Hi,

Is it possible, or are there any experiences in using the Raisonance tools (Ride7, RKit-ARM, RLink JTAG-Adapter)
(and FreeRTOS too)
on the Keil evaluation boards MCBSTM32 and/or MCB2388 ?

Hi,

The RLink (all versions except the very old v1.x in white box with the 14-pin connector only) should work fine with all the properly designed STM32 boards, as the STM32 is supported by Ride and the JTAG/SWD connector on the RLink (or its adapter) is the standard one defined by ARM.

I have not tested this particular board myself, but you must just check two things on the board's schematic:

1. Check that the JTAG/SWD connector on the board matches the standard defined by ARM.
(http://217.71.112.106/Forum/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=2449)

2. Make sure that the RST and TRST signals are not connected together on the board (usually they are either not connected or can be disconnected by unplugging a jumper) and that they are both connected from the RLink to the STM32. (that should be fine, but it's worth checking)

I had a quick glance at the MCBSTM32 v1.1 schematic and everything looks fine.
Let us know if you have any problems.

The MBC2388 will not work, as the LPC2388 is not supported by Ride for now. It is planned to add it one day, (like all ARM CPUs ;) ) but I cannot give any date. ;/ The good news is that when it is done, you will only need to update the Ride software and all the RLinks, old and new, will support it without any hardware change.

Best Regards,

Vincent

Thanks Vincent.

Unfortunately we prefer the MBC2388...
And finally this could be a solution with Eclipse/gcc and an ARM-USB-OCD JTAG Adapter.
Or is a solution with Eclipse/gcc (for details see FreeRTOS port for ARM7 - LPC2368)
together with RLink JTAG-Adapter possible?

Ralf
