Beginning STM32

See how using FreeRTOS and libopencm3 instead of the Arduino software environment will help you develop multi-tasking applications that go beyond Arduino norms. This updated version includes expanded coverage of software setup for Windows 10 and 11, additional TM32 hardware capabilities, including clear explanations of "totem pole outputs" versus "open drain outputs," and a new section on project showcasing an interrupt-driven approach for processing USART data.

Each chapter contains clear explanations of the STM32 hardware capabilities to help get you started with the device, including GPIO and several other ST Microelectronics peripherals like USB and CAN bus controller. You'll learn how to download and set up the libopencm3 + FreeRTOS development environment, using GCC. With everything set up, you'll leverage FreeRTOS to create tasks, queues, and mutexes. You'll also learn to work with the I2C bus to add GPIO using the PCF8574 chip. And how to create PWM output for RC control using hardware timers.

• Initialize and use the libopencm3 drivers and handle interrupts
  
• Use DMA to drive a SPI based OLED displaying an analog meter
  
• Read PWM from an RC control using hardware timers
  
• Understand STM32 capabilities, including USB controller, RTC, DMA, CAN bus, and more
