GD32F425RGT6 MCU are there any HAL library

[FlyingDutch]

Hello forum,

I am seeking possibility to use MCU GD32F425RGT6 instead of couterpart from STM32 family. I have code written for STM32 using HAL library. I download firmware library from www.gigadevice.com WWW page. As far as I can see there is not provided HAL library, but only "Standard Peripheral" library. Is anybody aware if it is possible to use HAL library from counterpart STM32 MCU? Can GD32xx MCUs be programmed in "STM32CubeIDE"? All co9mmens are warmly welcome 

Thanks in advance and Regards

See attached - not sure if this helps.

Hello @mon2,

 thanks for your answer, but this link is for GD32F103 device which is different from GD32F425RGT6 (it is ARM Cortex-M4) and it also seems that these library called HAL is stil "Standard Peripheral" library (it is not counterpart for STM32 HAl library.

Thanks and Regards

My guess is that when the two devices have the same peripheral setup you would be able to use the STM32 HAL to write your code and run it on the GD32. But when there is a slight difference in register or bit usage you can experience strange errors and can be hell to find what is wrong.

So the first step to take is to compare the two devices. Just learned about cmsis-svd. There are XML files that hold the peripheral layout of the devices. Attached is the one from the GigaDevice one. It can be found in the Addon package here: https://www.gd32mcu.com/en/download/0?kw=GD32F4

Look for the svd file for the STM32 device you have in mind on the net and compare if the peripherals are the same and have the same register setup.

Hello @pcprogrammer,

thanks for your comment - it seems to be good idea.

Thanks nad Regards

I recall Gigadevices having a device library, almost identical to the previous ST library, before the HAL.
