Second iteration is assembled! Definitely some more work to be done to sort out UCPD issues. I am still wrapping my head around the CC and CCDB pins. Some preliminary bodges show promise. I think we will be able to start working on the software with @dragonmux soon after the bmputil V1.0 and Black Magic Debug V2.0 release. :D (DISCLAIMER: this is a long term project, don't hold your breath. If you need a BMP get the V2.3) #electronics #debugging #jtag #swd #mcu #stm32

Updated my STM32 KiCad Symbol generator! It now generates the modern library format and uses alternate pin functions feature. I decided not to include the "all features listed" strings as I did in the past. (I might add them later as a dedicated alternate function.) This results in more compact symbols. Because it is my personal preference I keep the GPIO pin name in every alt-function. Give it a try, let me know what you think. #kicad #stm32 #opensource #mcu https://github.com/esden/stm32-kicad-lib

Just realised the readme for https://thi.ng/synstack (a C11 & Forth-based softsynth engine for #STM32) had broken links to two live performances/demos I creeated in early 2016. I've now fixed those and re-uploaded these videos to my Makertube/Peertube:

Designing my first PCB in Kicad. I think I've got the power supply wired up correctly.

I just finished my first attempt at a design for a schematic for an MCU (STM32N657Z0H3QTR).

My latest blog post: VanSpoof v1.0

https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-v1-0/

I'm happy to announce the v1.0 release of VanSpoof. My VanMoof X3 now starts up, without an e-shifter connected, and does not show an Error 44 status! The bike thinks it's connected to a working, functional, e-shifter!

So! PC-Zeit. Kann nun in Ruhe Nerd-Kram nachgehen.

Dann setze ich mich mal an mein Problem mit dem Debugger und meinem STM32 LoRa Chip - nachdem ich vor ca zwei Wochen endlich eine Verbindung hinbekommen habe und neue Firmware flashen konnte, verweigert das ganze Setup nun plötzlich jede Verbindung zum Chip und ich bin ein bisschen ratlos.

Meine Bewunderung geht an alle uC Embedded Entwickler. Man muss wirklich frustresistent sein - aber dasselbe sagen die ja vllt auch über Linux-Typen wie mich xD

@Impish4249 @atomicpoet Yes I am mostly ok with it. I do have two issues - I live across the world from my mom and Facebook was kind of the way I stayed in touch with her (getting her to catch on to Mastodon is not an option). Secondly, I did manage a quite popular group about #STM32 development (#STM32World) and that is now full of spam. Took me awhile to build that to 10000 members.
So, let me repeat: #FuckFacebook

Hat jemand von euch Erfahrungen mit verschiedenen STM32 V2 Debuggern?

Ich habe auf Ebay mal so einen gekauft: https://www.androegg.de/shop/usb-st-link-v2-stm8-stm32-jtag-openocd/

Nun habe ich das Problem, dass zum einen der STM32CubeProgrammer damit extrem instabil zu sein scheint und gleichzeitig zwar auch das Auslesen des Flash zu funktionieren scheint - aber nicht das Beschreiben. "Failed to erase memory".

Mit Fehlt damit komplett die Erfahrung. Kann so ein billiger Debugger die Probleme verursachen? Mit fehlt leider der Vergleich.

Habe dazu auch im RAKWireless Forum geschrieben: https://forum.rakwireless.com/t/using-st-link-debugger-with-stm32wle5-core-module-rak3172-module/14295

Attention all embedded developers.
I am trying to solve a decision process regarding which toolchain I ought to be using for STM32

My current job with the techbros, scoffed and nearly choked on their coffee when I said I have used STM32CubeIDE for quite a while.

They are using IAR EWARM, and I've tried it, the problem is, it lacks a lot of things that are useful, like the configuration tool and the clock selection tool.

Does anyone use STM32CubeIDE out there in a professional setting? I keep hearing stories that it sucks, it's slow, its Eclipse, etc.. etc etc

My original plan was to use the RAK11300 RP2040 + SX1262 LoRa module to transmit air temp/hum/qual. data via LoRa.

... which works... but the RP2040 does not meet my power consumption targets. I knew it was not the most energy efficient uC, but hoped the RP2040 ecosystem would balance out the power insufficiencies...

In the end I decided to switch to another uC.

RAKWireless also offers the STM32WLE5 as a WisBlock module, so that's what I will try next. [1]

For proper debugging a STLink Debugger has been purchased recently ;-) Waiting for the module to arrive, though .

I started working again on the MIDI2SwinSIDs project after about two years. It kind of works in the sense that it generates sounds responding to MIDI events. However, it lacks a real user interface and some bells and whistles. I’d like to add an arpeggiator and experiment with the ring modulation, for instance. Mastering STM32 programming is difficult if you do not spend your life in it, though… #electronics #diy #stm32 #sid #midi #retrocomputing #music #synth
