Generate own FCDX Processor Description

[eSYS.co]

We use the very new STM32F730R8. Is it possible to generate a own FCDX file for the STM32F730R8 ?

We have generate a testfile and insert it to the "FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARM" Folder.

But Flowcode don`t show this in the "Chose a Target" Structure. Is there a additional File or Registry ?

Thank you for Help,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I'm currently looking into the feasibility of supporting this device for you,
it might need a new header package too.

Hello Leigh,
thank you very much for fast response.

Thats great, because this type of Microcontroller is a very cheap and with more than 200 Mhz also powerfull controller.
So i think thats a famous Type for future Designes.

Best regards

Hi Andreas,
I’ve made a start on the FCD, but it might be a while before I have chance to complete it.
As you were interested in generating your own FCD, perhaps you would like to use this as a starting point and see how you get on?
I’ve based it on another device, so the peripheral pin mapping might not be correct.
But if you find errors and correct them please keep us posted and I’ll merge in with any changes that I do.
The attached FCD file needs to go into C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARM
It will then be visible in the selection list (re-start Flowcode)
As I suspected though, the device headers are not included with our current toolchain.
So you will need to download the latest STM32CubeF7 firmware zip from st.com
(stm32cube_fw_f7_v1150.zip)
If you then extract just the Drivers sub-directory and overwrite the directory in our installation at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 8\Compilers\STARM\stm32cubef7\Drivers
All should be well.
