2.4 QEMU Simulation - Blinky

Previous2.3 FIRST STM32 Project - Hello WorldNext2.5 Test On STM32F767ZI - Blinky

Last updated 6 years ago

In the , we have NOT run/test/debug the program yet. How to do that? Normally, there are 2 ways to test your code before flashing your code down to a chip.

  • Way 1: Test in a simulator, which simulates the STM32 chip

  • Way 2: Test on a real STM32 development board

In this section, we are going to talk about how to run/test/debug the program in the popular simulator .

2.4.1 QEMU Installation

Option 1: Official Installation

You can directly download QEMU's NEWEST release from its official website .

Option 2: Ubuntu Repository

One command will do:

$ sudo apt install qemu

Option 3: Build from Source (Recommended)

This option is adopted in our case. Just strictly follow :

git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
cd qemu
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make -j4

Option 4: GNU MCU Eclipse QEMU (Our Way)

Supported Boards:

  • Maple - LeafLab Arduino-style STM32 microcontroller board

  • NUCLEO-F103RB - ST Nucleo Development Board for STM32 F1 series

As you can see, a file named F429ZI_Blinky.elf is produced under folder Debug or Release, depending on what kind of target/configuration you specified to build.

Step 2: Run Project with QEMU

Finally, we need to run the project by emulating STM32F429I-Discovery with chip STM32F429ZI via QEMU. Right click on the built file HelloWorld.elf -> Run As -> Run Configurations -> GDB QEMU Debugging -> New. We creat a new configuration named F429ZI_Blinky QEMU, and make the Run Configurations as in the following two images:

And the project Blinky successfully run with the following output:

QEMU semihosting exit(0)

Since in our course, we are using , we also use , from where we should be able to find its . However, its NEWEST release is v2.8.0-20170301, which is quite OLD. According to , its current supported boards and MCUs:

As mentioned above, since current does NOT support STM32F767ZI yet, we have to carry our QEMU test with another board. Here, we pick up board with MCU to carry out QEMU test.

Similar to , let's first create a Blinky C/C++ project with board configuration STM32F4xx with Chip family STM32F429xx, as follows:

Then, we Build Project with any . In our case, we build our code with Debug configuration with .

And emulates STM32F429I-Discovery board on the screen as follows:
