Codebase for an STM32F746 discovery board used to upgrade an HP 141T Spectrum Analyzer display.

Primary LanguageC

HP141T LCD Upgrade

This firmware is designed to run on an STM32F746G Discovery board used to upgrade the CRT of an HP141T spectrum analyzer.

A demo video with hardware connections and an overview of this codebase can be found on my channel here: http://youtube.com/c/vk2seb

Prerequisites

Code was developed on Arch Linux. More work may be required to get it to compile on other distros.

You will require:

  • arm-none-eabi-gcc, arm-none-eabi-gdb
  • the STM32 cube F7 software suite (I install this at /opt/STM32Cube_FW_F7_V1.5.0, you will have to modify STM32_LIBS in the makefile for different directories)
  • A recent version of openocd

Building the code

$ make

Will generate out.elf (this can be modified by changing EXECUTABLE in the makefile)

Flashing / debugging

In one terminal:

$ make debug_server

This will start the openocd server enabling gdb to communicate with the STM32F7 board.

In another terminal:

$ debug_gdb

This will load the out.elf you compiled, flash it to the board and break at main. Type c and hit enter to continue execution. Alternatively you can just disconnect the board and reconnect it.
