Overview
This article to hold notes on early works with STMicro's STM32F100VL Discovery Board. We're using arm-none-eabi-gcc and assember versions:

^ STM32F microcontroller and dev board
This section of this LPCXpresso article is not very related to LPCXpresso but here to describe tools for compiling for, programming and debugging ST32F type processors and development boards. As of 2018-04-23 have on hand STMicro's development board model number STM32F1, also known as STM32FVLDISCOVERY. Overview page for this board at STMicro is:
The processor used in this dev board is an STM32F100 family part, described in the following PDF, and interestingly there appears to be no mention of 'fuse' or 'fuse bits' in this document:

- STEP - building Texane's stlink programming utility for ST32F and related target processors:
Looks like there are a couple of extra steps to take to build developer or dev team Texane's stlink project. These steps include installing `cmake`, and then on Debian and Ubuntu systems invoking stlink's makefile as follows:
$ make clean && make release

^ Demo Firmwares from AN3268 Standard Peripherals Library
- 2018-05-03 Thursday -
Ted working to compile, program part and run STMicro's RCC example firmware project, targeted to the STM32F100 Discovery Value Line board. Working on a Linux platform with GCC toolchain. Using professor Geoffry Brown's STM32 project template as for the project makefile or project recipe basis.
Today's goal is to build and run STM32 library example named 'RCC', locally installed in /opt/lib/an3268/stm32vldiscovery_package/Project/Examples/RCC. Having trouble with the linker not finding where built library files, likely archive or shared object files are located . . .

^ STM32F10x device types LD, MD, HD and Value Line
In the file /opt/lib/an3268/stm32vldiscovery_package/Libraries/CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/stm32f10x.h there is a good explanation of the abbreviations LD, MD, HD attached to some STM32F10x microcontroller names:
57 /* Tip: To avoid modifying this file each time you need to switch between these 58 devices, you can define the device in your toolchain compiler preprocessor. 59 60 - Low density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers 61 where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes. 62 - Low-density value line devices are STM32F100xx microcontrollers where the Flash 63 memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes. 64 - Medium density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers 65 where the Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes. 66 - Medium-density value line devices are STM32F100xx microcontrollers where the 67 Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes. 68 - High density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where 69 the Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes. 70 - XL-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where 71 the Flash memory density ranges between 512 and 1024 Kbytes. 72 - Connectivity line devices are STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx microcontrollers. 73 */
This same header file has some pound includes which may be worth noting, about four hundred lines into this file:
412 #include "core_cm3.h" 413 #include "system_stm32f10x.h" 414 #include <stdint.h>
Even with the value line controller there are just over nine hundred register definitions in STM's standard peripherals library main header file for the STM32F100RB part:
$ /opt/lib/an3268/stm32vldiscovery_package/Libraries/CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x$ grep -n 'Bit definition for' ./*.h | grep register | wc
902 6320 91086
Looks like there are fourteen GPIO registers defined . . .

As we saw in compiler directive error messages a few days ago, a particular STM32F microcontroller part number needs be called out in order for conditional stuff in header files, including System Core Clock variable to be declared at compile time. Here are references to variable SystemCoreClock:
./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.h:52:extern uint32_t SystemCoreClock; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.h:79:extern void SystemCoreClockUpdate(void); ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:112: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_HSE; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:114: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_24MHz; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:116: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_36MHz; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:118: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_48MHz; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:120: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_56MHz; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:122: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = SYSCLK_FREQ_72MHz; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:124: uint32_t SystemCoreClock = HSI_Value; /*!< System Clock Frequency (Core Clock) */ ./CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/system_stm32f10x.c:167: * SystemCoreClock variable.
^ The dot S File
Somehow we need to include the 'dot s' file /opt/lib/an3268/stm32vldiscovery_package/Libraries/CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/startup/arm/startup_stm32f10x_md_vl.s in our instance of STMicro's SysTick demo project. This file calls some processor-initializing code before routine int main() starts. This fact per comments in SysTick demo source file main.c . . .
int main(void)
{
/*!< At this stage the microcontroller clock setting is already configured,
this is done through SystemInit() function which is called from startup
file (startup_stm32f10x_xx.s) before to branch to application main.
To reconfigure the default setting of SystemInit() function, refer to
system_stm32f10x.c file
*/
Our challenge seems to be to direct gcc and related tools to bring together C sources and pre-existing assembly or 'dot s' files. Here is a reference which talks about coding syntax in C and assembly but is missing details of makefile syntax for GCC:
More a reference on crafting makefile to handle assembled files along with source files:

