Embsysregview - Eclipse plugin and how to install it

-
In the last couple of days, I was trying to install Embsysregview for my Pixracer (STM32F427VI) to do debugging with Black Magic Probe, but it wasn't possible to install it because there is a problem inside download links when you trying to do it over Eclipse marketplace.

The solution is to download it locally and then install it.
You can download the ZIP file from this link: embsysregview.zip

Or by running these commands on Linux:

mkdir embsysregview
cd embsysregview 
wget http://embsysregview.sourceforge.net/update/site.xml 
mkdir -p features plugins 
pushd features 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/embsysregview/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview_feature_0.2.6.jar 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/embsysregview/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview.data_feature_0.2.6.r191.jar 
popd 
pushd plugins 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/embsysregview/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview_0.2.6.jar 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/embsysregview/org.eclipse.cdt.embsysregview.data_0.2.6.r191.jar 
popd


Inside Eclipse, you need to do as it shown at image 2 and 3.

Help->Install New Software ->Add->Local

then select downloaded or unpacked embsysregview folder

Image 2 - Select folder with the plugin

Image 3 - Select all for install

AUTOSAR and CRC calculation

If you find yourself reading AUTOSAR document Specification of CRC Routines you are probably looking for a solution on how to implement it in your code. This is short instruction without explaining how CRC works. It includes working CRC code with examples from the mentioned documentation. Explanation of CRC8 CRC 8 it means, the polynomial of CRC is 8 bit long.  Explaining chapter 7.2.1: CRC result width - it is the return value, it says it is 8 bits long Polynomial - this value is used to calculate CRC. In this case, it is 0x1D Initial value - CRC calculation start with this value. It is usually all F's or zeros.  Input data reflection - it says if the data which you want to do CRC need to be reflected or not. Example of data reflection: hex: 0x73 or binary: 1110011, reflected value is: 1100111 or hex 0x67 Result data reflected - same as input data, but the only result is reflected XOR value - result value need to be XOR-ed with this value before is r

Flashing/debugging/running code at external memory in the memory-mapped mode

  STM32 microcontrollers have special capabilities running code directly from external flash. To make it possible STM32 made a special set of instructions called memory-mapped mode where the microcontroller is reading instructions from the external flash. Since to read data from an external flash can take some time there is QSPI protocol witch basically four wires used as SPI MISO (Master Input Slave Output) to make throughput 4x time faster than classical SPI.   Figure 1 - Illustration of STM32H750 connected to W25Q128JV
