Need to start with STEVAL-SPIN3204

[Alex10]

Hi,

First time for me with this kind of board and ST IDEs, I need help to start the project.

The drivers are ok, I can connect the board with STM32CubeProgrammer (ST-Link).

I made a project with MC Workbench, the code is generated with no errors.

But : I don't know how to program the device. I only have .c files, and In the "Erasing & Programming" (STM32CubeProgrammer) I need to put an hex or bin file.

I miss a step, I don't know witch one.

Can someone tell me how to continue ?

I guess that after programming the STM, I'll be able to communicate and use the motor pilot and profiler.

Regards.

You need to compile those files using a tool such as STM32CubeIDE - that will create the hex file.

 

@Zied b. @STTwo-32 This step does seem to be entirely missing from any documentation on the STEVAL-SPIN3204 product Page:

https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/steval-spin3204.html#documentation

On the Nucleo board product pages, there is always a "Getting started with SW development tools":

Perhaps you need the same here?

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for this reply.

I tried with STM32CubeIDE : 14:23:10 Build Failed. 893 errors, 26 warnings. (took 5s.303ms)

Do I have something to configure ?

I'm trying now with Arduino IDE : compilation is OK but the squetch can't be uploaded.

So I came back to CubeProgrammer and could program the device with the hex (arduino generated) file.

Next problem : I can't establish any UART communication (USART A is activated in the MC WB at 115200, in windows the speed of my COM(16) is 115200 too).

Something with the boot strap or another jumper ?

Regards

Hello @Alex10,

Using Motor Control WorkBench Version: 6.3.1, I generated a project 6step STEVAL-SPIN3204.
Using STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.15.0 as mentioned in the Release note available through "Workbench tool">About>Documentations>Release Notes", I compiled project with no error. I used the STM32CubeIDE to flash and debug the generated firmware through:

After launching the fw (F8) on CubeIDE, I am able to connect the pilot at 1843200 Baudrate.

Hello @Alex10,

Loading your .stwb6 on Workbench Version: 6.3.1, generating with STM32CubeMX 6.11 and FW package FW V1.11.5, I am able to compile it with STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.15.0 with no error.
Did you modify a file on MCSDK_v6.3.1-Full directory? 
Can you generate your test from an empty directory? Have a look in ~/.stm32cubemx/STM32CubeMX.log for generation errors.
Can you provide you .ioc generated file?

[Alex10]

Hi,

No, I didn't modify any file.

Can't find any .log in the STM32CubeMX directory.

What do you mean "from an empty directory" ?

I made a new directory, directly in c:/

Here is the .ioc (same thing, 893 errors ...)

Thanks.
