Thee are two possibility:
1) Load only an example to compile and debug it. Click here to go to this explanation.
2) Load all the examples and then select one to compile and debug. Click here to go to this explanation.









Load only an example to compile and debug it

 Preconditions:
  • The PC operating system is Windows XP SP3.
  • In the PC is installed the free Atollic software (TrueSTUSIO STM32 Lite 1.4.0).
  • For test the example below is used the STM32 Discovery.
  • We use the directory:
    C:\EsempiSW\STM32\AN3268-STM32Disc-SYSTick-Atollic
    inside it there is the directory:
    an3268
    In this directory (an3268) there is the software concerning the an3268

  • We want to use the example:
    GPIOTogle
  • What does the example:
    The program will flash the two LEDs (green and blue) present on STM32 Discovery.

STEP n.1


Start:
Atollic TrueSTUDIO and Select the: TrueSTUDIO under: Master Workspace directory
C:\EsempiSW\STM32\AN3268-STM32Disc-SYSTick-Atollic\an3268\stm32vldiscovery_package\Project\Master Workspace\TrueSTUDIO
and press OK

From the window that appear click on:
Start using TrueSTUDIO


STEP n.2


Now, select:
File->Import
and from the window that appear select:
General->Existing Project into Workspace
and press:
Next
From the new window that appear click on Browse and select:
C:\EsempiSW\STM32\AN3268-STM32Disc-SYSTick-Atollic\an3268\stm32vldiscovery_package\Project\Examples\SysTick
and press OK
and then press:
Finish

STEP n.3

Now click on:
Windows->Preferences    from the window that appear select:   General->Workspace->Linked Resources
Now press:
New
add a variable path named "CurPath" that is:
C:\EsempiSW\STM32\AN3268-STM32Disc-SYSTick-Atollic\an3268\stm32vldiscovery_package
and then press:
OK

STEP n.4

Compile the project, for do this press:
Cltrl+B or press the icon:


STEP n.5

Debug the project
Select the name of the project, in my case:
SysTick
and then press F11 or the the:  insect icon  and verify that the configurations are the same of the figure below.


Press OK and you are in debug windows, which provides a number of docking views and windows suitable for debugging

ATTENTION: If you see on the display a windows like this:


You are in debug but the debug environment is not open, to open the debug environment press on the insect icon, see above the red arrow.

A number of execution control functions are now available from the Run Menu.

Alternatively, use the corresponding execution control commands in the Run control toolbar.


Variables:
The Global Variables are automatically displayed in the Variable Window.
For add a Global Variable to the Window Variable do this:
click inside it with the right button of mouse and from the popup windows select:
Add Global Variables
Another way to add a Global Variable is clik on the icon:



Breakpoint
For insert Breakpoint click twice near the number of the line.
For remove Breakpoint click twice on it.

ASM
For see the ASM code click on the icon

Stop Debug
When the debug session is completed, the running application must be stopped by clicking on the icon: 
Atollic TrueSTUDIO now automatically switch to the C/C++ editing perspective.
