[SOLVED] Getting Started Embedded Studio & Nucleo STM32F103

Hello,

currently I'm trying to getting started with the Nucleo board and Embedded Studio. Therefor I installed the J-Link firmware on my Nucleo board. As far as I can tell the board is recognized as J-Link. Then I wrote a small blinky program trying to set Pin PC10 as output:

Source Code

void main(void)
{
RCC->APB2ENR |= (1 << 4); //IOPCEN=1
GPIOC->CRH |= 0x500; //CONF1=0, CONF0=1, MODE1=0, MODE0=1
GPIOC -> ODR |= (1<<10); //Set Pin PC10 high
while(1)
{
}
}

Display All

For starting the program I hit F5.

The pin shows no action, but I can tell that the uC is running because when I set a breakpoint on the koop it get's hit.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
The source you posted does not result in a blinking LED as your while(1) is empty so there is no toggle of the LED pin.
Which eval board are you using exactly? The NUCLEO-F103RB board does not have any LED connected to PC10.
If you are using an external LED make sure you wire it correctly and use a series resistor to limit the current.

As a starting project for blinky LED we suggest using the Embedded Studio pacakge manager. Download the STM32F1xx support package.
Open Tools-> Show Installed Packages-> STMicroelectronics STM32F1xx CPU Support Package-> STM32F1xx Samples Solution

There you will find a SysTick Interrupt example project.
This example will print a message every second. Instead of printing the message you can replace the printf with the toggle of your LED pin (e.g. using XOR).
Now you should have a quick setup of a timed blinky example.

Best regards,
Nino
