This is an Xcode template for stm32f4 boards using gcc arm toolchain, based on the macos template in the STM32F4_Templates repository created by Tony Abboud. I would highly recommend you to check out his Youtube series: STM32F4 Development Series
Forgive me when I call most of the information on programming with STM32F4 on internet garbage, but this guy really knows what he is doing and I enjoyed his tutorials, I suggest you take the time and watch his videos if you are not familiar with STM32 environment.
git clone https://github.com/MuhsinFatih/stm32f4_Xcode
(I suggest not having spaces in your project directory. It might mess things up)
I don't think this needs any explanation ^^
You can follow the steps here, or watch the first video in the series I mentioned: STM32F4 Dev. | #1 - Setup the Toolchain / Templates (Barebones)
The two are slightly different, but both should work.
##Setting up the toolchain ###Install homebrew Go to brew's homepage and install: https://brew.sh/
brew tap PX4/homebrew-px4
brew update
brew install gcc-arm-none-eabi-48
brew install st-link
straightforward: build and run as usual in Xcode. Activate the console if you don't see it: view > debug area > activate console
You should see 'build succeeded' message show up
Go to project folder (where main.cpp is) and
make
make flash
This will put build files in build folder in the project folder, whereas Xcode will store it in a temporary folder
##Troubleshooting If you have any issues please report it. Feel free to submit a pull request if you have any fixes to issues or any improvements.
If you follow STM32F4 Development Series as I said on top of this page, make sure you wrap interrupt functions with extern "C" {} in case you want to define them inside a c++ file. Like so:
extern "C" {
interrupt function() { ... }
}
Otherwise your program will crash. Here's a SO discussion with detailed info: Why isn't my SysTick_Handler() being called in my LPCxpresso C++ Project?
