[En-Nut-Discussion] STM32L1xx series status

[Ulrich Prinz]

Hi Uwe!

Nice to hear that there is work in progress. I would love to share some
ideas, we should probably do some hangout session or voicecall an then put
the results in here.

I design a new generation of home automation modules and current drawn is
what counts. So I will start designing on L1 but probably move to L0 as
soon as they are available in a case that matches our needs. 800uA compared
to 400uA is a matter for us.

I am trying to get the STM32L151UCY going and that fails for selection of
the right linker script. If you load the l1_discovery configuration there
is a script set and you can compile some of the demo apps. But I need to
change the chip and the clocks as the chip isn't 32k but 256k Flash and the
clock on our board and the new revisions of NUCLEOs is not 8MHz Xtal at HSE
but soemthing from internal MSI or HSI... Need to check that.

If you then click the linker script, the preset script disappeares and you
cannot select anything else. I am working with qnutconf under Ubuntu
14.04.X LTS.

I had the same problems with L152 and other boards. But I gave up testing
all of them. I'd focus a bit on the project and if everything runs fine,
I'll share the benefits with the other devices. I do have a lot of
different kits from ST so I can test a wide range of chips.

Cu
Ulrich
