Prerequisites (long download + compile)

IMPORTANT!! These steps can easily take 30 MINUTES of downloading and compiling

1. Install basic compiler tools

Mac

# Install XCode Command-Line Tools, if you haven't already
xcode-select --install

Linux

sudo apt install -y git build-essential pkg-config

Windows 10

# Install git, if you don't have it
curl -A MS https://webinstall.dev/git | powershell

# Install vcpkg
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

2. Install rust

Mac, Linux:

  1. Install Rust 
    curl https://webinstall.dev/rust | bash

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

pathman add ~/.cargo/bin

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
  2. Close and re-open your terminal

Note: Follow any on-screen instructions from the rust installer.

We want to make sure that we're all on the same version:

rustup update
rustup toolchain install stable
rustup toolchain install 1.59.0
rustup default 1.59.0

Note: see https://rustup.rs for Windows 10.

FYI: Toolchain Version Locking

Each directory can have its own Rust config. You can explicitly set the version of rust to use for that code.

Let's say you're going to run all of these examples from ~/blue_pill:

mkdir -p ~/blue_pill/
pushd ~/blue_pill/

For this workshop we'll use v1.59.0:

rustup override set 1.59.0

Also, you can explicitly compile a rust program with a particular rust version:

rustup run 1.59.0 \
	cargo install cargo-flash --version 0.12.1

3. Add the ARM Cortex-M toolchain

rustup target install thumbv7m-none-eabi

4. Install the ftdi USB driver

Mac

# Install brew, if you haven't already
curl -sS https://webinstall.dev/brew | bash

# Install libftdi
brew install libftdi

Linux

sudo apt install -y pkg-config libusb-dev libusb-1.0 libftdi1-dev

Windows 10

# Install ftdi
vcpkg install libftdi1:x64-windows-static-md libusb:x64-windows-static-md

5. Install cargo flash for Rust 1.59.0

rustup run 1.59.0 \
	cargo install cargo-flash --version 0.12.1
rustup run 1.59.0 \
	cargo install cargo-embed --version 0.12.0

STOP

Did you read the prerequisites ^^?

Workshop (NOT Prerequisites)

1. Download and Print the schematics

2. Clone the docs repository

mkdir ~/blue_pill/
pushd ~/blue_pill/

git clone https://cgit.pinealservo.com/BluePill_Rust/resources.git ./resources

3. Clone the code repository

mkdir ~/blue_pill/
pushd ~/blue_pill/

git clone https://cgit.pinealservo.com/BluePill_Rust/blue_pill_base ./base/
pushd ./base/

# NOTE: we probably don't need this step now
git reset --hard 5db28da

4. Connect the pill to programmer

The pin order on the programmer may not exactly match the pin order on the board

In most of the parts in the kit, this is what the PIN order looks like:

Blue Pill Programmer (Kit)
GND 3.3v (7,8)
SWCLK GND (5,6)
SWDIO SWDIO (4)
3.3v SWCLK (2)

Example only of programmer pinout (not the same as yours):

DOUBLE CHECK!!!

  • the same color power wire is going to a pin marked 3.3v on both the programmer and the blue pill
  • the same color ground wire is going into a pin marked GND on both

Failure to double check == fried board!

Windows 10 STLink Driver

If you're on Windows 10, be sure to install the STLink driver:

Connect Programmer to Computer

Uncap the programmer and plug into a USB port on your computer.

Again: bad 3.3v or GND connection == fried board!

How to know if it worked?

The blue pill should boot up with both

  • red power light
  • blinking green light

If it does not, it could be that it was not programmed with the "hello, world" application.

--list-probes

cargo flash --list-probes

The following devices were found:
[0]: STLink V2 (VID: 0483, PID: 3748, Serial: nGS8LN, STLink)

Note: If you have multiple STLinks connected, you'll want to edit Embed.toml (or maybe it was Cargo.toml with those values.

Console.app on Mac

If you're on Mac you can open Console.app and searching icdd and stm32 from the top-level logs (your computer name).

Unplug and re-plug the programmer device and you should see something like this:

default	20:01:35.105575 -0600	icdd	#ICDebug - 23:{ICWiredBrowser.m} (USB Device first match)
default	20:01:35.106397 -0600	icdd	#ICDebug - 388:{ICWiredBrowser.m} (8 USB Descriptions Managed)

default	20:01:36.626032 -0600	icdd	#ICDebug - 457:{ICDDMessageCenter.m} (+Add STM32 STLink - 0xff/0xff/0xff - 0x14200000 - ICDeviceDescriptionSUQuery)

5. Build the sample code

pushd utah-rust-blue-pill-code/

# You have two options:

# A) cargo flash (will build and deploy)
cargo flash --release --chip STM32F103C8

# B) cargo embed (will open debug console)
#    (relies on the Embed.toml)
cargo embed --release
#    (you will need to hit ctrl+c to quit)

Peripherals

When you want to answer the question "How do I make x do y?", you'll be looking here:

I2C

Beginning of each transaction sends the address. Only the listener listens.

I2C I Squared C (like USB for microcontrollers)
SDAx Data
SCLx Clock 100kHz (slow) - 400kHz (fast)

SPI

Has chip select.

CS
0x1
1x2
2x4
3x8

Rotary Encoder: Search: stm32 hal rust rotary encoder

Timers

Each timer has certain constraints

TxCxN

Libraries

Lib Desc
rtt_target Real-Time Trace - allows debug even whether or not a debugger is connected
stm32f1xx_hal::pac (SoC Peripherals) Peripheral Access Crate - autogenerated from SVD (like ARM-standardized XML description
cortex_m (core peripherals) pac-style crate defining functionality common to all Cortex-M

Terms

Term Desc
HAL Hardware-Abstraction Layer
SVD XML-description of CPU (such as ARM Cortex-M) or SoC (such as STM32)
NVIC "Nested Vector" Interrupt Controller is how you get a notification to change control. Interrupts bubble up for dispatch.
SYST SysTick (System Timer) a timer in all ARM processors for measuring intervals, sleeping, delaying, etc (OS-level)
---- ---
FPU Changes or observes the way that Math happens. Useful for really low-level debugging. On some CPUs this could be for directly writing numbers and reading results
rcc Reset & Clock Control (reset peripheral is responsible for putting the hardware in a clean state, required even on boot)
push_pull_output Actively tries to pull a signal high or low

Rust / HAL conventions.

Term Desc
take() there's only one of something and can only be had once
constrain() change the shape of an API
freeze() committing to a configuration, for the life of the program
split() tracks pin ownership - rather than all 16 bits, for example
block! used on synchronous calls that could be async (legacy?)

Sometimes random, seemingly unrelated things must be passed around.

  • Why does the clock need access to the clock?

Although the devices know what they need (as they have 1:1 types - such as apb2), it is explicit for the sake avoiding race or locking conditions, and for documentation to the reader.

Cleaning Up

Set the default rust toolchain version back to stable:

rustup default stable
