Thank you soooooo much!!! Did this for the Mac which is even more straight forward at installation (using homebrew). But putting all this information into one to-the-point video excellently paced and presented will really save many people multiple headaches. Thank you very much, great job.
Happy to hear that it was useful! Great information that it worked just as well on Mac. On Linux it is much more straightforward as well using for example apt package manager.
It's unbelievable how easy it is once someone shows you instead of looking all over the internet for bits of information. Thank you very much for these videos.
Thank you for very helpful tutorials! Regarding to part for flashing using openocd command, I got an error: libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED Do you know maybe solution or advice for this problem? Thank you!
@@emgeek I have been exploring the 8-bit ecosystem for simple low power projects and find that ST stands out in that department too with the STM8 in multiple areas like toolchain, cost and supporting hardware. Just in case you are looking for ideas for the next video...
I learned that things are simplified a lot by using MSYS to install arm tool chain, gdb, openocd, and make. Updating is easier and everything is managed in one place.
Does anyone have a solution to the " variable "uint32_t" is not a type name" problem? I've searched and tried many solutions online, but none work for me

Haven't tried CubeIDE with the integrated CubeMX but I would assume that the integrated CubeMX only generate projects for CubeIDE. Try to download the standalone code generator instead: www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html
My guess is that the mkdir command us not in your path. Can you create a directory manually using: mkdir foo In your terminal? Otherwise maje sure to add the full path of the bin directory with the linux-style commands from gitbash to your PATH environment variable.
Hi @EmbeddedGeek, I have a small question. Will STM32 development boards work on windows10 pro or do I need a proper driver for it. If yes please let me know which driver I should install, Thanks.
Of course depends on the development board, most ST boards contain a ST-link V3 or V2 that should work with the driver linked above. 64-bit OS:es shouldn't be a problem, are anyone using 32-bit these days?
what an explanation it seems really easy but i can know how much effort you put on this tutorial, very helpful thank you and i would like you to make a video for linux
Hello, thanks for the tutorial. Do you have any idea why arm-none-eabi-gcc doesn't get recognized for me? I did exactly what you did, I did the same with %ARMGCC_DIR%, I even tried it without that way and just copying the path into PATH. It just keeps giving me the error 'arm-none-eabi-gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Great video. Have you tried using the AWS FreeRTOS for the STM32 and ESP32 on VS Code? If so, could you please give me some insights about it? Outstanding work!
No, haven't tried the AWS-specific FreeRTOS, but getting vanilla FreeRTOS running on a ST Cortex-M0/M4 is pretty straight forward. That's actually a good idea for a future video.
@@emgeek Thanks for replying. Before you elaborate that video, could you please pass that info where I could see the vanilla FreeRTOS installation on VS Code using that board you mention? That's be a reliable guide to do the same with the AWS FreeRTOS ESP32. Thanks in advance and keep doing videos like these. :)
fantastic, so helpfull. A suggestion for make clean: I replaced the line in te makefile by: -rmdir /s /q $(BUILD_DIR) wich is a regular windows command that removes the directory and it's file without ascking confirmation thanks a lot
I appreciate that, just looking around a clear tutorial regarding the tool chain installation, here it is!!! Btw could I also attach any optimization flag via cmd , like -os?
Thanks! Just uploaded a followup hon how to use this toolchain together with VSCode for debugging, check it out: th-cam.com/video/xaC5oWwzOt0/w-d-xo.html
The normal way in linux is to export those variables in your .bashrc/.zshrc or similar file in your home folder. GCC works great under linux since that what GCC is designed for linux in the first place.
Great tutorial ❤, thanks a lot. Please why do you using makefile to build STM32 projects rather than using STM32CUBEIDE, or any other IDE? I have seen lots of developers using your method, what the reason behind that, thanks in advance❤ ?
Thanks for the tutorial What are your thoughts on using STM's GNU Tools for STM32 vs GNU ARM Toolchain? I have had some issues compiling library codes with ARM Toolchain as compared to GNU Tools for STM32? Thanks for the very useful tutorial
To be honest Haven't heard about that... Is that a part of the STM32CubeIDE? I know that's mostly preferences, but I'm personally more comfortable in VSCode than an Eclipse based environment. So far, I haven't found anything I cannot do with the vanilla GNU ARM embedded, but I may not be the most advanced user...
Among ocean of missleading resources i have finally found the pearl. Your activity could be presented as template for role model. Content-wise and modestly, which is completely opposite to today's standards.
Hi! Excelent video, this information has been pretty usefull since i dont like that much the STM32CubeIDE jeje. One question, it is possible to create the project with cpp files? what i have to change. Excelent video and thanks again.
Why not use both, i agree that linux is a lot smother for development, especially if you use the GNU-stack of tools. However this is even more a reason to make a tutorial to get up and going on Windows. Other things like gaming, CAD-work and to some extent things like webcam and GPU drivers is a mess on Linux. And good luck getting Linux machines accepted in a managed corporate network... At home I use both Windows and Linux, about as much, but I would never get a Mac...

