Some notes on the Maple Mini

(http://wiki.stm32duino.com/index.php?title=Maple_Mini)

• The install.sh script needs to be run from the folder.

Steps for Linux Installation:

• The install.sh steps
• Download the Arduino_STM32 libraries and unzip them into arduino-1.8.3/hardware folder.
• Go in to Arduino IDE > Boards Manager > Search for Zero and install. This should install the arm-none-eabi-g++ toolchain.

NOTE: The board may not be detected by Arduino IDE, but you can still upload to it.

Bootloader flashing over a USB connection:

• Download maple_mini_boot20.bin (or the right one for your board)

• In a terminal:

  git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/dfu-util/dfu-util

  cd dfu-util

  sudo apt-get install autoconf

  sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0 libusb-1.0.0-dev

  sudo apt-get pkg-config

• Add following to makefile.am

  ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I /opt/local/share/aclocal

• In a terminal:

  ./autogen.sh

  ./configure

  make

  sudo make install

  lsusb #lists out the 1eaf board identifier, used next

  sudo dfu-util -d [1eaf:0003] -a 1 -v -D ~/Downloads/maple_mini_boot.bin

• To upload your sketch:

  • Press reset on the board. The LED will blink fast, then slow.
  • When the LED is blinking slow: it's in the boot mode.
  • Hit the upload button on the arduino ide during this stage.
