Support more STM32 families about stm32-cmake

[mgiaco]

Hello ted-xp,

Can you explain how to build on windows a little bit better - please?
I have tried it but what do you mean with "Prepare initial CMake cache contents build_settings setting paths proper for your installation"

thanks

@mgiaco please post how you use it on windows so @ObKo could add this to the README.md

@mgiaco, sorry for not answering for so long - I'm pretty overloaded on my current job now -) I think it might be worth that you explain which steps were unclear to you so that I could explain it better in documentation (At least the words you cited were taken from my branch of @ObKo wonderful original work).

By the way, though I made some refactoring (mostly to suit my needs: using STM32F2 family and new StdPeriph releases) of the original code and made certain handy patches, I can't help feeling that the whole build method looks weird, complicated and difficult to maintain and to extend -(

Anyway my branch is currently used in production environment to build both under Windows and Linux. Though now I prefer to use https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/ toolchain instead of CodeSourcery mentioned in documentation file.

@ted-xp and @jerryjacobs so I only use the fork from ted-xp to build a project for an STM32F1 with the latest STM Lib for the F1. I do not use the Cube stuff till now. So add a branch to my fork I named it ted_update. So I always use out of source builds with cmake so .. I added a read.me in cmsis and in stdp.. and also in the blinky. For the blinky I also added a fab file to build with fabric. That´s really nice I think you can use python fabric to cal local make stuff :-) This also works from eclipse

In the next days I will switch back to the original master from @ObKo because he updated the whole stuff to the new Cube Libs a few days ago :-). I only use F1 and F4 devices so I can go with it I think. My goal is to build on windows for work and linux for daily test and build. So I only tried windows now. On linux I think i do not need the the cached build settings - right?

Have you already tried to build on windows with the new master from @ObKo ?

thanks mathias

Since this issue becomes discussion thread, there is some further improvements I'm planning to done:

• CMSIS and HAL now used as sources, so projects for CMSIS and HAL is useless. In future, cmake scripts will search for sources directly in STM32CubeMX folders using STM32Cube_DIR variable.
• Script for searching Cube's HAL will support cmake's COMPONENTS for selecting required hal components as it already done in ChibiOS scripts.
• (maybe) Autogeneration of linker script and stm32f*_hal_conf.h

I use STM32L152RCT6 chip. Can you help me to use this project for this chip?
