8
9``pw_sys_io_baremetal_stm32f429`` implements the ``pw_sys_io`` facade over
10UART.
11
12The STM32F429 baremetal sys IO backend provides device startup code and a UART
13driver layer that allows applications built against the ``pw_sys_io`` interface
14to run on a STM32F429 chip and do simple input/output via UART. The code is
15optimized for the STM32F429I-DISC1, using USART1 (which is connected to the
16virtual COM port on the embedded ST-LINKv2 chip). However, this should work with
17all STM32F429 variations (and even some STM32F4xx chips).
18
19This backend has no configuration options. The point of it is to provide bare-
20minimum platform code needed to do UART reads/writes.
21
22Setup
23=====
24This module requires relatively minimal setup:
25
261. Write code against the ``pw_sys_io`` facade.
272. Set the backend, in a way appropriate to your build system:
28
29   *  In GN, specify the ``dir_pw_sys_io_backend`` GN global variable to point to this
30      backend.
31   *  In Bazel, set the ``--@pigweed//pw_sys_io:backend`` label flag to
32      ``@pigweed//pw_sys_io_baremetal_stm32f429``. Also, add the
33      ``@pigweed//pw_sys_io_baremetal_stm32f429:compatible`` constraint to
34      your platform, to indicate that the platform is compatible with
35      this backend.
36
373. Build an executable with a main() function using a toolchain that
38   supports Cortex-M4.
39
40.. note::
41   This module provides early firmware init and a linker script, so it will
42   conflict with other modules that do any early device init or provide a linker
43   script.

45Module usage
46============
47After building an executable that utilizes this backend, flash the
48produced .elf binary to the development board. Then, using a serial
49communication terminal like minicom/screen (Linux/Mac) or TeraTerm (Windows),
50connect to the device at a baud rate of 115200 (8N1). If you're not using a
51STM32F429I-DISC1 development board, manually connect a USB-to-serial TTL adapter
52to pins ``PA9`` (MCU TX) and ``PA10`` (MCU RX), making sure to match logic
53levels (e.g. 3.3V versus 1.8V).
