Windows - The Embedded Rust Book

# Windows

## `arm-none-eabi-gdb`

ARM provides `.exe` installers for Windows. Grab one from here, and follow the instructions. Just before the installation process finishes tick/select the "Add path to environment variable" option. Then verify that the tools are in your `%PATH%`:

    $ arm-none-eabi-gdb -v
    GNU gdb (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 7-2018-q2-update) 8.1.0.20180315-git
    (..)

## OpenOCD

There's no official binary release of OpenOCD for Windows but if you're not in the mood to compile it yourself, the xPack project provides a binary distribution, here. Follow the provided installation instructions. Then update your `%PATH%` environment variable to include the path where the binaries were installed. (`C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\xPacks\@xpack-dev-tools\openocd\0.10.0-13.1\.content\bin\`, if you've been using the easy install)

Verify that OpenOCD is in your `%PATH%` with:

    $ openocd -v
    Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0
    (..)

## QEMU

Grab QEMU from the official website.

## ST-LINK USB driver

You'll also need to install this USB driver or OpenOCD won't work. Follow the installer instructions and make sure you install the right version (32-bit or 64-bit) of the driver.

That's all! Go to the next section.
