Setup
1. CH34x USB Driver Setup
We sometimes get problem with USB driver for CH340/CH341
USB to serial converter. It can be solved by removing brltty
package.
Remove brltty
.
sudo apt autoremove brltty
2. Creating .desktop
files for application on Linux
Some applications do not appear on application menu which can be solved by creating .desktop
file. Create a .desktop
files at /home/$USER/.local/share/applications
. Add following informations:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=<Name>
Comment=<Content>
Exec=<path/to/executable>
Icon=<path/to/icon>
Some applications which do not appear on application menu are:
Arduino IDE
Creat ‘arduino-ide.desktop’ file in ~/.local/share/applications
directory, and add the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Arduino IDE
Comment=Arduino IDE 2.3.2
Exec=/home/sagar/.arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit/arduino-ide
Icon=/home/sagar/.arduino-ide_2.3.2_Linux_64bit/resources/app/resources/icons/512x512.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development
STM32CubeMX
Create ‘STM32CubeMX.desktop’ file in ~/.local/share/applications
directory, and add the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Development
Comment=STM32CubeMX 6.12.0
Comment[en]=STM32CubeMX-Cube 6.12.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/home/sagar/STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeMX
Icon=/home/sagar/STM32CubeMX/help/STM32CubeMX.ico
Name=STM32CubeMX
Name[en]=STM32CubeMX
Path=/home/sagar/STM32CubeMX
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=root
StartupWMClass=com-st-microxplorer-maingui-STM32CubeMX
STM32CubeMX
icon does not appear on dock. The last three lines solve the problem.
Update desktop database.
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
Note
Make sure, the executable file has permission for execution. If not, you can change it as:
sudo chmod +x <path/to/executable>
3. STM32CubeProgrammer Setup
STM32Cube_Programmer_CLI
is not on environment by default. So, create a symbolic link to your STM32_Programmer_CLI
in ~/.local/bin
.
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin # if does not exist
ln -s ~/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI ~/.local/bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI
4. Git Setup
Set username and email.
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
Set default code editor.
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
Verify configurations.
git config --list
5. SSH Setup
To push code on repository using https
, you need to enter password every time. So, we use ssh
for authentication.
Generate an SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
Press Enter
to save the key to the default location.
Add the SSH key to the agent:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
See the ssh-key.
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Add the ssh-key to your github account. Go to Github > Settings > SSH and GPG Keys
. Add new ssh key.
