🛠️ Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system (Linux/Ubuntu):

• ARM GNU Toolchain: gcc-arm-none-eabi
• Build Tools: cmake and ninja-build
• Flashing/Debugging: openocd

(Ubuntu/Debian install command: sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi cmake ninja-build openocd)

🚀 How to Build

1. Navigate to the working project directory:

   cd Main/STM32_Motor_Control

2. Configure the CMake project (first time only):

   cmake -S . -B build

3. Compile the code:

   cmake --build build

⚡ Flashing and Viewing Output

We use ARM Semihosting to print messages (like the 3 Ultrasonic distances) directly to the terminal without needing an extra TTL/UART adapter.

1. Connect your ST-Link v2 to the STM32 and plug it into your PC.
2. Run the flashing script (from within the Main/STM32_Motor_Control folder):

   sudo ./flash_and_view.sh

3. The script will automatically flash the MCU, soft reset it, and display the live output prints directly in your terminal!
