STLink Installation on Ubuntu 14.04
In Linux a command line program can be used to program STM32 microcontrollers via the embedded ST-LINK found on evaluation boards such as the STM32F4 discovery .
In this tutorial, a STM32F4 discovery board is programmed in Ubuntu Linux 14.04
install dependencies
First install dependencies git and libusb
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev git
Build stlink binaries
In the terminal window, change to a suitable directory to work from and enter:
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink stlink.git
This will clone the stlink github repository to the working directory
Change to the new directory and then make the project. Enter these two lines in the terminal window:
$cd stlink.git
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
Copy the st-flash file to the file system.
In the stlink.git directory contains the contains the st-flash program after compilation
Copy this to systems binary path
sudo cp st-flash /usr/bin
UDEV Permissions
Set up udev rules so that it is possible to run st-flash without using the sudo command. Change back to the stlink.git directory and then copy the rules files to the file system. In the terminal window enter:
cd ..
