HOWTO
=====
STMicroelectronics Stlink Tools
===============================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/xor-gate/stlink.svg?branch=travis)](https://travis-ci.org/xor-gate/stlink)

## HOWTO

First, you have to know there are several boards supported by the software.
Those boards use a chip to translate from USB to JTAG commands. The chip is
called stlink and there are 2 versions:
. STLINKv1, present on STM32VL discovery kits,
. STLINKv2, present on STM32L discovery and later kits.

2 different transport layers are used:
. STLINKv1 uses SCSI passthru commands over USB,
. STLINKv2 uses raw USB commands.
* STLINKv1, present on STM32VL discovery kits,
* STLINKv2, present on STM32L discovery and later kits.

Two different transport layers are used:

Common requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* STLINKv1 uses SCSI passthru commands over USB
* STLINKv2 uses raw USB commands.

## Common requirements

. libusb-1.0 (You probably already have this, but you'll need the
development version to compile)
. pkg-config

IF YOU HAVE AN STLINKv1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
## For STLINKv1

The STLINKv1's SCSI emulation is very broken, so the best thing to do
is tell your operating system to completely ignore it.

Options (do one of these before you plug it in)
*) modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i
or *)1. add "options usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i" to /etc/modprobe.conf
*)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage
or *)1. cp stlink_v1.modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d
*)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage

IF YOU HAVE AN STLINKv2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* `modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i`
* or *)1. add "options usb-storage quirks=483:3744:i" to /etc/modprobe.conf
* *)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage
* or *)1. cp stlink_v1.modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d
* *)2. modprobe -r usb-storage && modprobe usb-storage

## For STLINKv2

You're ready to go :)

COMPILING

## Build from sources

### Autotools

This project was converted to Autotools by a well meaning individual. The
following steps will build the project for you.

```
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
```

### CMake

```
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
```

## Using the gdb server

USING THE GDBSERVER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run the gdb server: (you do not need sudo if you have set up
permissions correctly)

```
$ make && [sudo] ./st-util

The STLINKv2 device to use can be specified in the environment
variable STLINK_DEVICE on the format <USB_BUS>:<USB_ADDR>.
variable STLINK_DEVICE on the format `<USB_BUS>:<USB_ADDR>`.

Then, in your project directory, someting like this...

Resetting the chip from GDB
===========================
## Resetting the chip from GDB

You may reset the chip using GDB if you want. You'll need to use `target
extended-remote' command like in this session:

```
(gdb) target extended-remote localhost:4242
Remote debugging using localhost:4242
0x080007a8 in _startup ()
(gdb) kill
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/whitequark/ST/apps/bally/firmware.elf
Starting program: /home/whitequark/ST/apps/bally/firmware.elf
```

Remember that you can shorten the commands. `tar ext :4242' is good enough
for GDB.

Setting up udev rules
=====================
## Setting up udev rules

For convenience, you may install udev rules file, 49-stlinkv*.rules, located
in the root of repository. You will need to copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d,
and then either reboot or execute

```
$ udevadm control --reload-rules
$ udevadm trigger
```

Udev will now create a /dev/stlinkv2_XX or /dev/stlinkv1_XX file, with the appropriate permissions.
This is currently all the device is for, (only one stlink of each version is supported at
any time presently)

Running programs from SRAM
==========================
## Running programs from SRAM

You can run your firmware directly from SRAM if you want to. Just link
it at 0x20000000 and do

```
(gdb) load firmware.elf
```

It will be loaded, and pc will be adjusted to point to start of the
code, if it is linked correctly (i.e. ELF has correct entry point).

Writing to flash
================
## Writing to flash

The GDB stub ships with a correct memory map, including the flash area.
If you would link your executable to 0x08000000 and then do
(gdb) load firmware.elf
then it would be written to the memory.

Q: My breakpoints do not work at all or only work once.

A: Some people report XML/EXPAT is not enabled by default when compiling
GDB. Memory map parsing thus fail. Use --enable-expat.
