New ST web site => New Broken Link Problem!

All links to the ST Evaluation boards and other material are not working after ST has published its new site.

I'm working to restore those links. Sorry for the inconvenient.

Ready for Eclipse Helios

All STM32 based demo are now tested with Eclipse Helios.

I have also added the GNU ARM MBS Plugin support. Each workspace contains now two projects. One is configured as a Makefile project (as usual until now). The other project (which name ends with "_mbs") is configured as a managed build project. This means that the Makefile is automatically managed by Eclipse. Add a source file to the project and Eclipse build it. Use the Settings section of the project properties dialog to modify the build option like compiler optimization and so on.


Both projects share the same source file.

The Eclipse Managed Build Sytem (MBS)

Wooow! I found an open source Eclipse Plugin that extend the Managed Build System for the CodeSourcery tool-chain. It is a great job. For more information look at the GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-in in this web page.

This plug-in allows to build embedded ARM applications, using the managed project features of Eclipse CDT, i.e. there is no need to manually create and maintain a makefile.

I tested it with my C++ Demo.

It's time for a new evolution in the embedded developers world

How to add more design pattern to FreeRTOS.org? How to make easier the multitasking development? What is the next step in the embedded developers world?

I think that C++ is the answer. The today MCU are powerful enough, in term of memory, to profitable the Object Oriented approach for firmware development.

I'm working at a set of class that expose the FreeRTOS features. This is the first step to develop more design pattern useful to build embedded application.

Look at my demo page Multitasking meets C++ in the embedded world for more details.

...It is only the beginning! :-)

Formun service down (Updated)

The Forum service (hosted by hostingphpbb.com) is down from many days.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[UPDATE] The service is on... again! :-)
