Well – I got a STM32H743 Nucleo kit yesterday and wanted to autogenerate code for it from CubeMX (or STCubeIDE more exctly) – out of the box – it generates code that DOES NOT COMPILE on an eval kit. Sadly this is not the first time, it has become more the rule than the exception.…
I decided to have a look at the STM32H7x3 series running at 480Mhz. The Nucleo board uses the 144 pin ZI version, but they also have a 100 pin V version. 100 pin is attractive because it gives me access to external memory, Ethernet and more + if I should go for a 100 pin…
I just received HLP-7688A module and looking at the size I must admit that I tempted to create a Switch/Router in Hat format. I am not os sure about the SPI on this, but it has 2 UART’s, so assuming I can control the code on the Linux module this could be interesting with Wifi…
I am slowly getting the SW stack for BasicPI together and wonder if I should implement a minimal shell language based on Plain. I can regardless run a Plain appliction at start-up for configuration, but a shell language means that we are able to connect on a CLI console and write/execute scripts and commands ad-hoc…
In my previous post I mentioned that I lacked doc – I notified the seller and a few hours later I got it – thank you. The doc was actually available on the net, but in 9 of 10 times I contact Asian sellers they actually respond quick and with care. Well done!
I just received an Eport Pro-EP10 and must admit that I am impressed about the form factor. This is a standard RJ45 just a little longer than a normal RJ45. but with a full Linux computer, RJ45 Ethernet and UART on the other end. It should run OpenWRT, but setting up the toolchain is a…
A MCU like STM32F405 have multiple serial devices and though their hardware is very different they perform the same job of sending/receiving ino. alStream is a base class for all components with a serial stream interface like USB, UART, CAN, SPI, I2C and even UDP/Ethernet. The objective is to provide a uniform messaging service where…
The most obvious Hat to use HLK-7688A on is a Ethernet Switch or Router with SPI backbone support. I have ordered a dev unit so I can test out this possibility. The Ethernet switch part is very straight forward, I also see a very decent SPI, but I need to dig a bit more into…
Linux started seeing a serious increased usage in embedded projects with raspberry PI due to it’s availability and low cost. And the last years have provided a large number of low cost embedded Linux solutions. They are getting smaller, more powerfully and decreasing in cost making them very attractive in projects. Raspberry PI might still…
I have struggled a little to find an IDE I was OK with, but finally settled with STCubeIDE or Eclipse as it actually is. This is IMO one of the smarter moves that ST have done to support their MCU’s. The editor is “ok”, it compiles, download allow you to debug multiple targets + I…
