STM32 Environment Setup
This page will guide you through configuring the development environment for STM32 to work with LibXR, CodeGenerator, and XRobot.
Windows Setup
Required packages:
Linux Setup
Required packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git python3 python3-pip cmake tar xz-utils wget pipx ninja-build
Download the appropriate toolchain from the ARM official website.
For example, if you are using x64 Linux, download the AArch32 bare-metal target (arm-none-eabi) under x86_64 Linux hosted cross toolchains.
This will be a file like: arm-gnu-toolchain-14.2.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.tar.xz.
After extraction, move the toolchain to /opt and create a symbolic link /usr/local/arm-gnu-toolchain-14.2.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.
You will then be able to use commands with the arm-none-eabi- prefix, such as arm-none-eabi-gcc.
Symlink command:
sudo ln -s /opt/arm-gun-toolchain-xx.x/bin/* /usr/bin
Using Clang Compiler (Optional)
Windows
Download and install LLVM. Make sure the version is 18.1 or above.
Linux
You can install it using apt. Ensure the version is 18.1 or above (versions in Ubuntu before 24.04 might be outdated):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y clang clangd
IDE Configuration
All IDEs need to configure the STM32CubeCLT path. CLion also requires OpenOCD.
VSCode
Use the official STM32 extension (STMicroelectronics.stm32-vscode-extension) to import and build the project.
CLion
Create a new project in CLion, choose STM32CubeMX, and import the generated project.
