SerialUSB doesn't work on Maple Mini and Bootloader2.0

Post by Ralf9 »

Hi,

I use the Arduino IDE 1.8.10 on OpenSuse Leap 15.0 64 Bit and the Maple Mini,
and this package

Code: Select all

https://github.com/stm32duino/BoardManagerFiles/raw/master/STM32/package_stm_index.json
I use this examble, it doesn't work (I have try "Serial.begin(57600)" and "SerialUSB.begin(57600)")

Code: Select all

int8_t led = 0;

void setup() {
   SerialUSB.begin(57600); //this isn't needed, it is pre-initialised , otherwise you could uncomment it to test
   pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if(SerialUSB.available()) {
    char c = Serial.read();
    SerialUSB.print("hello ");
    SerialUSB.print(c);
    SerialUSB.println();
  }
  led = ~ led & 1;
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, led);
  delay(100);
}
After flash

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
insgesamt 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 11. Jan 20:08 usb-STMicroelectronics_MAPLEMINI_F103CB_CDC_in_FS_Mode_8D7452895051-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0
After press reset there is no USB device

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: Zugriff auf '/dev/serial/by-id' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Thank you.

I have it also testet under Windows Arduino 1.8.10 with this package
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32
it works with it.
After a reset i become

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 11. Jan 23:21 usb-LeafLabs_Maple-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0

I can confirm your findings. Serial USB works on the original Roger core with the bootloader installed but not with the STM core. The led blinks but the serial port never appears.

If you abandon the bootloader and upload your program using a ST-Link (SWDIO to pin D22, SWCLK to pin D21), your sketch works fine after fixing one typo. /dev/ttyACM0 is available for USB serial.

I had forgotten how much of a pain it is to use that bootloader. You can also use a USB/Serial adapter on PA9/PA10 but you will need to set Boot 0 =1 to upload. The ST-Link works without doing anything special.

It might be worth trying the hid bootloader on the maple mini and see if that works differently. https://github.com/Serasidis/STM32_HID_ ... r/releases

The HID bootloader is the same behavior - no USB serial available with the bootloader installed.

with this the SerialUSB works

Code: Select all

It seems that von Roger.

But with this EEPROM library I can only read and write 16 Bit Data, but I will read and write 8 Bit Data.

Is someone here with that the SerialUSB works with the Release Core 1.8.0? (https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32)

@Ralf9
You're right it seems there is a regression with the BL usage.
I think there is an issue with the upload.
DFU has been modified in the Arduino Tools. I will check if this is the root cause.

Serial USB works without any bootloader installed. USART1 and USART2 are also available.
But with this EEPROM library I can only read and write 16 Bit Data, but I will read and write 8 Bit Data.
I recommend one of the inexpensive DS3231 real time clock modules. These keep fairly accurate time and have a few kilobytes of eeprom.

It takes about 2 seconds to upload a 20K binary with the ST-Link. This is much faster than uploading with a bootloader.

@fredbox , @Ralf9

In fact, it works. I've the wrong bootloader. I thought I get the Original but no.
With the bootloder v2.0 it works fine.
