[Nix-dev] Cross development for STM32

[Philip Potter]

Hi Tim,

I've been compiling some stuff for STM32 recently -- in particular,
the micropython fork for the STM32-based TiLDA-Mk3 board [1][2]. I
just had to install the gcc-arm-embedded package and I was able to
start compiling code.

My shell.nix (for setting up a nix-shell development environment) was
not particularly complicated:

let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
  stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
in
stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "micropython-0.0.1";
  buildInputs = with pkgs; [ git cmake python pythonPackages.pyusb
pkgs.libusb1 gcc-arm-embedded ];
}

With this, I was able to clone https://github.com/emfcamp/micropython
and run `make -C stmhal BOARD=STM32L475_EMFBADGE` to build the .dfu
file.

Phil
