+
+How to run RTEMS on the board
+-----------------------------
+Following few paragraphs save a purpose of simple HOWTO or a quick
+starting guide for the users not versed in STM32 toolchain and their
+boards workflow.
+
+Board hardware setup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Connect board with the host computer using micro-USB cable connected
+to micro-USB connector on the board marked with 'ST-LINK V3E' in case of evaluation
+and discovery boards or with 'USB PWR' in case of Nucleo board.
+
+STM32CubeIDE installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Download and install STM32CubeIDE from
+https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html. Install the
+software into the user directory. On Linux install with 'sudo' command
+to install as a root since as part of the installation USB permissions
+rules for ST-Link GDB server are also installed. The reason for
+installing into the user directory is that the IDE is based on
+Eclipse, which provides
+its own update method and this will not work well in case of read-only
+access to the installation directory. In case of any troubles consult
+installation manual provided by ST here https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/um2563-stm32cubeide-installation-guide-stmicroelectronics.pdf.
+Although we will not used full fledged IDE here, the package provides ST-Link GDB Server which will be used for uploading RTEMS binaries to the board
+memory.
+
+STM32CubeProgrammer installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Download and install STM32CubeProgrammer from
+https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html. We will
+use this software for board setup required for RTEMS and later when
+something goes wrong to delete content of the MCU flash memory. The
+software is also internally used by the ST-Link GDB Server from
+STM32CubeIDE so it is crucial to have it installed.
+
+Board ST-Link firmware upgrade
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Download ST-Link board firmware upgrade package from
+https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html. The
+software is distributed in a form of Java jar file for Linux and Mac
+OSX and in a form of Windows binary for MS Windows. Unpack it
+somewhere and run it with
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ unzip en.stsw-link007-v3-9-3_v3.9.3.zip
+ $ cd stsw-link007/AllPlatforms
+ $ java -jar STLinkUpgrade.jar
+
+Click on *Open in update mode* button and then if *Version* and *Update
+to Firmware* version information are different in shown version number/code, click on *Upgrade*
+button and wait till upgrade finishes.
+
+.. note: On Linux you will need to have libusb library installed in
+ order to make upgrade process working. On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS you can do
+ that with following command.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0
+
+
+Dual core board setup for RTEMS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Current RTEMS BSP supports
+running MCU in a single-core mode only on either M7 core or M4
+core. That means that to not leave other core interfering with the
+system we either need to upload short infinite loop code to it or we
+may switch off the core completely. The second option is what is
+described here. The board by default switches on and starts both
+cores. Based on chosen BSP variant you may like to switch off other
+core with using STMCubeProgrammer tool.
+Go to the directory where you have installed STMCubeProgrammer
+software and run it with
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ cd bin
+ $ ./STM32CubeProgrammer
+
+
+.. important:: It is absolutely necessary you will do that from inside the bin
+ directory where STM32CubeProgrammer binary resides. If you don't, then
+ programmer UI will crash on attempt to connect to the board. Probable
+ reason is a bug in the programmer which is not able to correctly locate
+ its C dynamic library responsible for connecting to the ST-Link board
+ interface. Version 2.9.0 of the programmer is described here. Other
+ versions may behave a bit differently.
+
+When you start the programmer application, the UI window of the programmer will
+appear.
+Click on green *Connect* button in the right upper corner of
+the UI. This will connect programmer to the board.
+Then click on *OB*
+icon in the left upper corner. Actually this is hidden menu item which you
+can un-hide by clicking on menu icon (three horizontal stripes) in the
+upper left corner.
+When you click on *OB* or *Option bytes* in un-hidden state, then
+click on *User Configuration* in the options list and when the user
+configuration list opens
+unselect preselected *BCM4* item inside it to switch off M4 core or
+unselect preselected *BCM7* item to switch off M7 core from
+starting up. The action needs to be saved by clicking on *Apply* button
+below the option table.
+
+.. warning:: Be careful! Wrong setup in STM32H7 configuration may result in
+ *bricked* board.
+
+Do not forget to disconnect the programmer application from the board by clicking on green *Disconnect* button
+in the upper right corner and then close the programmer UI.
+
+.. important:: If you keep programmer connected then you will not be able
+ to connect ST-Link GDB server to the board and upload RTEMS binary to
+ it.
+
+
+STM32CubeIDE ST-Link GDB Server setup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In order to use STM provided ST-Link GDB server externally, that is
+not from inside the IDE, we need to configure it. Please go to the
+directory where you have installed STM32CubeIDE software. Look for
+file containing *ST-LINK* string inside its name. Following shell
+command sequence shows example about how to find it.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ cd $HOME/sfw/stm32cubeide_1.8.0
+ $ find . -name 'ST-LINK*'
+ ./plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.linux64_2.0.200.202202231230/tools/bin/ST-LINK_gdbserver.sh
+ ./plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.linux64_2.0.200.202202231230/tools/bin/ST-LINK_gdbserver
+ ./plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.linux64_2.0.100.202109301221/tools/bin/ST-LINK_gdbserver.sh
+ ./plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.linux64_2.0.100.202109301221/tools/bin/ST-LINK_gdbserver
+
+Notice that in this particular installation case we already have two
+versions of GDB server installed. This is due to fact that version
+1.8.0 of the IDE was later upgraded to 1.9.0 version. Anyway, we will choose
+to use the latest one, or if there is only one, then the only one
+installed. Please go to its *bin* directory. E.g.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ cd plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.linux64_2.0.200.202202231230/tools/bin
+
+Now, you will need to edit provided *config.txt* file inside the
+directory. Use your favorite editor. Open the file and scrolls
+down to its end. You will see following comment:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ###############################################################
+ # -cp <path> : Path to STM32CubeProgrammer
+ # Modify to correct path
+ # for STM32_Programmer_CLI executable
+ ###############################################################
+ -cp
+
+and here you will need to place path where your STM32CubeProgrammer is
+installed directly behind the *-cp* parameter. E.g.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ###############################################################
+ # -cp <path> : Path to STM32CubeProgrammer
+ # Modify to correct path
+ # for STM32_Programmer_CLI executable
+ ###############################################################
+ -cp /home/karel/sfw/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.cubeprogrammer.linux64_2.0.200.202202231230/tools/bin
+
+Once you are done with it, you can save the file and close the
+editor. Let's verify that GDB server is configured and running well by starting
+it inside the shell. Please go inside the directory where
+ST-LINK_gdbserver.sh is located and run it by:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ ./ST-LINK_gdbserver.sh
+
+If everything is all right and if you have board still connected to
+the host computer then you should see output like following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ ./ST-LINK_gdbserver.sh

