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


How to manually install downloaded "stm32cube_fw_f4_v140.zip"?

Hi!

I have downloaded stm32cube_fw_f4_v140.zip from ST’s site and want to install it manually. I don’t want Eclipse to download the 160 Meg file after I have performed a clean install of SW-STM32.

Is there a way?

Thanks in advance,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,

There is no automatic way to do it from System Workbench.

What you can try is to move the zip file into C:\Users\${USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Ac6\SW4STM32\firmwares then create a new project. The scanner should find the firmware and not ask you to download it again but I cannot guarantee you it will work.

Regards,
Kevin.


Hi Kevin,

I am not the OP but I would like to make a feature-request if I may:

I already have STM32CubeMX latest version installed with all the modules, can I suggest a feature for OpenSTM32 to use already installed Cube’s libraries instead of downloading all the same files that STM32Cube has already downloaded (saved in %USER%\STM32Cube\Repository)? Thanks!

I’ll second thios request!
Yo’ll alsoo notice that the F3 libraries in AC6 lag well behind the cube libraries


Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the workaround... it worked :-)

FYI, I’m new to Eclipse, but I saw that it has a menu option: Help > Install New Software... There you can add a local site for downloads. It did not work for me, but maybe SW-STM32 can be modified to use this mechanishm to search for *.zip files first, before going to the internet?

Thanks again!
Pieter


Hi Kevin

Does this also work for Linux?

I must also echo the feature request from bugmenot in that you should be able to use an already downloaded firmware.

I have tried copying the zip file as you suggested for Pieter, it did not work. I tried extracting the zip and still did not work. I have had to bite the bullet and download the HAL firmware and I have noticed that it is downloading version 1.2 of the F3 firmware and not version 1.4. Could this have been the most likely reason why it wasn’t being detected?

Is there any workaround so that I can get my F7 HAL firmware in there because I am not looking forward to downloading a 280MB file again.

Cheers

Hi Pieter,

If the Cube libraries referenced from System Workbench are behind those referenced by CubeMX, that may be because you System Workbench installation is out-of-date. You should update it by “Help >> Check for Updates...” then try again.

Hope this helps,
