This project contains the pinout model for the "washing machine" kata, along with the generated HAL, using ST micro's STM32CubeMX tool, in standalone mode.

It's not expected you'll use this as-is for a project, but incorporate it into one of your own, either by copying, or by using as a Git submodule (the latter probably the best option).

The full report on pin assignments and configuration are stored in this repository as a text file and a PDF file. Here are the edited highlights though:

The HAL code is generated by a tool. Few people would consider it aesthetically pleasing - it's designed for parameterisation and code generation by a tool, rather than for maintenance by hand. Most developers will choose to do their implementation entirely outside of this framework.

A hook is provided that calls a (declared, not defined) function:

extern void run(ADC_HandleTypeDef*, SPI_HandleTypeDef*,
                TIM_HandleTypeDef*, UART_HandleTypeDef*);

Following initialisation in the tool-generated main.c, the peripheral hardware is set to safe defaults - the PWM duty cycle is set to zero, all discrete LEDs are off, and the 7-segment diplay set to a low-intensity setting with a dash character across all four digits.

The run_application function is called, passing the initialised hardware resource handles for SPI, ADC, PWM (htim2) and UART. It's up to you to either implement that function call, or comment/delete it, if you'd prefer to implement directly in the main.c - and I'd advise against that if you want to do TDD.

It's expected that the call will never return, because it will start the FreeRTOS scheduler. Consequently, the code further down main() will never be called.

  ...
  osThreadDef(defaultTask, StartDefaultTask, osPriorityNormal, 0, 128);
  defaultTaskHandle = osThreadCreate(osThread(defaultTask), NULL);

  ...
  osKernelStart();

It's left in place, but you can delete it if you plan to start the scheduler in run_application.

The FreeRTOS version in this implementation is instrumented for Segger "Real Time Transfer" (RTT). This is a library for transmitting high-resolution telemetry from the target device back to a debugger over the JTAG/SWD debugger.

Note: if you regenerate the code from STMCube, be aware that you will overwrite these modifications, so you will need to cherry-pick the hunks you want to commit if you want the RTT telemetry preserved.

Virtually all the generated code in here is pumped out from the STMCube tool:

• ST Micro's source files all have their own copyright statement.

• The FreeRTOS sources are under a modified version of the GNU GPL license (for v9.0 - this changes in the v10.x kernel to MIT...).

• The design of the washing machine kata itself is a Free Hardware Design, released under the GNU GPL v3 (c) 13coders Limited. The only artifact in here that could be said to be covered by that licesnse is the pinout model itself, in the .ioc file.
