How to set up a Keil IDE 5 Project - Program the STM32F4 Discovery Board

This short video covers the steps of setting up a Keil µVision 5 project for programming the STM32F4 Discovery Board.

Keil µVision 5 is an IDE developed by ARM and is suitable for programming many of their microprocessors, in this case, the STM32F407VGT which is found on the STM32F4 Discovery education board. The Keil µVision 5 IDE allows you to write code for, program and debug the STM32F4 Discovery Board.

ST-Link Utility is available here: (link removed by YouTube please Google search it)

The STM32F4 Discovery Board is available from Amazon (affiliate):

Thanks for doing what my teacher couldn't

The tutorial was simple and easy to understand. Thank you for uploading this. Please can I request if you may include few more sessions related to Interrupts, Timers and ADC/DAC etc specific to ARM Cortex M4 viz. STM32F407. Thanks again.

oh god this video was helpful and made me see light at the end of the stm32 tunnel. PS: cubeIDE just makes me want to jump off a bridge sometimes

A very clear explanation- thanks. While you installed HAL drivers, the example program only uses direct register writes. I actually prefer this but find the project folder is bloated with many megabytes of unused and unnecessary files. A video on a "minimum" project folder would be useful - one that contains only the pointer constants to registers (stm32f4xx.h) and the startup file. Then one could add just the CMSIS or HAL files as desired.

very Good explanation and easy to understand, Thank you for the same.

You are very clear. Thank you very much.

EDIT: fixed.
I found the solution. the for loops are optimized out. Make the variable i declaration as:
volatile uint32_t i;

I get these. LEDs light up, and they never go off


main.c(30): warning: signed shift result sets the sign bit of the shift expression's type ('int') and becomes negative [-Wshift-sign-overflow]
GPIOD->BSRR = 1<<(15+(16)); // Set the BSRR bit 15 + 16 to 1 to turn respective LED off
~^
main.c(30): warning: implicit conversion changes signedness: 'int' to 'uint32_t' (aka 'unsigned int') [-Wsign-conversion]
GPIOD->BSRR = 1<<(15+(16)); // Set the BSRR bit 15 + 16 to 1 to turn respective LED off

Can you plz make aa complete chapterrrr plzzzz
Like i2c, uart, adc, spi

[nguyenquangtuan]

If I don't have the 4:00 folder, will it affect the board's running process? Please give me feedback soon.

I have error called "Required C 99, but current is C 90" How am I suppose to corrent it?

[kitKat-bykk]

hi, at 3:20 the XTal option, which you change from 12 to 8Mhz, is greyed out in my Keil u5, after followin the previous steps. i cant get to thebottom of it, and i am a new Keil user, moving sideways from St-IDE. Any ideas?

[faraglagn]

Why do you choose I2C and SPI? in other words, Can I choose just CAN in 3 CAN nodes? or there is a rule to choose these things?

[PerchEagle]

I installed v5.38

With including USE_HAL_DRIVER, I get 13 warnings, and when I remove it I get 4 warnings.


Also I can't change the xtal.

[omerfarukuslu]

The Xtal frequency part seems off to me. How can i open.Can you please help me.Thamk you.

[sneha]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have followed all the steps properly but get an error in the manage run-time environment window that says "Required C 99, but current is C 90"
Whatever I do after that can't be uploaded to the board. Please help me rectify this 🙏

Edit
The solution is as follows-
In the 'options for target' settings go to C/C++ tab and choose C99 from the drop-down menu for 'selected language'

Enjoy!

[prayagjain]

actually for me the leds are only a switched on position when i am running this code. Can u please help?

[mani_vk_]

Is all videos available related to stm32f407 discovery board with keil 5 sir?

[emoutraspalavras-marloncou]

Thank you so much. My Keil version is from 2014, I followed the steps for the same board and got this error when trying to build it: ".\Blink_Eight.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol SystemInit (referred from startup_stm32f40_41xxx.o) " I the code I had to change BSSR to BSSRL to turn on and BSSRH to turn off (w/o the +16). How can I fix it?
