The bundled example targets STM32F405 and includes firmware sources, FreeRTOS material, drivers, linker scripts and a bootloader subproject. It is an example for a particular target, not a template for every MCU.

​
A useful ten-minute exercise

  1. Choose Try demo from the welcome screen. The tour opens source and explains the workspace.
  2. Inspect main.c, its includes and the driver sources. Find the target and linker configuration before changing code.
  3. Run Build. If the compiler is missing, use tool detection to identify the dependency instead of changing the source.
  4. In the editor, try register completion after RCC->. Hover a documented register and inspect its address, access and fields.
  5. Use the hover’s Ask AI link. Ask: “Explain the IWDG prescaler using the attached SVD and cite its source. What still requires the reference manual?”
  6. Compare the response with the attached evidence. A reset value is not a measurement from a running board.
  7. If a supported simulator is configured, use that session for debugging. Otherwise connect matching hardware and explicitly select the image and probe.
The tour never flashes a board automatically. Replay it from Help. On your own project, the navigation is the same but the chip-specific example instructions may not apply.

Next experiment

Make a small source change, rebuild, and inspect the diff and build output. Attach an actual compiler diagnostic to Ask AI. This demonstrates the edit/build/diagnose loop without requiring a probe.
