#stm32

Looks like I *might* need an #STM32 for a professional project. I just have to pick an MCU, what could go wrong?

Hahahaha. Fool!
There’s no online product finder.

Instead, there’s a proprietary desktop app for that, and you’ll have to leave your e‑mail address before you can download the sub-par, 280 MB installer.

Aaaaaand the app is a piece of crap. Slow, ugly (no anti-aliasing)… and no proper search engine.

What the actual fuck, #ST?
Are there any workarounds?

Attention all embedded developers.
I am trying to solve a decision process regarding which toolchain I ought to be using for STM32

My current job with the techbros, scoffed and nearly choked on their coffee when I said I have used STM32CubeIDE for quite a while.

They are using IAR EWARM, and I've tried it, the problem is, it lacks a lot of things that are useful, like the configuration tool and the clock selection tool.

Does anyone use STM32CubeIDE out there in a professional setting? I keep hearing stories that it sucks, it's slow, its Eclipse, etc.. etc etc

Continued thread

Also in 2015, aka my year of #Forth, I started writing a modular #synth (first graph-based, then stack-based), including another Forth-like VM with a bunch of audio & music-theory related syntax additions, all with the aim of creating a livecoding env for #STM32. The VM is written in C11 and (should be) platform independent. It automatically does word inlining, peephole optimizations, supports floating point ops, disassembly etc.

The attached image shows some Forth source code defining an 2-oscillator DSP stack for a bass synth (with FX) and a semi-randomized sequencer...

6mins live performance (using a polyphonic graph based version of the synth running on an STM32F746 board, with the Korg Nanocontrol used as sequencer and for param/effect control):
