HANcoder/STM32/Installation Manual

Introduction

This document is for the user who wants to make a software program using Simulink and the HANcoder blockset for the Olimexino STM32 development board. It contains installation tutorials for the programs necessary to work with the blockset. It will also explain the template model, building a model in Simulink and flashing the software to the Olimexino. Furthermore, it will explain how you can view signals and edit parameters while the software runs on the Olimexino. This is done with a program called HANtune. So HANcoder is used to build the software program from a Simulink model and HANtune is used to view and edit (tune) the program once the program is running on the hardware. If you would encounter problems with the blockset or with HANtune, please contact the project developer Jason van Kolfschoten: Jason.vanKolfschoten@han.nl

Matlab Installation

A step by step guide on how to install Matlab Simulink and the necessary toolboxes. Learn more.

GNU ARM Toolchain Installation

The GNU ARM Toolchain is necessary to build code for generating code for the STM32 series microcontrollers Learn more.

Test the build process

After installing Matlab and the GNU ARM Toolchain it is time to test the code generation from the template model. Learn more.

Flashing the controller with the bootloader

Putting the with Simulink generated software on the microcontroller is called flashing. Learn more.
