Compiling the firmware

Installing prerequisites

To compile the program, you first need to install the prerequisite tools:

• gcc-arm-none-eabi: GCC compilation toolchain for ARM microcontrollers.
  • Installing on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
• stm32cubeMX: Tool from STM to automatically generate setup routines and configure libraries, etc.
  • Available here

Generate code

• Run stm32cubeMX and load the stm32cubemx/Odrive.ioc project file.
• Press Project -> Generate code
• You may need to let it download some drivers and such.

Generate makefile

There is an excellent project called CubeMX2Makefile, originally from baoshi. This project is included as a submodule.

• Initalise and clone the submodules: git submodule init; git submodule update
• Generate makefile: CubeMX2Makefile/CubeMX2Makefile.py stm32cubemx/
• Try to build the stuff!

cd stm32cubemx
make
