First, you have to know there are several boards supported by the software.
|
|
|
|
Those boards use a chip to translate from USB to JTAG commands. The chip is
|
|
|
|
called stlink and there are 2 versions:
|
|
|
|
. STLINKv1, present on STM32VL discovery kits,
|
|
|
|
. STLINKv2, present on STM32L discovery and later kits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 different transport layers are used:
|
|
|
|
. STLINKv1 uses SCSI passthru commands over USB,
|
|
|
|
. STLINKv2 uses raw USB commands.

. libusb-1.0 (You probably already have this, but you'll need the
|
2011-11-04 01:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
development version to compile)

|
IF YOU HAVE AN STLINKv1
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The STLINKv1's SCSI emulation is very broken, so the best thing to do
|
|
|
|
is tell your operating system to completely ignore it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options (do one of these before you plug it in)
|
|
|
|
*) modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i
|
|
|
|
or *)1. add "options usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i" to /etc/modprobe.conf
|
|
|
|
*)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage
|
|
|
|
or *)1. cp stlink_v1.modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d
|
|
|
|
*)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IF YOU HAVE AN STLINKv2
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're ready to go :)

2011-02-16 11:18:56 +00:00
|
|
|
To run the gdb server, do (you do not need sudo if you have set up
|
|
|
|
permissions correctly):
|
2012-05-26 14:48:48 +00:00
|
|
|
$ make && [sudo] ./st-util
|
2011-11-04 01:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few options:
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-26 14:48:48 +00:00
|
|
|
./st-util - usage:
|
2011-10-14 22:05:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-11-04 01:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
-h, --help Print this help
|
|
|
|
-vXX, --verbose=XX specify a specific verbosity level (0..99)
|
|
|
|
-v, --verbose specify generally verbose logging
|
|
|
|
-s X, --stlink_version=X
|
|
|
|
Choose what version of stlink to use, (defaults to 2)
|
|
|
|
-1, --stlinkv1 Force stlink version 1
|
|
|
|
-p 4242, --listen_port=1234
|
|
|
|
Set the gdb server listen port. (default port: 4242)
|
2011-02-15 02:15:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-11-04 01:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Then, in gdb: (remember, you need to run an _ARM_ gdb, not an x86 gdb)
|
2011-10-14 22:05:14 +00:00
|
|
|
(gdb) target remote :4242

Resetting the chip from GDB
|
|
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may reset the chip using GDB if you want. You'll need to use `target
|
|
|
|
extended-remote' command like in this session:
|
2011-10-14 22:05:14 +00:00
|
|
|
(gdb) target extended-remote localhost:4242
|
|
|
|
Remote debugging using localhost:4242
|
2011-04-04 08:22:40 +00:00
|
|
|
0x080007a8 in _startup ()
|
|
|
|
(gdb) kill
|
|
|
|
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
|
|
|
|
(gdb) run
|
|
|
|
Starting program: /home/whitequark/ST/apps/bally/firmware.elf
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-14 22:05:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Remember that you can shorten the commands. `tar ext :4242' is good enough
|
2011-04-04 08:22:40 +00:00
|
|
|
for GDB.

Setting up udev rules
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-04 02:30:13 +00:00
|
|
|
For convenience, you may install udev rules file, 49-stlinkv*.rules, located
|
2011-04-04 15:10:04 +00:00
|
|
|
in the root of repository. You will need to copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d,
|
|
|
|
and then either reboot or execute
|
|
|
|
$ udevadm control --reload-rules
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-04 02:30:13 +00:00
|
|
|
Udev will now create a /dev/stlinkv2_XX or /dev/stlinkv1_XX file, with the appropriate permissions.
|
|
|
|
This is currently all the device is for, (only one stlink of each version is supported at
|
2011-11-04 01:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
any time presently)

Running programs from SRAM
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-16 11:18:56 +00:00
|
|
|
You can run your firmware directly from SRAM if you want to. Just link
|
|
|
|
it at 0x20000000 and do
|
2011-02-15 21:01:12 +00:00
|
|
|
(gdb) load firmware.elf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It will be loaded, and pc will be adjusted to point to start of the
|
|
|
|
code, if it is linked correctly (i.e. ELF has correct entry point).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing to flash
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GDB stub ships with a correct memory map, including the flash area.
|
|
|
|
If you would link your executable to 0x08000000 and then do
|
|
|
|
(gdb) load firmware.elf
|
|
|
|
then it would be written to the memory.

Q: My breakpoints do not work at all or only work once.
|
2011-02-15 21:01:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-02-16 11:18:56 +00:00
|
|
|
A: Optimizations can cause severe instruction reordering. For example,
|
|
|
|
if you are doing something like `REG = 0x100;' in a loop, the code may
|
|
|
|
be split into two parts: loading 0x100 into some intermediate register
|
|
|
|
and moving that value to REG. When you set up a breakpoint, GDB will
|
|
|
|
hook to the first instruction, which may be called only once if there are
|
|
|
|
enough unused registers. In my experience, -O3 causes that frequently.

|
|
|
Q: At some point I use GDB command `next', and it hangs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: Sometimes when you will try to use GDB `next' command to skip a loop,
|
2011-02-15 21:21:38 +00:00
|
|
|
it will use a rather inefficient single-stepping way of doing that.
|
|
|
|
Set up a breakpoint manually in that case and do `continue'.
