OpenCM9.04 & Visual Micro Debugging about opencm9.04 HOT 7 CLOSED

@OpusK

Thank you, I will test your advised method. It is a different IDE, but we can change to a new IDE if it allows for debugging. I will report back after we test.

Hello,

The Visual Micro Admin is correct. VM does work with debugging on the OpenCM9.04. I got it working tonight. For anyone else who finds this thread looking to also use VM with the OpenCM9.04 you can see the thread here:

I wanted to also leave a note that you can use the dual serial port feature so that you can debug on Serial2 while a separate program is communicating through the main SerialUSB. The guide for it is here:

Hi, @mtrossen

Visual Micro's debugging method is using a serial device. For the ARM core, DAPLink using CMSIS-DAP must be supported, but unfortunately, OpenCM 9.04 does not.
Therefore, it seems that there is no way to use Visual Micro at this time.

OpenCM supports only ST's debugging method.
How to debug stm32 chips in VS(not Visual Micro) is like this link.

Hi @OpusK

Thank you for the reply. I will look into this solution you have suggested.

I have a few questions:

1. We are developing front end software to communicate with our firmware on the OpenCM9.04 over USB serial on windows PC. Would your suggested solution allow for debugging at the same time as another software is communicating with the board on USB serial? Or could it be set up to use two different serial ports like in Visual Micro?

2. Is the difference because Visual Micro is for ARM chips and the OpenCM9.04 is using different chips?

Thank you for your help!

@mtrossen,

1. At present, there is no official solution.
   However, I think using EclipseIDE(please refer to Sloeber for Arduino) is enough. Or it seems to be possible in the way I linked above. (Debug with ST-Link, check data with USB)

2. OpenCM 9.04 also uses ARM core. The difference is that OpenCM 9.04 does not support DAPLink.
   To support this, a separate MCU must be connected, which is not possible because it means OpenCM9.04 hardware change.

Visual Micro uses serial debug but sometimes needs to know the underlying class of the Serial or a.n.o debug object. In this case adding a board.txt to your project with the following setting will solve the "Debug" build issue.

vm.debug.class_type=VM_DEBUGGER_TYPE_USARTSERIAL

Thanks for the post and all the comments
