hi!
I recently begin with the book and I wanted to follow the full recommended procedure, so I installed eclipse (was neon instead of mars) and everything else. But it didn’t work! Previously I was playing with the ARM GNU plug-in and his recommendations of install and configure, (but Carmine’s way leads to a lighter install witch runs a bit faster, so I prefer it) with his instructions I was able to have my led blinking, then I tried to realize what’s the difference and it was the packages, note here the packages definitions must be updated and take hours to complete.
Carmine: you don’t talk about packages, but when I loaded them and select the right package for my processor the program works. It’s really necessary or I’m doing some other thing wrong and the packages are solving it in a mysterious ways?Hi,
I’ve released an update of the book few days ago. It contains updated installation instruction for the Eclipse Neon release (but nothing is changed, if I remember correctly).I’ve decided to not cover packs installation in the second chapter to avoid confusion to the readers. Packs are especially useful if you want to access peripheral registers during debug, and I’ll show how to use them in a future chapter about advanced debugging. Being this book all about CubeMX, it doesn’t matter using packs to generate project templates (unless you know what you are doing and know how to adapt your project easily).
hi!
I cannot see any update on the book, the only version I can get from leanpub is 0.13, and this version has instructions for eclipse mars. I’m loosing something?
Anyway, I tried all over again, installed everything from the beginning and discovered the mistake: I was not saving the file BlinkLed.h (the pin and port has to be changed from the 3,12 to 0,5) before build, and this is it! it works now in Neon with arm-gcc 5.4 (without packs), I have no idea why it works when I added packs before.
Hi,
Yes the latest version of the book is 0.13 and I’ve checked carefully and references to “Mars” shouldn’t be there. Probably you see screen captures that are related to the “Mars version”. I’ll update them more in advance. However, installation instructions are almost the same (probably some URL may change).
