INSTALLING AMAZON RTOS NUCLEO STM32 SOFTWARE
VirtualBox is a free virtualization software you can use to do experiments with STM32 platform. I advise against using a development/production PC you use for work. Warning: I strongly suggest you to use a virtual machine to do all experiments.
INSTALLING AMAZON RTOS NUCLEO STM32 UPDATE
Java 7 update 71 or later - please, ensure you have the latest Java 7 version before you start installing other software (you can download it from this page) don't say I didn't warn you.
An STM32Nucelo development board (the specific model is not relevant) - I'll base the examples on my board, STM32Nucleo-F401RE.Windows XP SP3 32bit (the whole series is based on XP, but I think that Vista and 7 are also fine - for a 64bit platform, choose the corresponding package).The minimum system and hardware requirements of this series are: We'll use the cross-compiler version for ARM-Cortex platform. This means that we can use one of the best compiler (or, probably, the best) available for free. GCC for ARM-Cortex: STM32 is a family of microcontrollers with an ARM-Cortex core (M0, M3, M4, etc).We'll use the latest stable version: 4.4 (called Luna). Eclipse: it's a popular free and OpenSource IDE, widely used in the Java world, but also available for C/C++ programming.To setup the tool-chain we'll use these two fundamental tools: I'll not show you too many details at once (but I assume that you know C language and fundamentals of MCU programming). At the end of this first post we'll be able to compile an example program for the Nucleo (a simple blinking LED - the " hello world" in electronics) and to upload it on our board using ST-Link Utility from ST.
INSTALLING AMAZON RTOS NUCLEO STM32 HOW TO
In this series, made of three parts, I want to share how to setup a tool-chain for STM32 platform. I spent more than two weekends to setup a working environment to code, compile, flash and debug applications on my STM32Nucleo board, doing several errors before obtaining a fully working environment. The bad one is the it's not simple or fast to setup-up a working tool-chain. The good news is that you don't need a 5.000 dollars IDE: Eclipse and GCC is all you need (plus some other tools that we'll see in the next parts of this series). And this is a great problem if you want simply to experiment with a low-cost platform like Nucleo (it costs less than €15). ST provides official support (with documentation and examples) only for commercial IDE like IAR. You also need an IDE (not strictly needed, but really useful) and a compiler suite. However STM32Cube is not sufficient to start developing with your Nucleo board.

STM32 is a really powerful yet complex platform, and the learning curve of this microcontroller can be really high compared to a simpler platform like the Atmel AVR (Arduino is nothing more than a huge boilerplate of code around AVR family). ST provides an official framework, called STM32Cube, born to speed up the development process on this platform. There are a lot of tutorials and guides around about how to start programming with the STM32 platform. However this is true in theory, since the most important aspect of Arduino's world is the software (based on libraries, examples, and so on) made for this popular platform. This means that it's possible to use the hundreds of shields available for the Arduino. It's a development board based on the STM32 MCU and it is compatible with the Arduino UNO pinout. I recently got in my hands a new development board from STMicroelectronics: STM32Nucleo. In the free book sample you can find the whole complete procedure better explained. So, I started writing a book about the STM32 platform. Thanks to the feedbacks I have received, I reached to the conclusion that it's really hard to cover a topic like this one in the room of a blog post.
