STM32Helper

As its name, this is a tool for stm32 development with vscode and WSL.

Features

1. Generate c_cpp_properties.json
2. WGenerate the value of Makefile 'C_SOURCES'
3. Setup workspace in Windows

How to use

Pre-Requirements

Install nodejs and yarn, then run $ yarn install && npm install -g .

Setup JLink workspace

Good news! From now on no more stdout redirect is needed! You can generate c_cpp_properties.json, Cortex Debug profile and build tasks in one step!!

Good news x2 ! From now on you can install this script globally so you can access this script at anywhere!

$ stm32helper vscode /path/to/your/project --jlink-all

Although most of the steps are full automatic now but you still need to set cortex-debug.JLinkGDBServerPath and cortex-debug.gdbPath in settings.json manully

Replace /path/to/your/project to your project directory path, then run $ node index.js vscode /path/to/your/project >> /path/to/your/project/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json

Generate C_SOURCES

You have to edit your Makefile first!

Add this line below C_SOURCES

C_SOURCES += $(shell stm32helper searchc .) # Add all user source code

And you will get something like this:

Download SVD

$ stm32helper svd -d <Your MCU Name> [-o <Output file>] [-s <SVD Index source>] [-u <SVD Download Source>]

For example

My MCU is STM32G071GBU6 so the command will be like: node index.js svd -d STM32G071GB

Using in Windows

Things are a bit complicated in Windows so the easiest way is to use it in WSL (run code command in WSL). However, It is still possible.

Also please checkout this issue: microsoft/vscode-cpptools#11018

1. Create some batch file like these:

@echo off
wsl arm-none-eabi-gcc %*

2. Copy out ALL system headers (something like: /usr/arm-none-eabi/include)
3. Set C_Cpp.default.systemIncludePath to where you've copied out
4. Change compilerPath to your batch file

Not going to say too much about this method since its a sh1t. After C++ extension fixed that bug I'll make this whole process full automatic
