There are two (2) very different investments in this game: money and time and against the belief that they are the same, in this game they are distinct. The other pieces of equipment are very valuable indeed, but i'd guess they address different purposes. I do not belong to a Make group, but there are several around, and I understand they have Arduino interest groups.

If one balks at the investment, perhaps getting some friends together with similar interests and sharing the cost would be workable. Those hardware tools do not get used often, but they always come through since I seem to be able to do the software side OK but making downstream I2C and SPI stuff work the way it should is not always straight forward with taking a picture of the communication streams. In my world, I have found that my investment in a decent storage oscilloscope and a Saleae 16-input logic analyzer to be the best investments, beyond a decent DVM. I'm fairly certain that STM has a true emulator that doesn't get outside their workarea, but blackmagic is probably all most of us will need, IMO. When real debugging is needed, a real (professional) tool set and environment such as STM's is a good starting place and then augment as needed. This is interesting, but I try very, very hard to avoid complicated memory and such problems.

i've not tried out the pebble repository but that seem to be a better qemu stm32 implementation These emulators normally won't be able to handle real time time sensitive stuff, but i'm not too sure if it could help to debug those complicated memory and such problems. The sources of qemu is huge and pretty complex, i've not gotten a grasp of that This is more complete and apparently has F2 and F4 support but is based around pebble obviously

There is another implementation at pebble github repository Dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=128 of=image.binĭd if=maple_mini_boot20.bin bs=1024 conv=nocreat,notrunc of=image.binĭd if=$1 bs=1024 conv=nocreat,notrunc seek=8 of=image.bin
