Flasher Configurations
Program your code into flash...
We support many flasher for your embedded projects.
Project Type | Flashers |
---|---|
8BIT Project | stvp for stm8 , stcgal , any shell command |
Arm Project | jlink , stlink , pyocd , openocd , any shell command |
RISCV Project | jlink , pyocd , openocd , any shell command |
You can switch flasher for your project.
Install Flasher Tools
Flasher tools are not integrated into the EIDE installation package, so you need to install the appropriate flash tool before using the flasher feature.
Click Upload To Device
button to start a flash program, we will check you flasher executable and if it's has not been installed, we will pop-up a notification, now you can install or set flasher.
If you want to select an existing installation location for your flashers, you need modify eide's plug-in settings.
The following is a list of plug-in flasher settings:
Flasher | VSCode Settings ID |
---|---|
STVP | EIDE.STM8.STVP.CliExePath |
JLink | EIDE.JLink.InstallDirectory |
STLink | EIDE.STLink.ExePath |
Openocd | EIDE.OpenOCD.ExePath |
You can also set your flasher executable file path to System Environment Variables
. plug-in will found it.
Base Configurations
You must install corresponding flasher software before modify your flasher configurations.
Before start to program flash, you need to check your flasher config.
Each flasher configuration has some base fields, as follows:
Program File
: program file path, like:xxx.hex, xxx.bin, xxx.s19
Format:
<filepath_1>[,addr_1][;<filepath_2>[,addr_2];...;<filepath_n>]
For this field, we support some variables:
${OutDir}: Output Directory
${ProjectName}: Project Name
${ExecutableName}: Executable file output path, without suffix
${ProjectRoot}: Project root directory
${<EnvVarName>}: Variables in `Project Settings` -> `Env Variables`Examples:
${ExecutableName}.hex
: use '${ExecutableName}.hex' file to program flash../bootloader.hex;${ExecutableName}.hex
: at first, use './bootloader.hex' to program flash, and then use '${ExecutableName}.hex' to program flash../bootloader.bin,0x08000000;${ExecutableName}.hex
:at first, use './bootloader.bin' to program flash at '0x08000000', and then use '${ExecutableName}.hex' to program flash../bootloader.bin,0x08000000;${ExecutableName}.bin,0x08100000
:at first, use './bootloader.bin' to program flash at '0x08000000', and then use '${ExecutableName}.bin' to program flash at '0x08100000'.
default valueIf the value of this field is blank, the
${ExecutableName}.hex
will be used.Program More Than One FilesOnly support program multi-files for

Install
At first, you need a python3 environment.
then execute these command to install it, as follows:
pip3 install stcgal --user
Then you can check stcgal by this command:
stcgal -h
Config
eeprom Data File Path
: eeprom data file path foreeprom
region.The path must contain only
numbers
,letters
,-
or_
.Extra CommandLine
: Other stcgal commandline options.reference: stcgal usage
Other Config
: Specific stc flash config.reference: stcgal option keys
After stcgal output a message: Cycling power done
, you need reset mcu to start a program flash process.
Otherwise, stcgal will be in the waiting state.
Use Shell Command
We support to use any shell command to program your flash.
Flash Command
: The shell command which will be executed when user trigger a program flash process.Erase Chip Command
: The shell command which will be executed when user trigger a erase flash process.
For Win32, the shell command will be executed by CMD.exe
.
For Linux, the shell command will be executed by /bin/bash
.
We have built-in a msys shell terminal environment, so you can execute unix command directly by bash
command.
There are some available variables for shell command:
${programFile}
: Path for the program file.the value is defined by
Base Config -> Program File
${port}
: available serial-port name (like:COM1, COMx
for win32;ttyUSB0, ttyUSBx
for linux).
The following variables are available when there are more than one program file that can be used:
${programFile[n]}
: Path for the NTH program file (n
starts from zero).${binAddr[n]}
: (only forbin
file) Flash start address for the NTH program file (n
starts from zero).
Some examples:
# execute unix shell script
bash ./xxx/xxx.sh [script arguments...]
# use NuLink to program nuvoton mcu
NuLink -w APROM "${programFile}"
# use stcflash to program stc 8051 mcu
python ./tools/stcflash.py -p ${port} "${programFile}"
# use STM32CubeProgramer + STLink probe to program STM32 mcu
STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD FREQ=4000 mode=NORMAL reset=SWrst --download "${programFile}" -v --go
