Hi,

I am using the HAL driver for the CAN interface of an STM32F207. I noticed that the payload data in the current driver for the F2 is unneccessarily defined as arrays of uint32_t. In the current release for the STM32F4 this was changed to uint8_t. This change is also mentioned in the release notes for the STM32F4. For the F2 no new releases were published for over a year. Will there be any new releases for the F2 or has ST stopped support? I have already contacted ST on this but no answer so far.

Regards, Ralph

    Hello Christopher,

    I confirm that STM32CubeF2 still being supported. A new release will be available soon to be aligned with other packages and fix some issues.

    Hi Mayla,

    can you give a date on this? Will it be weeks, months, years? I have to decide if I want to code around the bugs or wait for the new release. If it takes longer, I will need a list of known bugs. I guess I am not the only one.

    Always assume you're on your own, and plan accordingly.

    The F4 and F2 parts are *very* similar on the peripheral side. Your most effective course of action would be to merge/diff the pieces/examples you're most concerned with.

    Hi Mayla,

    we want to use STM32F207 for our new project, but HAL driver is very old.

    When

    will be available a new release ?
