How to Program Stm32f429I Discovery Board With Visual Studio Code

• I didn't know how I could program the stm32.
• so I found a video which was really helpful:

Maybe some more steps are needed..but at least it should show that it worked.

Here I will describe this steps:

1. download https://github.com/libopencm3/libopencm3-examples
2. connect the discovery board with usb..
3. open libopencm3-examples/examples/stm32/f4/stm32f429i-discovery in vscode
4. there you can see some examples
5. for example miniblink
6. open this path inside of a terminal and write make
7. the *.elf file will be created
8. inside of launch.json which is inside of the directory .vscode:

• change the line "executable" to "executable": "./examples/stm32/f4/stm32f429i-discovery/miniblink/miniblink.elf",
• give it also a new name: "name": "Debug miniblink with OpenOCD",

( the elf file is like the executable file )

Now goto

and select

-----------

and it will upload the *.elf file and just works... you can debug