Thanks for the idea, have not looked into the STM8 line at all. May be interesting, especially with the chip shortages right now.
I learned that things are simplified a lot by using MSYS to install arm tool chain, gdb, openocd, and make. Updating is easier and everything is managed in one place.
One of the best tutorial I’ve seen. Great job!
It's awesome. Best video about arm and gcc
Thanks! I have some more coming with a similar theme.
Also for anyone using cmder you don't need to install git as it comes pre installed but also with a subset of bash like commands builtin
cmder is great, that's my preferred console on windows as well.
Very cool tutorial buddy! Recently seen by me on November 2023. Thanks for the guidance.
Great tutorial! A lot of steps but worked perfectly the first time. Thank you.
Does anyone have a solution to the " variable "uint32_t" is not a type name" problem? I've searched and tried many solutions online, but none work for me
uint32_t is defined in stdint.h, have you tried adding:
#include
In the top of the file?
What tweaks I need to do to mix/compile C and C++ files? Some libs I use are written in C++ and I prefer C++ more. MX generates Makefile for me.
I have actually recorded a video on exactly that topic a while ago. Just haven't got around to recording the voiceover yet.
@@emgeek any plans for releasing that video?
Right now I'm occupied by some house renovations, will get back to the video in a few weeks I think.
I miss something and that is what is needed on the Visual Studio side? Or is it used like a "text editor"?? I can imagine some fancy plugin should be available for it.

With the new CubeIDE the option to select the Makefile as toolchain is grayed out. Do you have a solution for this?
Haven't tried CubeIDE with the integrated CubeMX but I would assume that the integrated CubeMX only generate projects for CubeIDE.
Try to download the standalone code generator instead:
www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html
I have gone through all steps until encountered the error "Make: mkdir: Command not found" when I type the command "make". How can I fix this ?
My guess is that the mkdir command us not in your path. Can you create a directory manually using:
mkdir foo
In your terminal? Otherwise maje sure to add the full path of the bin directory with the linux-style commands from gitbash to your PATH environment variable.
Hi @EmbeddedGeek, I have a small question. Will STM32 development boards work on windows10 pro or do I need a proper driver for it. If yes please let me know which driver I should install, Thanks.
This is the one I'm using.
www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link009.html
@@emgeek So If I install this driver the programmer and the development board works right?. Mine is a 64-bit operating system.
Of course depends on the development board, most ST boards contain a ST-link V3 or V2 that should work with the driver linked above.

thank you and i would like you to make a video for linux
Yes, I mainly use Linux as a daily driver nowdays, that would be a good idea
Does this setup allow debugging in Visual studio for stm32f401 boards with usb c and stm link?
Yes, as long as it is a debugger supported by openocd, which all ST-Links are to my knowledge.
@@emgeek any one used Visual studio or STM Cube IDE does it all?
For some reason I had to create a build directory inside MakeTest folder for my project to build. After that it worked great.
That should be handled by the makefile, glad it worked out for you

Make sure to close all terminal and VSCode windows after you made changes to the path variable. It is loaded when you start the terminal/VSCode

Thank you @emgeek Great Tutorial !
Thank you very much for the great tutorial. Can one use VS Code for simulating ARM Cortex-M ( simulating just the algorithm, not peripheral)?
If you want to simulate a Cortex-M I would have a look at QEMU. Perhaps there's a way to connect it to VSCode through GDB
why i need to rename: ".\make-3.8.1\bin\make.exe" to "gccmake.exe" (MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland)?
Not sure whats needed to get a borland version of Make going. Save yourself some trouble and use canilla GNU make instead.
Clean setup.
