#65 F4 StdPeriph Template Please
Would it be possible to get the STM32F4 StdPeriph template back? The HAL driver can stay but would it be possible to also have the StdPeriph template available for those of use who do not use HAL and do not wish to do so?
It's time consuming and painful to create an empty F3 or F4 HAL project and then change the libraries and symbols to non-HAL F4.
Here are a few reasons:
1.) There are many 3rd party libraries that aren't compatible with HAL drivers.
2.) HAL library is buggy and unstable.
3.) We're heavily invested in F4 StdPeriph-compatible code - we have StdPeriph-compatible snippets, libraries and drivers that we can easily pull into a new project to decrease development time, but the replacement of StdPeriph with HAL drivers break everything.
Other than the above thanks for a great tool! Much appreciated.
The GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-ins is currently transitioning to using Packs, which will allow a much greater flexibility compared with the current templates.
By then I might consider a package with the old library.
Until then I suggest you create an empty F4 HAL project, update it to StdPeriph and save it to a place of you choice; later you use it as Import source for your future projects.
