ARM programming 2: Creating New C file project in Keil 5

Creating New C file project in Keil 5

I assume that Keil 5 is already installed. 

if not download the IDE. It will ask to fillout form. It will take not more than 5 minutes. LEt us jump into 1000ARMS. Below are the steps.

Steps

Open Keil Application. Go to Project --> New uVision Project

Create a New folder. Let us call the new project as FirstProj. Save it

Choose the MCU. Since, it is STM32L4764G on Nucleo board, choose the same

In this Window, select two basic files to be attached to the project. CMSIS Core contains definitions of all registers of the selected MCU. Startup file is the preprogram which runs before control enters main program.It takes care of memory allocation, variable definition and other stuff.

Collapse Target 1

Right Click on Source Group and select Add new item

give your C file a name. let us say project.c

double click the project.c file just added to write some code

write some code

build the code. No errors :)

Let us tell Keil which board we have and settings we wish to use

go to Debug, select ST link debugger. ST link debugger is the second MCU on the board close to USB connector, which takes care of programming our actual MCU of interest and also helps in debugging.

Just the properties view of ST link programmer we have selected

Click on Debug to enter Debug mode.

If you are reading this post, probably you will get this too. Ignore.

Build output Window. Notice, Erase and programming has happened successfully.

To execute code step by step

viewing variables just to verify.

If you are able to program and verify this the code, Congratulations! Please leave comments if you find there is an error on the blog or if you are facing some problem. Do not worry if you did not understand each and every step. I too do not know much. Further posts will gradually help us learn more.
