Cloning

If you want to use the ST HAL as a submodule then do a recursive clone (--recursive)

If you want to use the HAL installed when using STCubeIDE then modify the CMakeLists.txt file, from

# set(STM32Cube_PATH $ENV{HOME}/STM32Cube/Repository/STM32Cube_FW_H7_V1.11.1)
set(STM32Cube_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Drivers/STM32CubeH7)

to

set(STM32Cube_PATH $ENV{HOME}/STM32Cube/Repository/STM32Cube_FW_H7_V1.11.1)
# set(STM32Cube_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Drivers/STM32CubeH7)

Ths assumes the HAL has been installed at the default location, and is version 1.11.1

Building

The build shell script uses CMake and Ninja. It assumes these are in the current PATH

$ ./build.sh

Flashing the target

st-flash

st-flash write ./Debug/StmTextCMake.elf 0x08000000

OpenOCD

openocd -f interface/stlink.cfg -f target/stm32h7x.cfg -c "program ./Debug/StmTextCMake.elf reset exit"

st-util/gdb

• Launch st-util in a terminal window. This command will start the st-util server:

$ st-util

• Open another terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the binary file you want to flash.
• Use arm-none-eabi-gdb to connect to the st-util server and flash your binary. Here's an example command:

arm-none-eabi-gdb ./Debug/StmTextCMake.elf

• In the arm-none-eabi-gdb prompt, connect to the server with the following command:

target extended-remote :4242

• Load the binary file and flash it to the board:

(gdb) load
Loading section .isr_vector, size 0x2cc lma 0x8000000
Loading section .text, size 0xa7644 lma 0x80002d0
Loading section .rodata, size 0x31920 lma 0x80a7920

Loading section .data, size 0x254 lma 0x80e71e8
Start address 0x08075304, load size 947244
Transfer rate: 37 KB/sec, 14800 bytes/write.
(gdb) 

• This will flash the target; you should see (in the st-util window) something similar to:

• You can use other GDB commands to debug or monitor the execution of your firmware. To run the program, in the GDB window type:

(gdb) c

Please note that the exact commands might vary slightly depending on your specific setup and the file you are trying to flash. Ensure that the paths and filenames provided are accurate.

Always refer to the official documentation for st-util and the STM32H735 for the most up-to-date information.
