atom-stlink - stlink V2 integration for Atom

This package allows you to flash your STM32/stlink V2 device from within Atom using stlink. It is meant as an extension to the build-med to allow flashing the results from the mbed-cli build process.

Features

  • Configuration dialog to configure target file, board serial etc. on per project basis (configuration is written to stlink_settings.json).
  • Flash .hex or .bin file
  • Erase flash

Prerequisites

To use stlink, make sure you installed the st-flash and st-info binaries on your system. See instructions here on how to get the binaries.

apm install stlink

Or install from git:

cd $HOME/$MY_GIT_REPOS
git clone https://github.com/wendlers/atom-stlink

Change into the newly cloned directory and link the package into your atom install:

Now, when you start your atom next time, you might be asked to install the some dependencies.

Usage

Quick Start

  • Connect your board
  • Open a project for your board in Atom. Compile it to a .hex or .bin file (if you use mbed-cli and like to compile directly from Atom, you might want to try the build-med package).
  • Configure stlink for your project by opening the stlink panel with shift+alt+p (or from right click menu and selecting stlink: toggle).
  • In the configuration panel at least specify a file to flash (and a address if a .bin file is used).
  • Now hit flash or press shift-alt-s to flash your board.
  • Flashing progress is indicated by the spinning busy indicator in the right bottom corner.

Configuration Parameters

The following could be set in the stlink panel:

  • The board serial which is only needed if you have more than one board connected.
  • The file to flash. Could be a .bin or .hex file.
  • If the reset switch is turned on, the board will be reset after flashing is done.

In the package settings the following could be configured:

  • st-flash binary : name and optional path for the st-flash tool which comes with stlink.
  • st-info binary : name and optional path for the st-info tool which comes with stlink.

Available Functions

The following functions could be performed (from the stlink panel,the menu, the context-menu or by keyboard shortcut):

  • toggel stlink panel (shift+alt+p): open the stlink panel
  • flash (shift-alt-s): flash specified file
  • erase (shift-alt-e): erase chip
