Hi Afi,

Download ''Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers von

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

1. Unpack it and start it.
2. Click Help → Install new Software

3. Add…

   http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/galileo

   ( Eclipse C/C++ GDB Hardware Debugging, Eclipse C/C++ Memory View Enhancements)
4. Uncheck ''Group items by category'' (Otherwise you will see not all options)
5. Install GNU ARM C/C++ Development Support
6. Restart eclipse
7. Install a GCC cross compiler, i.e the one from CodeSourcery http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains/arm/download.html
8. If you use the Amontec JTAG adapter, install OpenOCD (at least 0.4.0)

To set up a new project using the ST firmware library:

1. Create a new App: File→New C Project → ARM Cross Target Application
2. Under C/C++ Build → Settings, „All configurations“ select
   1. Behaviour → Use parallel Build (4, or optimal)
   2. C Preprocessor → Defined Symbols: DEBUG

   3. C Compiler → Directories:

      ../fwlib, ../fwlib/inc (Or wherever the fwlib is)
      

   4. Miscellaneous → Lang. Standard GNU 99
   5. Linker → General → Script File

      ../fwlib/stm32f10x_hd.ld (or where your linker script is located)
      

For debugging:

1. Click Run → Debug Configurations..
2. Double click GDB Hardware Debugging
3. Name: OpenOCD
4. Main: project / application
5. Debugger → GDB Command →

   C:\codesourcery\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe (or where the gdb is located)

6. Port-Number 3333
7. Common → Display in favorites menu
8. If you encounter difficulties resetting the target, add the command ''

   monitor reset init'' in the startup action of the debugger.

Personally, I prefer the Zylin plugin. The builtin support seems just poor IMO.

Also I use Helios.

Hi Carste,

thanks for intensive manual. I will try these steps in few days. However, now I need to chose a wright JTAG emulator, because ulink is not supported by OpenOCD. Any suggestions? The Amontec JTAGkey2 costs 115 euro: http://www.amontec.com/jtagkey2.shtml Is there any other JTAG emulator with lower cost? Thanks in advance. Afi

Hello, I wrote a small guide here:

http://chibios.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=chibios:guides:eclipse1

The project also contains startup files, linker scripts and demos for the STM32. Giovanni
