Get CPU device from code (build defines)

[MrZANE]

Hi

I have a device connecting to a cloud server and would like to report the CPU device type (Fex. STM32L431CC) selected in the Project->VisualGDB Project Properties->Embedded Project to the cloud (As we might change the CPU at a later time).
Is there a way to get the selected CPU device in code (Preferably as a string)?

I tried to enable the verbos build output (tools->Options->VisualGDB->General->Output->Enabled verbose = true) to see what kind buildtime defines there were but I couldn’t get it to output any more info than the filenames as they compiled.
Is that the right way to enable complete build commands?

Kind regards

Jimmy

Hi,

If you are using MSBuild, the output verbosity is controlled by Visual Studio itself and can be configured via Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run.

You can also find the preprocessor macros in the .rsp files inside your build directory (search for -D<macro> strings).

Normally, something like this would work:

#ifdef STM32L431CC
Report.DeviceType = MyIDForSTM32L431CC;
#elif defined (...)
Report.DeviceType = MyIDForSomethingElse;
#else
#error Unknown device. Add a check for it above.
#endif

That works just fine.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Jimmy
