Latest update

In this new setup I have included all the necessary files to program the IOToggle program to the stm32F4 Discovery board. Also added links to other examples and updated instructions to get things working

What are we using

This setup is based on the STM32F4xx_StdPeriph_Driver as well as the excellent Linux port of STLink by Texane

How to get setup on Linux or Mac:

1. Download GCC-ARM for your system from here https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+download
2. Setup the path on your computer to the location of the downloaded GCC-ARM
3. Clone this directory to your computer
4. Clone the STLink program from the link above into a directory of your choosing
5. Follow the instructions on the STLink github to compile the program
6. Add the STLink directory to your path
7. cd into IOToggle
8. run "make"
9. Plug in your discovery board via the mini-usb connector and run "make burn"
10. Voila! Your Discovery board will now be running the simple IOToggle program.

How to get setup on Windows:

1. Download GCC-ARM for your system from here here
2. Setup the path on your computer to the location of the downloaded GCC-ARM
3. Download the Make Binaries for your computer from here
4. Setup the path on your computer to the location of the download Make binaries. (Note you can also put these in the same directory as GCC-ARM)
5. Download the STLink program binaries from here
6. Do the same as step 5 except for the STLink binaries.
7. Clone this directory to your computer
8. cd into IOToggle and run "make"
9. Plug in your discovery board via the mini-usb connector and run "make burn"
10. Viola! Your Discovery board will now be running the simple IOToggle program.

Other examples

There are some GPIO and USART examples here. Note the makefile for these will not work yet, I'm going to be modifying it.

Git How To

Please see the GitCommands.markdown file for basics on how to use git for this project.

Directory Structure

• Examples: Contains examples from ST for the Discovery board.
• IOToggle: One specific example with a working makefile.
• Libraries: Contains the STM Standard Periphial libraries we are using.
• MotorController: Code for the Motor Controller boards, to be compiled with the Arduino IDE currently.
• Demo: The demo code initinally on the Discovery board. Makefile needs to be modified to work.
• mainboard_old: Old code from previous years being made to work with a makefile. Still lots of work to do on this.

Tasks for the hardware programming team

• write your own programs for the discovery board
• enable serial communication from the discovery board
• talk to ATTinys
