Trying to build: RT-STM32F429-DISCOVERY Example project

[jbsull]

Hello,

I have just setup a new installation of   ChibiStudio.

Using the demo project:  STM32F429i-Discovery, ChibiOS 1.0

I get part of the project to build, but It doesn't seem to be building the ugfx.

I changes the directory in the makefile  (GFXLIB) , but possibly I should have changed it somewhere else ?

Hey there!

This sounds like a simple encoding/file_format issue. What system are you working on? On unix this might be a simple repository format issue that can be fixed with something like dos2unix. Any additional information that you can provide might help here.

[jbsull]

Hi Joel,

I am on a win7 machine.

Sorry for the trouble...

Jim

[jbsull]

Hi Joel,

Figured it out !

The directory path had a directory with a ' in it (C:\Clients\EPD\SBC's\Graphics\ugfx_chibios_stm) [SBC's]

This made something very unhappy.

It now compiles - on to how to get the program into the Eval board.....

Jim

[Joel Bodenmann]

Hah, glad to hear that you figured it out. I was about to blame file encoding.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. We're happy to help wherever we can

Hi,

I cannot attach to the STM32F4 discovery board.

I don't know why. - It doesn't look like the debugger is set up properly ?

I am trying to follow the setup video for ChibiStudio to no avail...

I get the errors:

Can you point me in the proper direction please.

I figure that you may have already seen this once....

[Joel Bodenmann]

Did you start (and configure) OpenOCD? Our ChibiStudio guide explains this step-by-step with screenshots: https://wiki.ugfx.io/index.php/Using_ChibiStudio#Configuring_OpenOCD

There's a ready-to-run project for the STM32F429i-Discovery using ChibiStudio on our downloads site. Maybe you might want to have a look at that one to see how the debugger was configured: 

 

[jbsull]

Well,

I tried to follow the instructions, but no luck.

I cant get the debugger set up correctly -

Those message look like you are not using an arm version of gdb. Please make sure you are using the arm compiler gdb not the windows/Linux version.

[Joel Bodenmann]

@inmarket: I do not think that that is what is going on here. After all, his screenshot is showing that an instance of arm-none-eabi-gdb is being launched.

@jbsull: Could you please show us a screenshot of your OpenOCD configuration?

@cpu20 might be of help here too  

[jbsull]

Hello,

I mananged to get it running.
There were x2 configuration problems for me.

You probably already know this...

and there appears to be a  particular order that 
needs to be follewed to debug an app

1) Confguration of OPEN OCD - "external tool setup"
-c "telnet_port 4444" -s "C:\ChibiStudio\tools\openocd\scripts" -f "interface/stlink-v2.cfg" -f "board/stm32f429disc1.cfg"

2) Configuration of debugger "Run->Debug configuration"
 generic tcp/ip - localhost - 3333

Not sure why these port numbers work....

2) starting the project
 a) openOCD needs to be started manually - one time - must start thru external tool pulldown
 a) pressing debug(bug icon) doesnt ever work - must always select the down arrow.

So, I am now running -

Thanks for the support.

[Joel Bodenmann]

Glad to hear that you managed to get it working! Well done!  

I'd like to improve our documentation where necessary, but I feel like those steps have been explained there. Where do you see possible improvement?

By the way: 4444 is the telnet port while 3333 is the GDB port.
