Hello to everybody, as already announced some time ago, we were working on a tutorial whose topic is “Using Open Source Tools for STR7xx Cross Development”. Unfortunately we’ve been quite busy both with work and with studies, so it takes us a lot of time to complete it. Anyway, now it’s ready and you can download it from
http://www.intilinux.com/embedded/530/u … lopment-2/
You will find a brief post dealing with it and a link at the end from which you can download the zip file (pdf + files).
The tutorial covers installation and use of OpenOCD, YAGARTO (GNUARM) and Eclipse both in Windows and in Linux, it comes with templates and other files to help development and there’s also a final appendix dealing with a preliminary study of this solution on STR9xx.
You will find also a chapter which explains every aspect of this work, because the whole thing is still and permanently in development (open-source also means that Smile), so maybe there are errors or things that need to be corrected, in that case every correction is welcome.
To do this work we used as model Jim Lynch’s tutorial for the Atmel AT91SAM7S, however our work is still at its first release and we are only students at their first experience with embedded devices, so we don’t pretend it has the same maturity, it’s only a work which wants to be an help for people who are starting to work on all that material.
We think we won’t have anymore the time to work on it, because it was only a university subject and now we’re doing other things, but we released it under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which means that you can do every change you want and create all the derived works you want from it, you only have to remember to tell that the original work was ours.
Every comment is welcome, so let us know what you think.
Thank you very much to Intilinux, who is so kind to host our work. Regards,
Giacomo (aka l3golas) and Antonio
