Developing STM32 on Linux: Compiling BIN and HEX Files with GCC ARM None EABI Toolchain

Developing STM32 on Linux: Compiling BIN and HEX Files with GCC ARM None EABI Toolchain

1. Why Not GCC When developing STM32, the compilation toolchain must use gcc-arm-none-eabi. Why not GCC?This relates to cross-compilation in Linux, as we need to compile programs that can run on ARM from a PC. Using GCC will compile programs that run on the PC, so we need to use gcc-arm-none-eabi for cross-compilation~ 2. Introduction … Read more