+RTEMS BSP samples build and run
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+We will use STM32H747I-DISCO board as an example hereafter. If you use
+different board please adjust configuration steps in BSP configuration
+accordingly. You should use BSP variant name specified for your
+particular board in the table above.
+
+Generate default configuration for the board:

+
+ $ ./waf bsp_defaults --rtems-bsps=arm/stm32h747i-disco > stm32h747i-disco.ini
+ Regenerate build specification cache (needs a couple of seconds)...
+
+To run basic hello world or ticker samples you do not need to modify
+default BSP configuration here as the compilation of basic RTEMS demo samples is
+enabled by default. Let's continue with configuration of
+the RTEMS source by running following command. Please change the RTEMS
+tools installation prefix to suite your installation.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+

+ $ ./waf build
+
+the command outputs a lot of information about files being compiled
+and ends with output like:

+ 'build_arm/stm32h747i-disco' finished successfully (12.086s)
+
+As your RTEMS BSP including samples is compiled, we will proceed with
+running the hello world sample on the board now.
+Open 3 shell windows for the test on the host computer. Also make sure
+board is connected to the computer and is running. It does not matter
+if manufacturer's demo is running there or if you navigated to some
+demo part and left it there. ST-Link GDB server always takes over the
+board when connected to it.
+
+Start GDB server in the first window by switching to GDB server
+directory and running the shell script. This is from testing machine
+installation, the path to GDB server will probably look different in your
+installation case.

+In second shell window you will need to run your terminal program and
+connect to the board virtual serial port. Following steps describes
+how to do that on the Ubuntu 20.04. The recommended way here is to use minicom. Let's install it
+first by:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ sudo apt install minicom
+
+And run it with root privileges to be able to reach USB serial port
+provided by board:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ sudo minicom -s
+
+The minicom is invoked with configuration menu open. Go into the
+*Serial port setup* and hit *a* key to select *Serial Device*
+setup. Change */dev/modem* from there into */dev/ttyACM0* and hit
+*Enter* key. Hit *f* key to change hardware flow control from *Yes* to
+*No*. When you are done with it, you can hit *Enter* key to finish
+this part of configuration and then scrolls in menu to *Exit* and hit
+*Enter* key on it. The minicom will switch to terminal mode with just
+provided configuration.
+
+In the third shell window navigate into the BSP build directory and start
+RTEMS GDB with the hello.exe sample.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ arm-rtems6-gdb build/arm/stm32h747i-disco/testsuites/samples/hello.exe

+How to load binary file into the QSPI NOR
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Connect the board to your host computer using micro-USB
+cable. Start STM32CubeProgrammer and connect it to the board by
+clicking on *Connect* button which is located in the right upper
+corner of the programmer application UI. For accessing QSPI connected
+memory you will need to configure programmer's external loader which
+needs to match your target board. Click on *EL* icon (or *External
+loaders*) in the left sidebar menu. Either go thorough the list of
+external loaders or just search for your board by typing board
+name (or part of the name) into the search bar located on top of the table view. When
+you find your board, select it by selecting rectangle in the *Select*
+table column. That's what is needed to make programmer ready to
+program your board memory.
+For uploading file to the board, you need to continue with clicking on
+*Erase & programming* menu item in the left sidebar menu. It's second item
+from the top. Now, let's select
+your file to upload by clicking on *Browse* button and selecting the
+file name from your host computer filesystem. The most important thing here is
+to specify start address of flashing process. You need to do that by
+typing start address into the *Start address* field.
+
+.. note:: Usually external memory connected to QSPI has 0x90000000 starting
+ address.
+
+When all is set you can click on *Start Programming* button.
+
+.. important:: Cube programmer is very picky about files it shows in the file list. The only recognized suffixes are: elf, bin, hex and
+ similar. Also do not try to fool programmer by renaming let's say text
+ file to bin file. It'll detect file type as ascii text and will not
+ show it in the list of files to flash. So bin file type is really for
+ media types like avi, jpeg, mpeg or for binary dumps from elf
+ files. If you need to save text file, convert it to hex file first.
