Developing your STM32VLDISCOVERY application

using the MDK-ARM software

Introduction

This document provides an introduction on how to use the MDK-ARM TM software

development toolchain (version 4.11 and later) with the STM32VLDiscovery board.

It provides novice users of the MDK-ARM tool-chain with some guidelines to build and run

the sample program provided with this document. This should provide them with the skills

required to create and build their own applications.

The DISCOVER project, referenced in this document, corresponds to the demo Flashed into

the STM32VLDISCOVERY board during production. The project is available within the

STM32VLDISCOVERY firmware package available at http://www.st.com/stm32vldiscovery.

Although this application note cannot show all the topics relevant to the MDK-ARM tool, it

demonstrates the first basic steps necessary to get started with the compiler/debugger.

About MDK-ARM toolchain

The MDK-ARM is a window-based software development platform that combines a robust

and modern editor with a project manager and make facility tool. It integrates all the tools

needed to develop embedded applications including C/C++ compiler, macro assembler,

linker/locator, and an AXF file generator. MDK-ARM helps expedite the development

process of embedded applications by providing the following:

●

Full-featured source code editor.

●

Device Database ® for configuring the development tool.

●

Project manager for creating and maintaining your projects.

●

Integrated Make Utility for assembling, compiling, and linking your embedded

applications.

●

Dialogs for all development environment settings.

●

True integrated source-level and assembler-level debugger with high-speed CPU and

peripheral simulator.

●

Advanced GDI interface for software debugging on target hardware and for connecting

to a Keil™ ULINK™ Debug adapter.

●

Flash programming utility for downloading the application program into Flash ROM.

●

Links to manuals, on-line help, device datasheets, and user guides.

Starting an existing MDK-ARM project

Installing the MDK-ARM toolchain (using the default settings) results in the toolchain being

installed in C:\Keil on the PC’s local hard disk. The installer creates a start menu uVision4

shortcut.

1. Open uVision4 TM from the Start menu. Figure 1 shows the names of the windows

referred to in this document.
