CLion

CLion is a cross-platform IDE for C and C++ by JetBrains, which is tailored for embedded development. This guide will show you how to build, run, and debug generated CMake projects using CLion.

Initial Setup

For first-time users of CLion:

1. Access File > Settings or use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + S.
2. Go to Build, Execution, Deployment > Embedded Development.
3. Define the paths for the OpenOCD executable and STM32CubeMX executable.
   
4. Click Apply and then OK.

Building the Project

1. Open the project directory in CLion.
2. Click Build or press Ctrl + F9.

Running the Project

With OpenOCD

tip

OpenOCD is an open-source tool that provides on-chip programming and debugging support. For most types of adapters (eg. CMSIS-DAP or ST-Link), OpenOCD is a good choice to drive them. However, a significant exclusion is J-Link adapter, which is recommended to use JLink GDB Server for better performance and advanced features.

1. Edit openocd.cfg to configure OpenOCD, see Configure OpenOCD to learn more. The default configuration is for CMSIS-DAP adapter.
2. Choose Run Configurations: OCD {project-name}.
3. Click Run or press Shift + F10.

Debugging

With OpenOCD

1. Edit openocd.cfg to configure OpenOCD, see Configure OpenOCD to learn more. The default configuration is for CMSIS-DAP adapter.
2. Select Run Configurations: OCD {project-name}.
3. Click Debug or press Shift + F9.

With JLink

1. Select Run Configurations: JLink.
2. Specify the JLink GDB Server path by editing Run Configurations.
   
3. Click Debug or press Shift + F9.

Configure Peripheral View

Automatic configuration is not supported at the moment. You need manually download and load the SVD file for peripheral register viewing.
