Installing the ARM Toolchain

Installation

I am using Linux (Fedora 23 – February 2016). I need to install the following packages using dnf.

arm-none-eabi-binutils-cs

arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs

arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs-c++

arm-none-eabi-gdb

arm-nome-eabi-newlib

Once installed there is a Getting Started guide to using the BMP on GitHub https://github.com/blacksphere/blackmagic/wiki/Getting-Started

Linking target to BMP (SWD)

Power target separately but connect so they have a common ground connection.

BMP		TARGET
VCC1		VCC2
A5	<->	SWDCLK
A4	<->	SWDIO
GND	<->	GND

Connect BMP to Target

1 STM32F1 medium density

(gdb) attach 1 Attaching to Remote target 0x08000174 in ?? () (gdb)

From this point I need to be more familiar with GDB to go any further. With the SWD connection via the BMP it should be possible to upload firmware to the target. This will follow the next stage of getting everything needed to compile a program in place. I have the tools to perform the compilation but need to obtain a few more bits and pieces before I can do so.
