How to compile for stm32 on a arm64 host with platform io

1

i have an error when i try to compile my code for the stm32 with the framework modified by @maxgerhardt and originaly from grumpyoldpizza on an rock 5b arm sbc (with a rk3588 cpu 16gb ram and a nvme ssd):

Hmpf. The Arduino core wants to use a 7.2.1 GCC but the registry doesn’t have that version for linux_aarch64 (PlatformIO Registry). The next highest and available one is 9.3.1. Let me adjust the version requirements so you can give that a try…

3

ok thankyou i use it because i want to use my high power sbc more often (and not just the 500W brick under my desk that wants to be an roomheater)

Done in Make compiler version less restrictive for AArch64 · maxgerhardt/platform-ststm32@42aea56 · GitHub. Can you retry?

You might have to delete the old version with rm -rf ~/.platformio/platforms/ststm32*.

it worked after removing the old stuff

6

@maxgerhardt it works but i noticed with your framework the mbed upload doesnt work it throws this error: The application file format is unknown and cannot be parsed and/or processed

7

That’s weird. Can you post the whole log of pio run -t upload -v on the CLI?

sorry for being late but here is the output:

That looks like it has copied the firmware successfully to the specified path. The error message pops up separately?

Can you make sure the ST-Link firmware is up-to-date by using STSW-LINK007 - ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1, STLINK-V3 boards firmware upgrade - STMicroelectronics?

10

i did that but still no change and on the virtual disk is a file called fail.txt afterwards and here are the contents of the fail.txt:

The application file format is unknown and cannot be parsed and/or processed

11

That’s… intersting, PlatformIO seems to be using the .bin file which should be what it wants.

Can you manually drag+drop the ELF file in .pio/build/nucleo_wb55rg/firmware.elf to the virutal drive?

Or does it maybe expect a .hex or a .zip or some other format, hm.

12

with the elf file it does nothing not even reboot like with the bin

13

A result in https://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/5591-pin2dmd-black-screen-after-attempted-firmware-update/ seems to indicate that it may also be a broken .bin file that leads to this error message… but you said that if you program the file via STM32CubeProgrammer it works without problems right?

14

yes and also the stlink option in pio in the platformio,ini file

15

The .elf to .bin file conversion used in the arduino core, which is then used for the dfu-util as input file, is done exactly as in PlatformIO. The OpenOCD upload uses the .elf file.

Last few options to explore would be:

  1. Does the mbed upload also fail with a .bin file that comes out of the Arduino IDE? Either the GrumpyOldPizza core or the GitHub - stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32: STM32 core support for Arduino core.
  2. If not, does it work with .bin files generated through STM32CubeMX?
16

could you please send me both because i dont have arduino ide installed anymore and i absolutley dont know how cube mx works

17

Well the easiest one is the offiical STM32Core, since that’s directly supported. Does this blinky example work? Deleted

18

For an STM32CubeMX generated firmware, test out Deleted.

19

both examples work via the drag’n’drop method
