I'm an electronics engineer and embedded systems developer. For more than 20 years I've been writing C for STM32 microcontrollers, and most of that time has gone into one goal: making libraries that are actually easy to use.

I got tired of fighting messy drivers and overcomplicated code, so I started writing my own, cleaning them up, and sharing them with anyone who needs them.

Lightweight, non-blocking, easy to drop in C libraries for STM32 (HAL and LL), covering storage, communication, sensors and general drivers. The idea is always the same: add the library to your project and have it working in minutes, not days.

That is what the installers below are for: one command puts a library into an STM32, Zephyr, ESP-IDF, Arduino or PlatformIO project. They work with anyone's library, not only mine, once it has an installer.yml.

Installing one of my libraries takes one command. stm32-installer copies the files into your project and adds the library to your CMake, STM32CubeIDE, Keil, IAR or Makefile project, backing up the project file first. Any library it needs comes with it, and an update keeps your settings.

pip install stm32-installer
stm32-installer nimaltd/stm32-installer-example

That one is stm32-installer-example, a small library made for trying the installer on: it builds in any STM32 project and blinks an LED without HAL_Delay().

Libraries you can install with it:

The rest are moving to it one by one, and this list grows as they do.

The same one command for Zephyr and nRF Connect SDK. zephyr-installer makes the library a Zephyr module of your application, adds it to your CMakeLists.txt and switches it on in prj.conf, with its settings in Kconfig. Every installer here reads the same installer.yml, so one library can go into an STM32 project, a Zephyr application, an ESP-IDF project, an Arduino sketch or a PlatformIO project alike, and --uninstall takes it out again.

pip install zephyr-installer
zephyr-installer nimaltd/zephyr-installer-example

That one is zephyr-installer-example, a small library made for trying the installer on: it builds in any Zephyr application, native_sim included, with its settings in Kconfig.

The same one command for ESP-IDF, on any ESP32 chip. esp32-installer makes the library a component in your project's components folder, with its own CMakeLists.txt, its settings in idf.py menuconfig, and the symbols it needs in sdkconfig.defaults. Then idf.py build picks it up like any other component.

pip install esp32-installer
esp32-installer nimaltd/esp32-installer-example

That one is esp32-installer-example, a small library made for trying the installer on: a period that never blocks, with its settings in menuconfig.

The same one command for the Arduino IDE and arduino-cli. arduino-installer puts the library where you choose: in the libraries folder of your sketchbook, for every sketch, with the library.properties Arduino knows it by, or in one sketch's src folder, for that sketch alone.

pip install arduino-installer
arduino-installer nimaltd/arduino-installer-example

That one is arduino-installer-example, a small library made for trying the installer on: it builds for any board and prints on Serial.

The same one command for PlatformIO, with any framework. pio-installer puts the library into your project's lib folder with the library.json PlatformIO builds it by, and the defines it needs into platformio.ini, for every environment. Arduino, ESP-IDF, STM32Cube, or no framework at all on the native platform.

pip install pio-installer
pio-installer nimaltd/pio-installer-example

That one is pio-installer-example, a small library made for trying the installer on: it builds with every framework, and runs on your computer on the native platform, with no board at all.

Every library I publish is free and open source. It's my way of giving something back to the embedded community that taught me so much over the years.

If a library saves you time, a ⭐ on the repo or a small donation on Ko-fi means a lot to me. It's a small thing for you, but it genuinely keeps me motivated to keep writing, documenting and maintaining these libraries.

Thanks for stopping by. If any of my work is useful to you, a star on the repo or a small donation helps more than you'd think, and I appreciate every bit of it. ⚙️
