About

The purpose of the STM32-base project is to provide you with a simple and easy to use base project for working with STM32 microcontrollers. More information on why this project came into being can be found on the about page.

Getting started

Check out the getting started with STM32 microcontrollers guide. This guide is intended for beginners who want to get started with STM32 microcontrollers but don't know how or where to get started.

You can get started with the STM32-base project by reading the setup guide. A brief version of this guide is included in this README.

Quick start

Create a workspace directory
Create a directory named STM32-base. Create four directories in that folder. Name them libraries, projects, templates, and tools.
Install required software
Install Git and make. Download the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain. Extract the downloaded archive to the tools directory. Install the open-source ST-Link Tools.
Clone this and the STM32-base-STM32Cube repositories
Clone both this and the STM32-base-STM32Cube repositories in the STM32-base directory.
Clone the template repositories
Clone one or more of the template repositories.
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F0-template.git
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F1-template.git
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F2-template.git
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F3-template.git
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F4-template.git
git clone git@github.com:STM32-base/STM32-base-F7-template.git
Test the setup
In one of the templates, create two symbolic links to the STM32-base and the STM32-base-STM32Cube repositories. The run make. You have successfully set up the STM32-base project on your machine if compilation succeeds.

Boards

The STM32-base documentation contains a lot of information on many different STM32 development boards. A lot of the Chinese STM32 development boards that are available are listed on the board page.
