How to program any MCU of ARM

[Sashvat]

Hi guys,

I want to make a small drone from an ARM processor and I don't know how to upload code to it. I tried reading the MCU's data sheet and wasn't able to as it was too complex for me. I am just a beginner into this and don't know how to upload code to a MCU except for Atmel MCU's. All I know a specific circuit needs to be made to upload code.

So what are the parameters/general instructions needed to build this circuit for any ARM MCU to upload this code I have made? What components are required and how does this circuit work?

Thank you!

What ARM MCU?
What board is it on?
More information!

How have you "made" code for it when you appear to know nothing about the processor?

I meant to say, I am ready to code at any given point at time so I just need help in uploading it. The IDE and everything else is ready just need help with the circuit building.

It is a STM32F031K4, STM32F405RGT6, MK20DX256VLH7, STM32F031K6T7 or STM32F103C8T6. These are the processors I am considering to use

Also, I am not someone who's a novice/doesnt know anything in MCUs, just need help with this part

Those micros have development boards. Get the "get started manual" and read.

You need something like a J-Link EDU.

As I have mentioned, I want to make a small drone, I have checked these development boards and they are huge, out of my drone's area.

is it this you are talking about? if yes how do I use it? Just plug it in and upload my code?

 

[dknguyen]

Yes.

 

[Sashvat]

Yes.

Which one do I use? the Mini or the other one? just plug and play?

is this also a good option to program them- "https://robu.in/product/st-link-v2-programmer-for-stm8-and-stm32/" ?

That's fine too. Mini is just cheaper and slower.

Thanks a lot
