SW4STM32 and SW4Linux fully supports the STM32MP1 asymmetric multicore Cortex/A7+M4 MPUs

   With System Workbench for Linux, Embedded Linux on the STM32MP1 family of MPUs from ST was never as simple to build and maintain, even for newcomers in the Linux world. And, if you install System Workbench for Linux in System Workbench for STM32 you can seamlessly develop and debug asymmetric applications running partly on Linux, partly on the Cortex-M4.
You can get more information from the ac6-tools website and download (registration required) various documents highlighting:

System Workbench for STM32


J-Link support

HI

Any plans to add Segger’s J-Link as a debugger option?

Cheers,
Gawie

Hello,

Could you try to install the eclipse pluginQuestion yourself and see if it works?

I would be surprised if it doesn’t, but then again, I don’t have much experience with this STM32 line.

Thanks,
Dustin


Thanks Dustin, I am already using these eclipse pluginsQuestion on another project and am highly impressed. The J-Link plug-in should work great with System Workbench. This will be advantageous for System Workbench as Segger has working J-Link drivers for all major operating systems.

Have been struggling to get J-Link debugging to work.
I am a HW engineer, so, not used to SW tool configuration.
Have installed eclipse with openstm32 and STM32CubeMX add-ons in a W7 PC.
Could compile and debug with ST-Link on a STM32F429 discovery board.
When I try to use j-link as debugger, I consistently get an error
“Error while launching command: gdb - - version”

I have launched the “JLinkGDBServerCL.exe” in a DOS window, it seems to find my Device and ends with “waiting for GDB”.

At the bottom of the following page:
http://gnuarmeclipse.livius.net/blog/jlink-debugging/#J-Link_plug-in_useQuestion

I think the second paragraph refers to my problem, but I have no idea how to apply the information!

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Thanks

Error while launching command: gdb –version

If you kept the GDB client executable defined as ${cross_prefix}gdb${cross_suffix}, the above error means that the macros could not be substituted with the correct prefix/suffix. There can be several reasons for this. One might be that you did not associate the debug launcher to a project. Check the Main tab and be sure the field Project: refer to the correct project. Next time when you create the debug configuration, be sure you follow the above suggestions (select .elf, Debug Configurations, double click on GDB SEGGER J-Link Debugging. Another reason is presented below.

Using a different build plug-in or not supported compiler

Another reason for not being able to start the debug session is that your project was not build with the GNU ARM Eclipse managed build plug-in. If you are using another build plug-in, or an exotic/obsolete toolchain, you need to replace ${cross_prefix}gdb${cross_suffix} with the actual name of the gdb client available in your toolchain, since the ${cross_*} macros are available only in projects managed by the GNU ARM Eclipse build plug-in.


Found a fix to my problem above here:
https://community.freescale.com/thread/324320Question

Basically, at the Debug Config... Debug tag, for “GDB client setup”, browsed to
“C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\plugins\fr.ac6.mcu.externaltools.arm-none.win32_1.1.0.201503101257\tools\compiler\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe”

Is there a better way?

Hi,

The right value to use in this case would be “${openstm32_compiler_path}\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe” (the .exe is in fact optional); going this way allows you to not depend on th einstallation directory and use the last version of the debugger when you update System Workbench (by “Help >> Check for Updates...”)

There is some method to use J-link with AC6 and view the I/O registers? Now, when I debug with J-link, the “I/O registers”, show “No CMSIS-SVD schema for this target”. Can AC6 integrate J-link officially?

Hi,
I have just successfuly started J-Link under AC6. It works significantly faster than ST-Link e.g. in step mode. It has unlimited breakpoits. It is good news.
How long I can’t see / debug all register, the AC6 is only free of charge toy.
Dear developers! There is a piece of market to take! I hate the IAR user interface (eclipse is 100x better), but functionaly IAR is percect.
