stm32F429i Disco start programming

Post by stefan.erni »

Hi Ben

I have a stm32F429i Disco board.

http://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/3 ... overy.html

I loaded the 32F429Discovery as target.
Can I program it with the USB Port?
Or what do I need to program it with FC7?

Hello,

With the board connected via USB you should get a mass storage device appearing in the My Computer location.

Simply use the compile to chip button and Flowcode will compile and program the device for you by placing the compiled file into the drive for you.

Hopefully should be fairly plug and play.

Let us know if you're having any problems.

Hi Ben

Thank You for the infos.

I have an error -NODE_F board is not connected-

If I rename the bord-drive to NODE_F then its working. Strange thing is after a while the drive change the Name again to "DIS_F429ZI"

Hi Ben

It's a nice program this flowcode7.
So easy to program the Display and Touchscreen.
After few minutes it's working.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for letting us know. I have changed the definition file slightly so it should correctly point to the "DIS_F429ZI" drive name now.

Simply copy the attached file into your "Flowcode 7/FCD/ARM" folder and restart Flowcode for the changes to be loaded.

That's great news, glad you're getting on well with it. We have plans to hopefully support more and more on these boards as they are very nice to work with and most of the code is already available in the ST C library.
