Experiments with Nucleo H743ZI2

required tools

ARM GCC Compiler Toolchain
STM32CubeMX
STM32CubeProgrammer

What I did

Generating a Makefile Project using STM32CubeMX
Compiling the project with ARM GCC
Flashing the board using STM32CubeProg

GENERATE THE PROJECT SOURCE CODE

The STM32CubeMX tool can be use to generate a Makefile project ready to use. I made one (LEDBlink).

COMPILING THE PROJECT

From the project folder, we can run make. We might need to specify the location of the ARM GCC Toolchain with GCC_PATH=/path/to/arm/gcc/.

The result is a binary: build/LEDBlink.bin

FLASH THE BOARD

Flashing the board

You can flash the board with the binary file you compiled (assuming LEDBlink.bin is the file).

 ./STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD -d LEDBlink.bin 0x08000000 -s
