Hi All,
I have the stm3240g-eval board,currently i am working with keil uvision as my IDE + armcc,but i am willing to switch to gcc . My question is ,does anyone have a explantion on how to configure the Eclipse to work with stm32 ? also i thinking using codesourcery or yagarto toolchain . i have the demonstration library that i download from here ,do the peripherals drivers that are inclueded there will work also under gcc? also the startup file whitch one should i use ? as i understant the ''truestudio'' one will be ok? Sorry for the questions , i am a newbie in this area :) #skinflints #gcc-for-cortex-mx2012-12-09 08:22 AM
Personally I've use Yagarto, the RiDE startup, and a cleaned up linker script.
Posted a couple of examples for the STM32F4-Discovery. Library builds fine. Recall running across a couple of Eclipse tutorials doing STM32 on the net.2012-12-10 03:07 AM

''currently i am working with keil uvision as my IDE + armcc, but i am willing to switch to gcc'' Why switch??!
If you have someting that works - why not stick with it?!''how to configure the Eclipse'' Configuring Eclipse is
not
a task for a novice!!''i am a newbie in this area'' All the more reason to stick with what you already have!2012-12-11 03:16 AM

Michael, I guess your wording is a little imprecise:
I have the stm3240g-eval board,currently i am working with keil uvision as my IDE + armcc,but i am willing to switch to gcc .I guess you mean the codesizelimited evaluation version, which would be a good reason to switch. And to agree with others, Coocox is worth a look, especially for beginners.

''I guess you mean the codesize limited evaluation version, which would be a good reason to switch''
But then it doesn't make sense to be trying to get GCC to work with uVision - because the uVision will still be limited!!
For a beginner, you should be able to do plenty of useful work, and gain a lot of necessary experience within the limitations of the Keil ''Lite'' version...2012-12-11 05:22 AM

Yes, one could understand the statements of the original poster this way... But I assume, switching to gcc implies for him also switching to another IDE. The wording in general points to private usage. And I don't know of anyone willing to pay for a full licence just for his hobby. But, as I said, this is an assumption. Guess he should clarify his issue...

Hi,
I managed to get things working,thanks everybody :) btw ,its not for private use,and i must say(even though that i worked with eclipse before),it is a much much better IDE that uvision Thanks2012-12-16 09:48 AM
''But I assume, switching to gcc implies for him also switching to another IDE''
In the cross-post on the Keil forum, he was specifically asking about using uVision with GCC.''I don't know of anyone willing to pay for a full licence just for his hobby''
Funny, that - why are electronics hobbyists (and some engineers) such skinflints?!
People with other hobbies pay amounts comparable to (and in excess of) a Keil licence to pursue their hobbies - eg, sports gear, musical instruments, etc. But that's another discussion...2012-12-16 11:55 PM

I didn't check this forum, and he wasn't too explicit here ...Funny, that - why are electronics hobbyists (and some engineers) such skinflints?!
I meant that Keil uVision4 licence the costs as much as a small car ... I spent more than one order of magnitude less, for a private Crossworks licence ;)
