Prerequisites

• CMake
• ARM GNU GCC Tools
• MinGW

Build the project (Manual)

• Create a build folder (ex. cmake-build-debug) and cd to that folder

• Run cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../arm-none-eabi-gcc.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

• Then, run cmake --build . -- -j 4

• You should obtain .bin and .hex files for your target

Run project

• Use STM32CubeProgrammer to program the device.

Build the project (with CLion)

• Open the folder containing CMakeLists.txt and *.cmake file with CLion.
• In File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment section, add the following to CMake options field: -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=arm-none-eabi-gcc.cmake
• CLion should reload the CMake project without any errors.

Debug using OpenOCD and CLion

• Create a new run configuration (Run -> Edit Configurations)
• Add a new OpenOCD Download & Run configuration
• In the board config file field, supply the appropriate configuration file. Ex. https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd/blob/master/tcl/board/st_nucleo_f4.cfg
• Also make sure to fill the Executable field ex. template.out file in the build folder
• Pressing the Run button should now flash the target
• To debug, place a breakpoint and click on the green bug (debug) icon. The debugger should stop at the breakpoint
