• Using Debian version buster/sid
• Install on Win10 PC with Virtualbox
  • ARM toolchain for Linux
  • GDB
  • Eclipse
  • Check installation with test project

See https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/toolchain/arm/install/ for general explanations

• Download the latest Linux install tarball file from ARMDeveloper
• Link to download: https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads
• Assuming downloaded file is in /home/gerd/Downloads, open terminal with user gerd:

$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/opt
$ cd ${HOME}/opt
$ tar xjf ~/Downloads/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major-linux.tar.bz2 
$ chmod -R -w /home/gerd/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major/  

• Test if the compiler is functional; use the actual install path:

$ /home/gerd/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc-7.2.1 --version

• Output should be like this:

arm-none-eabi-gcc-7.2.1 (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 7-2017-q4-major) 7.2.1 20170904 (release) [ARM/embedded-7-branch revision 255204]

Check that GDB is installed in your Linux distribution by entering

$ gdb

The output should look like this:

GNU gdb (Debian 7.12-6+b1) 7.12.0.20161007-git

If missing install with

apt-get install gdb

• Latest GNU MCU OpenOCD binaries can be found here.
• This leads e.g. to these binary files

Installation:

$ cd ${HOME}/opt
$ tar xvf ~/Downloads/gnu-mcu-eclipse-openocd-0.10.0-7-20180123-1217-centos64.tgz
$ chmod -R -w gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/0.10.0-7-20180123-1217

Check OpenOCD installation:

$ ${HOME}/opt/gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/0.10.0-7-20180123-1217/bin/openocd --version

Output should be something like this:

GNU MCU Eclipse 64-bits Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0+dev-00404-g20463c28 (2018-01-23-12:24)

Install UDEV rules for USB OpenOCD probes:

# cp ${HOME}/opt/gnu-mcu-eclipse/openocd/0.10.0-7-20180123-1217/contrib/60-openocd.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
# udevadm control --reload-rules
# usermod -aG plugdev $USER

Install OpenOCD Debugging plugin, see here

Update OpenOCD path, see here

In Virtualbox make sure the STM-link/V2 adapter is connected through to virtual machine (check machine settings→USB)

In Eclipse hit green “Debug” button.

• Install Eclipse and CDT
• Download GNU MCU Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers from GitHub Releases
• Releases are archived here: See https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/org.eclipse.epp.packages/releases/
• Download latest release. At time of writing this is https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/org.eclipse.epp.packages/releases/download/v4.3.2-20180125-o2/20180125-1917-gnumcueclipse-4.3.2-oxygen-2-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz

$ cd /home/gerd/opt/
$ mkdir GnuMcuEclipse
$ cd GnuMcuEclipse/
$ tar xvf /home/gerd/Downloads/20180125-1917-gnumcueclipse-4.3.2-oxygen-2-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz 

Make the GNU Arm toolchain location known to Eclipse in Project→Properties→C/C++ Build→Environment→PATH. add the path to GCC here (in this example we would add /home/gerd/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major/bin ).

• Launch eclipse to test installation

/home/gerd/opt/GnuMcuEclipse/eclipse/eclipse 

• Build a test project to see if all ok https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/tutorials/blinky-arm/