^ GNU assembler versus ARM assembler
Assembly files written in ARM assembler syntax won't assemble using GNU `as`, per Stack Overflow forum post 20301140:
Here is some work compiling an3268 SysTick demo source file main.c to the assembly stage, using GNU arm-none-eabi-gcc:

^ Startup and linker files in STCube1 libraries
About to examine following start-up assembly files for STM32F100xb type microcontrollers . . .
user@localhost:~/Downloads/stm/STM32Cube_FW_F1_V1.6.0$ find . -name 'startup_stm32f100*' ./Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Templates/TrueSTUDIO/startup_stm32f100xb.s ./Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Templates/EWARM/startup_stm32f100xb.s ./Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Templates/MDK-ARM/startup_stm32f100xb.s ./Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Templates_LL/EWARM/startup_stm32f100xb.s ./Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Templates_LL/MDK-ARM/startup_stm32f100xb.s
Ah sure enough! Some of these start-up assembly files are written in GNU gcc syntax, just what we need! TrueSTUDIO instance of file startup_stm32f100xb.s is written and assembles properly via arm-none-eabi-as.
So we've been trying to build and run an AN3268 demo firmware, using a makefile template of two makefiles from Indiana State Geoffy Brown, which should be ok as `make` is a tool and not a mix of two different libraries. There is however also a matter of a linker script which sets out things like where object file code gets put into memory. We were referencing a GNU assember incompatible start-up file and changed that. May we also be referencing an incompatible linker script in our instance / copy of AN3268 SysTick demo firmwares? Here are the first linker scripts found, working up dir by dir from the location of the start-up file:
/opt/lib/an3268/stm32vldiscovery_package$ find . -name '*.ld' ./Project/Master Workspace/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Demo/TrueSTUDIO/DISCOVER/STM32F100RB_FLASH.ld ./Project/Examples/STANDBY Mode/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/IWDG/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/Sleep Mode/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/JTAG Remap/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/WWDG/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/DMA/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/EXTI/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/GPIOToggle/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/Flash Program/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/STOP Mode/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/RCC/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld ./Project/Examples/SysTick/TrueSTUDIO/stm32_flash.ld
^ Linker script syntax
Keywords: linker scripts, multiple linker scripts to ld
linker scripts
Ok now that we can compile assembly files, those ending in .s which are written in GNU toolchain syntax we have a binary we've flashed to the dev board. But no action! Debugging is different and more constrained in a development board than in a PC with operating system environment. Could there be something wrong with our linker script?
Golden . . .
From Sourceware reference we learn that GNU linker `ld` can accept at least two linker files. We just wrote one and passed it to linker in an amendment in our local project makefile. Here is the linker script which defines a symbol that is in Geoffry's template linker script but not in STM AN3268 TrueSTUDIO template linker script. We named this linker file 'extra-linker-directives.ld' . . .

