write a complete code for STM32F407

[jab99407]

I have some basic understanding of microcontroller, C programming language and did some projects about this. There is no doubt, STM32Cube code generator is very useful but I don't want to use code generated by STM32Cube.

This is my basic template. if I want to write complete for stm32f407 board I will need to include header file. I have datasheet so how to write my own header file by looking information into datasheet.

void main(void)
{
   initialize();
   while (1)
      {
    
      
      }
}

Just get one of the standard device headers for the STM32 that already exist; no point "reinventing the wheel".
eg.

Espruino/targetlibs/stm32f4/lib/stm32f4xx.h at master · espruino/Espruino

The Espruino JavaScript interpreter - Official Repo - espruino/Espruino

github.com

Set the appropriate device type in the first few lines of that, where it says.

Then you can write the actual C program you want!

Edit - typo

 

[jab99407]

Set the appropriate device type in the first dew lines of that, where it says.

I don't understand what is meaning of "Set the appropriate device type in the first dew lines of that, where it says." Can you explain clearly

#include"stm32f4xx.h"

void main(void)
{
   initialize();
   while (1)
      {
    
      
      }
}

It should have said "First few lines".

See this section of the header file:

#endif

Just do as it says and uncomment the define relevant to the device you are using:
#define STM32F407xx /*!< STM32F407VG, STM32F407VE, STM32F407ZG, STM32F407ZE, STM32F407IG and STM32F407IE Devices */


Or you could add the appropriate #define on a line before the #include for that header file, at the start of your program:

#define STM32F407xx
#include "stm32f4xx.h"

Thanks for help I now want to test code practically. user manual of IDE https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/dm00629856-stm32cubeide-user-guide-stmicroelectronics.pdf I can create project for specific board. Do you have any idea how to create project from scratch stm32f407G
