# ledcontrol
A firmware project for the STM32F103C8T6 to control LED strips.
## Usage
Install the necessary software. For Arch Linux this works like this:
```
sudo pacman -S \
base-devel \
arm-none-eabi-binutils \
arm-none-eabi-gcc \
arm-none-eabi-gdb \
arm-none-eabi-newlib
```
Clone this repository with all Git submodules:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://cgit.xengineering.eu/ledcontrol
```
Enter the repository and build the software
```
cd ledcontrol
make
```
Connect your STM32F103C8T6 with an STLINK V2 debugger and flash the firmware:
```
bash ocd.sh
# switch to a second terminal in the same folder
bash gdb.sh build/ledcontrol.elf
load
run
# CTRL + C will stop the execution
# leave GDB with CTRL + D
```
Mention that you do not have to quit GDB to upload new compiled firmware. Just
call `load` and `run` again.
