SerialRegister

An interactive MCU register accessor through UART

Currently supporting STM32G4 only

Usage

In MCU

1. Create a project based on SerialRegister.ioc
   • If you want to create a project from scratch, remember to correctly configure USART, DMA and their interrupts
2. Add uart_reg.h to includes and uart_reg.cpp to sources
3. Call uart_init()
4. Remerber that handlers are invoked in USART interrupts, so don't use HAL_Delay in handlers

In Jupyter

1. from g474 import *
2. Type the register name just like writing C (with -> replaced by .), e.g. TIM1.CNT
3. For reading, just type the name and press Shift+Enter, it will print a table like the register description in Reference Manual; for writing, just make an assignment
4. You can access the whole register or bit fields, e.g. TIM1.CR1.CEN = 1, which will be converted to a read-modify-write access; don't use operators like |=

Future Plans

1. Generating register map from SVD file
2. Eliminating UART and DMA configurations in STM32CubeMX - rewrite the framework with register access
3. Adding 8- and 16-bit accessors to registers, and shortening UART transmissions
