Set Up the Build Environment

To build STM32 projects, a build environment must be set up. This environment includes the necessary compilers, libraries, and tools required to compile and flash the firmware to the microcontroller. The STM32Tesseract GUI provides a convenient way to set up this environment.

Prerequisites​

Before setting up the build environment, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A stable internet connection
  • Sufficient disk space (approximately 1 GB)
  • Administrator privileges

Steps​

  1. Launch stm32tesseract-gui.
  2. Navigate to the Environment tab.
  3. Click Up to initiate the build environment setup.
  4. The program will automatically download the necessary toolchain and configure the environment variables.
  5. Restart your computer to activate the new environment variables.

FAQ​

How to troubleshoot download failure?​

If the download fails, check your internet connection and try again.

How to configure a proxy server?​

In some enterprise internal networks, you may need to configure a proxy server to download the necessary files.

STM32Tesseract would automatically detect and use the proxy server settings from the system environment variables. http_proxy and https_proxy are the environment variables that would be used by STM32Tesseract.
