Dear members,
I have pasted all my codes.. in the link above The GPIO.h,.c files are 100percent working fine I have checked with other peripheral projects. The delay function also works correctly tested for led blink..
Now I am stuck in LCD program only..
My main aim is to just display 1 character I have gone through datasheet and forums and have taken everyones's suggestion accurately I still can't figure out what's wrong with my program..
I have tried this LCD board for arduino program it works there.
Also I have checked voltage specifications and all pin's connected are 5v Tolerant as per stm32 datasheet.
Please can someone figure out whta I may be doing wrong..
Your suggestions may help me..
I would be greateful..

I am using a STM32F030F4P6 MCU and a LCD 2004 with PCF8574T I2C display driver. I have tried the library from this tutorial: https://controllerstech.com/interface-lcd-16x2-with-stm32-without-i2c/. I have found a datasheet for the PCF8574T device, but there are no commands specified in there. I am quite new in the field, but I already communicated with other devices over I2C and SPI and got them to work. Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong, or at least show me where to get a datasheet with commands for the device? I am sorry in advance if this is a noob question.
As already mentioned, PCF8574T - is an i2c expander. So you need to write a driver which manipulates data pins on PCF8574T in way described in tutorial you found.
Check the arduino code for this type of LCD. It may save your time/ https://github.com/fdebrabander/Arduino-LiquidCrystal-I2C-library
If you have an Arduino board, you can test your LCD according this tutorial https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/Arnov_Sharma_makes/lcd-i2c-tutorial-664e5a
Nice to know that your device still alive before debug the code.
Good day
The problem:
I am trying to connect/flash/debug a Olimax STM32-E407 dev board over SWD and I am not able
When trying to connect, using CubeProgrammer, I get: "No STM32 Target Found"
What I have tried:
I have connected a ST-link V3 mini to the pinout of the the 20pin header of the Olimax board including 3.3V, GND, SWDIO (PA13/Pin7), SWCLK (PA14/Pin9) and NRST (Pin15).
I am powering the powering the board from a power supply into the power jack
All jumpers and solder bridges are in stock places.
I have also tried manually pulling NRST to ground and doing a full chip erase, but that has not worked either.
I have used these ST-link debuggers on other boards I made and it works perfectly fine
I have 3 Olimax boards and none of them work
Any help would he hugely appreciated.
Debugging problems on microcontrollers have two general common methodes.
Hardware Problems:
In this part, it is highly recommended that use an oscilloscope to monitor circuit.
Make sure the microcontroller is powered with a correct and stable power supply.
Check the soldering quality and there is no short circuit on the board (especially between ground pins and other pins).
Check the NRST pin is high when the board is powered.
Remember that this reset is active low so during programming or debugging this pin should be high. Also, check this pin is debounced with a capacitor.
Also you can check the JTAG pins signals with an Oscilloscope to check if the programmer device is working fine.
Sometimes adding a capacitor between debugging pins and GND increases the bus capacitance and solves the problem. The value of the capacitor should be found by trying.
Software Problems
Check the programmer driver is correctly installed on your PC.
Check the programming method is true(for example maybe the board is designed to be programmed with SWD, not JATG).
Sometimes reducing the programming clock of the programmer solved the problem.
If all of these methods didn't work and you are sure that the board is fine, probably the programmer is broken, so change the programmer with another one.
I have designed and assembled a PCB. All connections are fine and leds are blinking when i open the CUBEMX. But I don't know what to do after this point. Do I need to put some drivers before using DFU?
If so, i don't have an ST-LINK Programmer how can i use the only input for this pcb (which is PB11,PB12 as AN2662 suggests). Its also interesting that device is responding to CubeMX . Does device has any code in it?

Your question is not clear. But i will try to answer to your question with my understanding from the question. First thing that you need to find the datasheet of mcu. Now, you can able to find related pins for programming. Using these pins, you can program your hw.
if you want to put dfu mode to your hw, Please check "Application Note 2606 STM32 microcontroller system memory boot mode".
Also, i wrote post about system memory bootloader, here is the link: https://engineeringvolkan.wordpress.com/2020/05/08/1928/
If I understood well, you want to learn how to upload code into your uC. If you are not familiar with DFU, I suggest that you can use ST LINK V2. However, the important point is whether, or not you put output terminals for SW pins (SWDIO, NRST, SWCLK, SWO).
For the DFU, you should check Bootloader properties and bootloader configurations specifcally related to your uC. After these, you can watch this video EEVBlog STM32 DFU and inspire from it.
I hope you can help me. I am trying to build a robot but I am kind of stuck. The Arduino Mega is controlling the stepper motors drivers of the robot. The odroid-x is a single board computer that has installed linaro ubuntu and eclipse c++. All the programming is done in C++ and OpenCV is an image processing library.
The odroid-x has only as input a color camera. Therefore, the information from the camera is received and is processed in eclipse. Then, according to the information that is received, the odroid-x should send different integers to the arduino. The arduino should have a program already uploaded in itself, so it will be waiting for an integer and that integer is going to determine what the arduino is going to send to the drivers.
My questions are the following:
How can I do a serial communication between the arduino and the odroid-x?
How can I send information from eclipse to the arduino with a serial connection?
Thanks so much for any guide you can give me
First, be very, very, very careful. The ODROID boards use 1.8V signalling, so hooking up your 3.3V or 5V Arduino to the pins that expect no more than 1.8V will give you a burnt ODROID-X. It is possible to hook these two boards together if you put a level converter between them, and Sparkfun and Adafruit have some of those converters available. There is even a 1.8V reference voltage pin available... one of the pins that go to the LCD panel RGB-to-LVDS converter board puts out a constant 1.8V.
You could use either the four pins of the little white connector, or UART1, as a serial port, or you can use some of the pins in the 50-pin GPIO block as UART4. There are board schematics available on Hardkernel's website. These two UARTs show up as /dev/ttySAC0 (UART1) and /dev/ttySAC3 (UART4).
I don't know how to talk to those UARTs from a program, personally, but I know there are serial communications libraries available for python from watching threads pop up on the ODROID forums.
I am using a USB device from FTDI called FT4232H and I want to write on the EEPROM to make sure that some pins are set to inputs at start. I am using the D2XX drivers (pdf here). Here I found at page 106 that there is a struct called FT_EEPROM_4232H. Could this be something to use to make sure the pins are set to inputs at the beginning or is this totaly wrong? There are four UCHAR variables called A-, B-, C- and DDriverType. Does anyone know what these should be used for?
I realise this question is 3 months old now but I believe pins on the FTx232H series of chips only get set as GPIO once the MPSSE command SetOutput is issued.
The EEPROM configuration is used to define things like drive strength, slew rate and whether the pin is a schmitt input and what each of the 4 ports are set up to be (async FIFO akin to FT245 series, serial port (FT232), etc).
If anyone else can disprove this, I would be interested to know also!
I just plugged my FT232H board in my PC and ran FTDI FT_Prog, it does not appears you can control the GPIO mode input/output at start time. There is nothing in the FTDI FT_Prog UI that allow to set a mode for GPIO pins and set them as input.
I did set programmatically my FT232H board as an SPI device with 8 GPIOS
but this was done after the chip was started.
A video experimenting with the FT232H
I also once asked FTDI support a similar question for the FT232RL which is as default a UART and I asked if there was a way to configure the chip to start in Synchronous bit banging mode and set the GPIOs as OUTPUT. The answer was no.
The FT232RL will always start as a UART and then by software I can activate Synchronous bit banging mode, and set the mode of my GPIO.
I suppose it is the same for the FT232H, FT2232H and FT4232H.
