Toolchain installation
In order to use this repository, the user shall install the following resources and utilities.
Some of the requirements for installing and using this software are (for Ubuntu):
- Update the system (optional step):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt upgrade
- Installation git:
sudo apt-get install git
- Installation libusb:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
- Installation cmake:
sudo apt-get install cmake
The GNU Embedded Toolchain for ARM is a ready-to-use, open source suite of tools for C, C++ and Assembly programming targeting ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-R family of processors.
The PPA we want in this case is from the GCC ARM Embedded Maintainer’s team.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-embedded
The situation is a bit trickier: go to GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain Downloads website and download the latest archive with the toolchain (as of now, gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2).
Create the file integrate_arm_gcc.sh and paste the code below:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
echo "./integrate_gcc_arm.sh PATH_TO_TAR"
exit 1
fi
FILENAME=$1
NAME=${FILENAME##*/}
NAME=${NAME%-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2}
echo "Unpacking..."
tar xjf $FILENAME -C /usr/share/
FILES=/usr/share/$NAME/bin/*
for binary in $FILES
do
bin_name=${binary##*/}
echo "Create symlink to "$bin_name
ln -s $binary /usr/bin/$bin_name
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "oops, trying to fix..."
rm /usr/bin/$bin_name
ln -s $binary /usr/bin/$bin_name
fi
done
echo "Done!"
Make the script executable:
chmod +x ./integrate_arm_gcc.sh
Then run the script with sudo passing the path to the tar archive as a script parameter. Here is an example:
sudo ./integrate_arm_gcc.sh ./gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-binutils-cs
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-newlib
brew tap ArmMbed/homebrew-formulae
brew install arm-none-eabi-gcc
If it is installed correctly, calling autocomplete:
arm-none (press tab twice)
should yield the list of installed binaries:
arm-none-eabi-addr2line arm-none-eabi-gcc-ar arm-none-eabi-nm

OpenOCD is a free on chip debug solution for targets based on ARM. It is a server which opens a GDB remote target port and a Telnet port.
In order to install OpenOCD, the code necesary for instalation could be found in OpenOCD.
The following commands generate and install the program.
./configure [options]
make
sudo make install
Stlink package is the software for the ST-Link programmer that works with many ST boards. On the discovery boards, the programmer is embedded at the top. You just need to make sure you plug in your mini-USB cable into the center-most port that is labeled ST-Link.
Сlone the repository st-link:
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink.git
Every thing can be built from the top of directory:
cd stlink
make
cd build/Release/lib
To install it run the following command with root permission:
sudo make install
For some reason, the supplementary library might not be installed automatically, thus Linux users should move the library manually to the system directory.
sudo cp libstlink.so.1 /usr/lib/
sudo yum install stlink
brew install stlink
