Installing OpenSTM32 System Workbench

Now the OpenSTM32 system workbench is downloaded into the Software and Toolchain folder (Figure 1).

Figure 1. STM32 installer downloaded into Software and Toolchain folder.

Now let’s install that software.

Steps:

1. Click on the STM32 installer shown in Figure 1.

2. Now it is trying to install (Figure 2). In Figure 3, you can see that it is throwing some errors. But it is trying to execute that exe. Please be patient.

3. After that, you will get the window, as shown in Figure 4, and just click next.

4. Accept the terms of the license agreement and click next (Figure 5).

5. Then it will ask you to select the installation path (Figure 6), the place where exactly you want to store these installation files. You have to select your drive here. By default, it will consider a C drive. If you don’t have enough memory in your C drive, then you can change it. Now let’s change the drive to D drive, as shown in Figure 7.

Then click next. It will create the folder AC6\SystemWorkbench.

7. After that, you will get a setup shortcuts window (Figure 9). Just click on next.

8. After that, you will see another popup window showing the installation settings. The popup shown in Figure 10 contains information about the installation path and chosen installation packs. Let’s click next.

11. It is throwing some errors, as shown in Figure 14. Now you can click yes to continue the installation.

12. The installation is complete (Figure 15) and now let’s click next.

13. After clicking next, it will ask your permission to install the device driver (Figure 16). Let’s click next here.

14. Now the ST-Link drivers are successfully installed on your computer (Figure 17). Now let’s click finish. After that, you will get a processing window (Figure 18), click next.

15. STM32 system workbench installation has been completed successfully (Figure 19), and you can click done.

16. The system workbench for the STM32 microcontroller is successfully installed in the D drive, as shown in Figure 20.

Steps to launch the application:

1. The application is installed under the Ac6 folder.

2. You can see the installed application under the Ac6 folder, as shown in Figure 21. Just double-click over that to launch the openSTM32 system workbench. This is one method.
