How to build and debug STM32 with STM32CubeMX and Visual Studio Code

Primary LanguageC

This guide for Windows 10 for now. Example for NUCLEO-L053R8

Special thanks to GREGOR_812's note

1. Install Chocolatey then run

choco install gcc-arm-embedded make

Or instal packages manually

2. Download OpenOCD and add to 'Path'

OpenOCD or Download OpenOCD for Windows

3. Check connection (for NUCLEO-L053R8)

openocd -f interface/stlink-v2-1.cfg -f target/stm32l0.cfg

4. Generate STM32CubeMX project where Toolchain/IDE config is Makefile

My STM32 Cube Repository directory is c:\STM32CubeRepository and I check in project manager:

  • Add necessary library files as reference in the toolchain project configuration file
  • Generate peripheral initialization as a pair of .c / .h files per peripheral

5. Find and copy .svd-file into root of your project directory

MCU page on st.com -> Resources -> HW Model, CAD Libraries & SVD -> download System View Description

6. Copy .vscode from this repository into root of your project directory and improve it depend on your own configurations

  • Copy C includes from Makefile to includePath section in .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
  • Copy C defines from Makefile to defines section in .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
  • Copy uncommented defines from Module Selection of Inc/stm32xxxx_hal_conf.h to defines section in .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json

7. Install vscode extentions:

  • Cortex-Debug from marus25.
  • С/С++ from Microsoft

8. Press F5 and enjoy

I'm not sure that really must done, but it helped me. First run VS code as administrator. Next you can start it as common user.
