Support for STM32?

[markusthegeek]

Hi, would it be possible to add support for STM32F1 devices like Maple Mini clones?

Thank you so much for adding that support for SdFat!

ChibiOS/RT has excellent support for STM32.

I use it with devices like Maple Mini.

Thanks for the pointer! I guess I am coming to this backwards, I developed a program for Arduino nano first then migrated to the blue pill for more speed. Now I was wondering if I could potentially parallelize things. I saw there is also freertos 9 in the stm32 libs for Arduino...

Native ChibiOS/RT on STM32 is far better than a port of an RTOS to Arduino.

The HAL is truly multi-thread friendly. I/O for various devices overlap with threads sleeping when necessary, no delays wasting CPU. There are locks so threads optimally share devices.

I can run 10 threads on an 100 mbit Ethernet port and get 99% usage with fair sharing.

Sounds great! Any chance I can use Visual Studio Code as the ide? I finally got hardware debugging working with it albeit using the Arduino plugin which would not be relevant in this case.

The best development/debug environment is ChibiStudio.

ChibiStudio is a free ARM development environment based on Open Source tools and components. It has been created in order to support the development of ChibiOS itself and is now available as a free download.

Everything is required to start working with ChibiOS is encapsulated in a single download. It takes just two minutes to have your development board working with ChibiOS.

The workspace is preloaded with all demo applications, just compile, upload code and run.
