Compilation / Debug

In order to compile and debug the project, there are few steps to perform.

1) First step: Build

On menu bar, click on Build menu, then click on Build; the project will be built and any

errors will be displayed on the lower part of the screen.

2) Second Step: Configure the Debug Instruments

Connect a USB cable or an ST-Link between the board and the USB port of the

computer. Note that using the Swim, instead of ST-Link embedded, requires a power

supply device.

See the board datasheet and User Manual for further information.

->DebugInstruments Settings, Select Swim ST-Link, the target Port Selection should be

updated automatically. If not, select Add and select the USB port or let the software

detect the port automatically.

3) Third Step: Launch the debugger

->Debug-> Start Debugging or press the

button

Once the debugger is launched, the following menu allows to run the application, run it

step by step, by function, etc… and to observe the behavior of the code and the values

taken by the different variables.

Refer to ST Visual Develop Information Manuals for further information about the debugging

mode.
