This setup guide assumes WSL is already set up. If not, follow this guide to install WSL.

Base development packages

sudo apt install                  \
  build-essential                 \
  cmake                           \
  python3-dev                     \
  python3-pip                     \
  gcc-arm-none-eabi               \
  libnewlib-arm-none-eabi         \
  libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib  \
  openocd                         \
  ninja-build

mbed-tools & Dependencies

pip install   \
  mbed-tools  \
  prettytable \
  future      \
  jinja2      \
  intelhex

In ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile), append the following to enable mbed-tools via command line:

export PATH="${PATH}:/home/${USER}/.local/bin"

Flashing STM32

Author: Michael Owens

Flashing is where WSL begins to diverge from normal Linux. We have to pass through the USB device to WSL and then make sure we have the right installer.

  1. Follow this guide to install usbipd-win

  2. Start windows powershell / windows terminal (not cmd, don't be cringe) and try running usbipd list. The output should look something like this:

    PS C:\Users\legor> usbipd list
Connected:
BUSID  VID:PID    DEVICE                                                        STATE
2-3    0b05:19b6  USB Input Device                                              Not shared
3-2    0483:374b  ST-Link Debug, USB Mass Storage Device, USB Serial Device...  Attached
3-3    13d3:56eb  USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam, USB2.0 IR UVC WebCam, Camera DFU De...  Not shared
4-1    0489:e0e2  MediaTek Bluetooth Adapter                                    Not shared

  3. We can see here that the bus id of the st link programmer for the board is 3-2, so we should run usbipd wsl attach --busid 3-2 (replace the busid with yours)

  4. Finally, open your WSL shell. Run lsusb, the output should look like this, and now we know WSL has the device connected.

    ubuntu@my-pc:~/TR-mbed6$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0483:374b STMicroelectronics ST-LINK/V2.1
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

  5. Flash the board with OpenOCD:

sudo openocd -f board/st_nucleo_f4.cfg -c "program cmake-build-debug/robots/TestBench/TR-TestBench.elf verify reset exit"
