Hi,

I am trying to migrate from STM32 Standard peripheral libraries to HAL libraries. I have few queries here:

1)   Can i use HAL libraries with Keil without first creating project in CubeMX? I just want to build my project just from skretch like in case of SPL but every where i see example on how to use CubeMx. CubeMx adds a lot text and comments for user code/variables etc. which sometimes create difficulties maintaining own code. I just want to use HAL libraries by just adding appropriate files to my project. How can i do that?

2)   I can't see any direct link to HAL libraries on ST website. The download links seems to be downloading CubeMX??

3)  What benefits HAL libraries have over SPL??

Ad1. Of course. All the ST-provide examples are not generated by the CubeMX. See Ad2

Ad3. Theoretically you can easily migrate from one MCU to another, easy prototyping