Here are the changes we made to makefiles to reference this new linker file:
$ grep -nr EXTRA_LINKER_SCRIPT ./* ./Makefile.common:81:LDFLAGS+= -T$(LDSCRIPT) $(EXTRA_LINKER_SCRIPT) -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3 ./SysTick/Makefile:54:EXTRA_LINKER_SCRIPT=extra-linker-directives.ld ./UART_Printf/Makefile.common:91:LDFLAGS+= -T$(LDSCRIPT) $(EXTRA_LINKER_SCRIPT) -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3 ./makefile--geoffry-brown-stm32f-master-template.common:81:LDFLAGS+= -T$(LDSCRIPT) $(EXTRA_LINKER_SCRIPT) -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3 $
The gcc -T option is mentioned on [... GNU's gcc page on link options], and includes this comment which we seem to be running into as an issue on an NXP1114 embedded demo project,
-
"-T script
-
Use script as the linker script. This option is supported by most systems using the GNU linker. On some targets, such as bare-board targets without an operating system, the -T option may be required when linking to avoid references to undefined symbols."
So we've modified out project to use a new linker script, and this second linker script which provides one additional variable assignment to `ld`. Still no visible working of SysTick AN3268 demo . . . tried some other things. Strangely calls to STMDiscovery.c routine ...LEDOff() seem to turn one or the other of LED3 (GPIOC_9) and LED4 (GPIOC_8) on rather than off. Now looking for beginner blink-LED programs for the STM32F100 Discovery board . . .
^ First Steps To GPIO 'Hello World'
The following article shows a couple things, a project which seems to omit any .s type start-up file. Also there's comment in the main.c file above a while(1) construct, that this infinite loop is important to keep the micro from running unintended code should some code be loaded beyond the end of the intended firmware:
In AN3268 SysTick demo in source file main.c it's not obvious where or whether GPIOC clock settings are taking place. Again there is mention in main.c of a call to SystemInit(), which doesn't appear as a function in the SysTick project directory, and doesn't appear to be a fully defined function in startup_stm32f10x_md_vl.s. In yesterday's May 10 tests to compile to the point of a .s file the source file main.c we had to include several other .h files which probably correspond at least some of them to .c files, one of which may hold the function SystemInit(). The files we needed to symbolically link to in that small work are:

Looking for USART project or demonstration firmware for the STM32F10x Discovery board . . .
~/Downloads/stm/STM32Cube_FW_F1_V1.6.0/Drivers/STM32F1xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f1xx_hal.c:298:__weak void HAL_IncTick(void)
In the newer STCube peripherals library there is a group of UART demo firmwares, the most simple of which appears to be in directory:
~/Downloads/stm/STM32Cube_FW_F1_V1.6.0/Projects/STM32VL-Discovery/Examples/UART/UART_Printf
So we're running into a link time problem, where the GNU linker doesn't know where to find definitions of certain STM32F library functions. In the STM32Cube Drivers subdirectory, there's no makefile nor any instructions for building a shared object or similar type of library file. I seem to recall reading that the STM32F libraries are configured and used in a way different and non-standard with respect to libc6 and most C libraries. Here's the complaint from the linker when we try to build UART_Printf with a makefile we're building from the ground up:
~/projects/stm32f/UART_Printf$ make

Ah but hey, look at that last IF statement which calls a routine HAL_UART_Init(...), which we missed earlier today. Most likely we need to call that in order to change baud rate while a program is running in our development board, and after it has already been set to a value. Will be interesting however to see how that routine works, and whether we can call something smaller or perform a local assignment in a routine of our immediate project, rather than calling a library routine to adjust one integer type parameter . . .

^ To Activate Floating Point, and Integer Alternative
Notes on floating point encoding: looks like there are some significant memory footprint savings in microcontroller projects, by turning off or not including floating point support in the sprintf family functions. There's mention on an STMicro forum that working integer-wise with exponent and mantissa of a floating point formatted datum, by printing those two parts of the datum in integer format, saves about 6Kb of memory. Forum post is "44899 how to activate floating point for sprintf . . .", see references section for link to this post.
The manual page for gcc says that -u is used to force linking of library modules, by directing gcc to pretend that one or another symbol is not defined:
-u symbol
Pretend the symbol symbol is undefined, to force linking of library modules to define it. You can use -u multiple times
with different symbols to force loading of additional library modules.
Interesting comment on this related post, user says that newlib-nano C library doesn't have floating point support:
If this is the case then for now we'll assume we're using a C library which doesn't implement floating point in its sprintf functions. Let's see how four-byte, also known as single-precision floating point numbers are structured, so that we may correctly parse and format the bits of each measurement value of the SCD30 sensor,

^ Some SCD30 feedback, full SN partial readings
The following is output from an STM32F100x Value Line Discovery board attached via wires and breadboard to a Sensirion SCD30 carbon dioxide sensor using the sensor's I2C communication facility. Serial number reads out fully, relative humidity and temperature readings appear well within the ballpark for office setting. Carbon dioxide level reading always appears zero. The sensor lamp is flashing, at a rate of 1/3 Hz or 1/4 Hz, tried both these rates via STM32F firmware. This output noted here reflects sensor response to having single-shot measurement commands sent to it . . .
