Yes i was asking for the same ..... All the tools i mentioned were open-source as i hate closed source software. Currently I am using the tool-chain in same method i posted in e-mail. And I am sending you the step-by step method on how to integrate all the stuff together: Note: I am using debian based distro so this is the only method I know. AND I GIVE FULL CREDIT OF THIS METHOD TO "Andrei Istodorescu: Here is his link: http://engineering-diy.blogspot.in/2012/11/stm32f3-discovery-eclipse-openoc… 1-->ECLIPSE SETUP 1.1-->Download ECLIPSE CDT Juno SR2 from here (as older version are have bug in GDB ) link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/download… 1.2-->extract it to some folder let it be A. 1.3-->open eclipse 1.4-->go to help->install new software->add http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno as repositories and search for GDB and install it. 2-->OPENOCD SETUP 2.1-->in order to use openocd we need full-fill following dependencies :*git zlib1g-dev libtool flex bison libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libmpc-dev autoconf texinfo build-essential libftdi-dev libusb-1.0.0-dev * *2.2-->download OPENOCD from following: * *link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openocd/files/openocd/0.7.0/openocd-0.7.0.z… * *2.3-->extract it to some folder let it be B. * *2.4-->with terminal navigate to folder B. * *2.5-->type following command in sequence: 2.5.1-->**./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-stlink* * 2.5.2-->make * * 2.5.3-->make install * *2.6-->now you must check is OPENOCD is working by connecting your STM32 board with PC(type this command using root privilege) **2.6.1-->openocd -f /usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/board/stm32f3discovery.cfg* * * * 2.6.2-->if it is working than than the command will output message about its version ,programmer type,adepter speed etc if it is not **than we will get error * * * * * *3-->GCC-ARM-EMBEDED SETUP * *3.1-->dowlnoad gcc--arm-embeded from following: link: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/4.7/4.7-2013-q1-update/+download/gcc… * * * *3.2-->extract it to folder let it be C. ** 3.3-->Now download sample project by *Andrei Istodorescu *link: http://code.google.com/p/andrei-development/downloads/detail?name=stm32f3.t… * *3.4-->Open eclipse(root permission) and navigate to File->import project->genral->existing projects into workspace ,select the downloaded project and select finish. * *4-->MAKEFILE SETUP * *4.1-->edit makefile at two placeslike this *: TC = /C/gcc-arm-none-eabi-x_x-xxxxqx/bin/arm-none-eabi FPU = -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard * * * 5-->WAY TO BUILD->FLASH->DEBUG CODE * * 5.1-->right click on project name and than select build 5.2-->*if build successful than navgate:Run->External Tools->External Tools Configuration->openocd restart->run. now right click on project and navigate to: debug as->debug configuration->stm32f3-debug-> debug * * *Thats all...... * *I hope things are now more clear to you...... * *Regards *

Requesting Pre-Compiled and Tested Binaries for STM32 DISCOVERY
by Sagar Rathi 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

Dear fedora lovers, Can you please give pre-compiled tool-chain binaries for STM32 board in fedora electronic spin. Also i request that... There must be a software in fedora spin for micro-controller through which we can select our micro-controller model and than that software automatically download and install the required tool-chain for it. And this must be a single click for us. Why i am requesting this is because it will attract more electronic user to Linux. Thank You in advance......

Announcing sigrok - a signal analysis software suite
by Alex Gagniuc 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi all, I'm Alex, a 'part-time' open hardware and software hacker. I'd like to talk a little bit about sigrok, a signal analysis software suite that supports various device types, such as logic analyzers, MSOs, oscilloscopes, multimeters, LCR meters, sound level meters, thermometers, hygrometers, anemometers, light meters, dataloggers, function generators, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, GPIB interfaces, and more. sigrok started as flosslogic, a small project by Uwe Hermann. Uwe disliked the crappy nature (and Windows-only nature) of software for his logic analyzers. He started to work on a free software replacement for that software. Soon after, he teamed up with Bert Vermeulen, who was working on exactly the same thing, for exactly the same reasons as Uwe. Since then, the project has grown, and more enthusiasts (including myself) have pitched in. This weekend, they had their most spectacular release. I say spectacular, because, for the first time since the start of the project, they have released a usable GUI, PulseView. While some half-baked GUIs have existed in the past, they were slow to render, and had nothing but the most basic functionality. Joel Holdsworth has decided to start a new GUI from scratch, and has been working on PulseView for over a year, which finally came to a (pleasantly) usable very recently. As it stands, the sigrok project has the following components: libsigrok - the interface to the hardware devices libsigrokdecode - library for decoding protocols (any data collected with sigrok) sigrok-cli - command-line interface pulseview - The best GUI ever written for sigrok sigrok-firmware - binary firmware for some devices sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw - GPLv2 firmware for Cypress FX2-based logic analysers. I was able to get most of the packages approved, and they should be available in the official Fedora repositories soon (f18 and f19). I think sigrok can be a great asset to Fedora Electronics Lab. I want to avoid paraphrasing their wiki in its entirety :). The project's home is at http://sigrok.org . I hope you will find sigrok to be of value to Fedora Electronics Lab. Alex P.S. sigrok is always spelled without capitalization, even at the beginning of a sentence. :) P.P.S. sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is still in need of review. If you'd like to help, please head on here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922246

Gputils-1.2.0 and Fedora
by rrankin＠ihug.com.au 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

The current version of Gputils in Fedora has a major issue with extended instruction set processors. This has been resolved in Gputils-1.2.0. Gputils-1.2.0 has been build for F17 and higher and is currently in testing. When these packages either get enough karma or the testing wait period expire, I plan to push them into the distributions.
