name at gmail)

andreas1,

Sounds interesting, if you submit a patch we will look into it. the best place for patches etc is

mailto:openocd-development@lists.berlios.de

Cheers sjo

Hello

I am following up on the post from andreas1. I would be interested in pushing this work through to a working OpenOCD solution for SWJ-DP on the Cortex-M3. Please contact me and we can discuss. Thanks Tim

For those interested in a free tool that runs on Linux check my web site.

It is based on the codesourcery code which may have the STM32 bug. You need to not use the high optimization mode. I have not tested to see if that is the case as the bug report just came out a few weeks ago. I am still working on getting eclipse and codeblocks debugging interfaces to arm-elf-gdb to work. I have no major issues with setedit so far. I have a newer version that is not based on the codesourcery source and that works for the SMT32. I will put it up in a few weeks. I will have STM32 demos with it. Right now I have binaries for Mandriva, SuSE and Fedora 8. I will eventually have binaries for Ubuntu 8.10 http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal/ If you want to personally discuss the subject take my name at the end and add the comcast and net parts with @ My goal is to provide a completely free set of tools for Linux and help is welcomed. I don't care if you download and never say anything but it would be nice if I get a note when you think there is a bug or you appreciate the code.

Hi guys- Daniele Caltabiano has a working Open Source package for STM32 based on Yagarto Eclipse environment with Zylin/CDT, Anglia sarm toolchain (Codesourcery), and OpenOCD for parallel port wiggler. It takes time to set up (see the pdf on the website) but it works!

For those interested in a free tool set that runs on Linux check my web site. My code uses GNU code. I have code from the latest release of gcc as well as a recent SVN version. Cortex-m3 is supported, this includes the STM32 devices. If you wish to create your own binaries this is possible since I provide the RPM and debian source code that I use.

I have 32 bits binaries for Fedora 9 and Ubuntu 8.10. I have 64 binaries for Mandriva 2009.0. The RPM binaries could be used with just about any recent RPM based systems. The ubuntu binaries could be used with just about any Debian based systems. I also provide documentation on how to create projects and debug with eclipse using Fedora 9. I provide eclipse plugins for this. I am working on a document that explains how to do it on Ubuntu 8.10. http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal/ Michel

Hi friends,

There is a coming release for a Free development environment for STM32 based on Eclipse and GCC and debugging with ST-LINK. http://www.atollic.com/index.php/download Cheers, STOne-32.

Just to make a pedantic point, there is no reason why you cannot sell open source tools - hardware or software. In fact many people see open source as just a reason to get things for free, but if you use open source tools and like them, then pay the developer even if it's only a few quid/Euros/Dollars as applicable. If you don't pay them, that support might go away. This is a great thread and fantastic to see some enthusiastic open source advocates here. I m not clear whether the OP is running his tools on Linux or Windows. I am running Linux and from a pragmatic point of view I am using one of these tools that use the gcc, but has a proprietary IDE because Eclipse is big fat bloaty piece of software. As far as I can see, all the open source tools are using Eclipse as their framework which is a shame. I would use Eclipse based tools only as a last resort and rather pay [more] for a faster, lighter IDE. Another thing I like is ease of install and use with the toolchain I use, including support of all ARM tools, not just ST's and seamless USB JTAG support. I do like Codesourcery as a concept though and they are very good at support. When my workload is a little lighter I would love to help with getting open source tools going, especially having JTAG debuggers work well. Cheers!

Hi,

I use the Codesourcery command line toolset on Linux. Getting the toolchain up and running was a bit of a pain, but this was 6 months ago or so. For interacting with the uart based bootloader (AN2606) I wrote sloadhost-stm32. It's at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sloadhost/

Very command line oriented. It works pretty stably here. Cheers, Alex
