This guide applies to Ubuntu 12.04 and Mac OS X Lion 10.7, with Eclipse Indigo. Using an ST-Link device requires minimal config compared to using OpenOCD.

this makes updating + installing plugins easier on Ubuntu.

1. Download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
2. Extract somewhere in your home directory, use the launcher to start eclipse
3. Setting up an Eclipse-based IDE
4. Suggested directory structure for Chibios development. This allows for multiple Chibios based projects to share one Chibios codebase and also coexist in the same workspace within eclipse.

   1. ./src                               Use this as your eclipse workspace
      ./src/chibios                       Check out the chibios source code here
      ./src/proj1                         project directory
      ./src/proj2                         project directory
      ./src/proj1/chibios -> ../chibios   symbolic link to chibios
      ./src/proj1/MakeFile                project files
      ./src/proj1/main.c
      ./src/proj1/chconf.h
      ./src/proj1/mcuconf.h
      ./src/proj1/halconf.h

5. Follow Creating a GDB Debug Configuration
6. Set Remote Target port as 4242

1. Clone the st-link repo:

   1. git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink

2. compile and install. Here I install to my home directory so that it doesn't conflict with the rest of the system.

   1. $ cd stlink
      $ ./autogen.sh
      $ ./configure --prefix=/home/user/apps
      $ make
      $ make install

3. Add ~/apps/bin to your path
4. Test it:

   1. tom@Z77A-GD65:~/projects/rc/src$ st-util
