Hello,
I am new to ARM microcontrollers. I have planned to buy STM32 discovery kits from STMicroelectronics. I need to know which IDE is the best for this purpose. I also need to know if there is any book on ARM microcontrollers for beginners that could give me a kick start. Can anyone suggest me something ?
I have previously worked on PIC18F, PIC16F on CCS C Compiler.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello Muhibraza,
first, let me answer the question about the books. On this page: Microprocessor Systems/Applications Textbooks for Educator… - ARM you will find a lot of interesting books that can help you with learning more about ARM based microprocessors.
As for the IDE this is not so easy. There are a lot of them out there: Keil, IAR, Atollic, etc. For these three you will find user manuals at STMicroelectronics that help you in getting started quickly. Keil MDK fully supports the STM32 family will software packs. If you want to know more, check out www.keil.com/dd2, and www.keil.com/boards2.
Kind regards,
Christopher
