Excellent! What about the startup assembly files? I see an equivalent,
it is autogenerated too?

Nope, those were created manually (from Jeppe), the one relevant for the STM32L432KC is cortexm4f_start.inc
It will automagically be included when you add definitions for the chip.

I will send you the file for that chip via pm, you will also have to tweak
compiler/systems/t_embed.pas compiler/arm/cpuinfo.pas but this is pretty
straightforward, only extend both structs for the processors.

Yes, I forgot about this, but it does sound easy. Which chip?

STM32L432KC

if you plan to some some serious development I can provide you a patch file for including the whole stm32l4 family


There is a second class of Headerfiles that were done half automated (afaik)
by Jeppe Johansen that covers the STM32F7 series. Those Headers more closely
match the STM32 code C-code examples but are a lot less portable to other
chips (Microchip etc...)

Where are these?
Take a look at github:

https://github.com/Laksen/fp-stm32f7xx_hal

great for stm32f7, but changing this to stm32l4 is a heroic effort ;-)


I have some interest in exploring a wide variety of platforms with
FPC. When doing so using C, I have unfortunately found that
portability only half-exists between chips of the same family from the
same manufacturer.

My interest in FPC is partly an interest in increased portability, but
that may need to be achieved in some other way than a HAL. This may be
due to how peripheral mappings are supplied. Perhaps there is a better
way I do not know about. Large projects such as
https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware manage.

I have done my own platform independant lib for stm32(f0)/f1/f3/f4 and pic32 with a focus on low memory consumption, if you are interested I can put it on github, still some loose ends as I only have implemented what I needed.


I will be following up with you off list, since you do not seem to mind.

let's stay on list, there are others like Christo who may be interested.

Hello list,

I'd like some pointers on generating the RTL files for a processor I
am interested in, the STM32L432KC (which is available for ~$15 with
JTAG on a "Nucleo" board from STMicroelectronics).

The CMSIS (Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard) files,
as they come from STM, use structures to represent the registers. The
example RTL files for STM devices seem to follow this pattern fairly
well, but I would like to know about any discrepancies; I opened one
file and think it was structured more closely to the way libopencm3
does things, but I can't find it again. This may have been the file
for the NXP part listed on the Wiki.


How much was converted by hand, and how much can be automated? M4
devices are noticeably more complicated, and even though this is a
hobby project I am worried about the time investment required to get
my device working with FPC.

What complicates things is the way libopencm3 has their headers
structures is more standard. They avoid using structures that
represent the registers, instead using faux namespacing with lots of
underscores in macro names.

Cheers,
       R0b0t1
