X-ARM

Xcode template for embedded arm cortex-m development.

Supported Microcontrollers

• STM32F446XX

Installation

Install the gcc-arm-embedded compiler:

brew cask install gcc-arm-embedded

Install the arm-none-eabi-llvm compiler and hardware support:

brew tap eblot/armeabi
brew install arm-none-eabi-llvm
brew install armv7em-cortex-m4f

For productive work I recommend tu use STM32CubeMX

Clone the repository or download .zip archive.

Next execute the following command:

python3 package.py

The package.py script installs its files in ~/Library/Developer/ and the corresponding subdirectories.

NOTE: Before using the templates make sure that the X-EDEN.xctoolchain of the X-EDEN Project is installed.

Usage

For all templates choose the X-EDEN toolchain in the Xcode main menu under Toolchains

Start with a new Xcode Project:

• launch Xcode
• create a new project
• under Multiplatform move to X-ARM
• select the STM32CubeMX or STM32CubeLLVM template
• click Next
• enter a project name
• choose your MCU
• click Finish
• choose a directory where to save the project
• click Create

Add STM32CubeMX project tot he previously create Xcode project:

• launch STM32CubeMX
• create a new project with one of the supported microcontrollers
• Save the project insight the previously created Xcode project
• Run the code generation for a makefile project

NOTE: For the STM32CubeLLVM template choose Copy only the necessary library files

Add the generated files to the Xcode project

• Add all generated source files including the make and linker file to the Xcode project
• Add all source files to the Build Phase settings Compile Sources of the Index target
• Build the Index target.

You should now be able to use the Xcode project as usual.

NOTE: The templates have now debugging function. To debug please use st-util in combination with the arm-none-eabi-gdb or lldb

STM32CubeMX Template

This template builds an STM32CubeMX Makefile project

STM32CubeLLVM Template

This template builds an STM32CubeMX Makefile project using the native Xcode llvm toolchain
