MXCube F302 timer driver will not compile from generation

using mxCube 4.24.0

Keil 5.25.0.0

using timer             :6 

prescalar                :64

Counter                  :up

Counter period      65535

autoload preload  : disable 

Cube produces 

void MX_TIM6_Init(void)

{  TIM_MasterConfigTypeDef sMasterConfig;

  htim6.Instance = TIM6;

  htim6.Init.Prescaler = 64;  htim6.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;  htim6.Init.Period = 65535;  htim6.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;

This line causes the error 

  htim6.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;

from Keil IDE 

../Src/tim.c(58): error:  #136: struct '<unnamed>'  has no field 'AutoReloadPreload'

    htim6.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;../Src/tim.c(58): error:  #20: identifier 'TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE' is undefined    htim6.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;../Src/tim.c: 0 warnings, 2 errors

work around is to comment out 

//  htim6.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_DISABLE;

When is the next mxCube update due ?

Hello

Curran.Danny

,

I cannot reproduce this issue using CubeMx 4.24 and STM32CubeF3 v1.9.0.

May be you need to review ifyour project includes the right files and defines symbols.

Please share your ioc file to check this issue.

Best Regards

Imen

I have added the *.ioc file that produces the code

Hello

Curran.Danny

,

It seems you are using old CubeF3 firmware package!

Please download and check with the latest version

STM32CubeF3 v1.9.0, then keep me informed about your result.

Kind Regards

Does this mean you cant use an old cube project with a newer version of the Firmware libraries automatically ?

e.g. the firmware lib is not automatically updated to use the latest version. ? 

 I have done as suggested and Cube produces different code

taken from the ioc file I can now see the following

ProjectManager.CustomerFirmwarePackage=C\:\\Users\\dcurran\\STM32Cube\\Repository\\STM32Cube_FW_F3_V1.9.0

ProjectManager.FirmwarePackage=STM32Cube FW_F3 V1.4.0

I can also see new *.h files

Can I suggest to your dev team that they make the user more aware that a old firmware package is in the ioc file

as I had all the previous versions of the F3 lib  and it wasn't until I removed all previous firmware libs that cube indicated there was an option

When I open your ioc file and Project settings, I see you are using the firmware version 

STM32Cube_FW_F3_V1.4.0.

Please check In your Project Settings menu that the firmware package version used is STM32Cube_FW_F3_V1.9.0, Otherwise, you should update the firmware location to use the latest version.

Hi

Curran.Danny

,

It's recommended to use latest version of Cube firmware package and CubeMx tool as there is always enhancement and bugsfixes in the new release.

STM32CubeMX can check if there is a

new library package installation or updates

for new STM32CubeMX tool version.

For that, in the Help > Updater Settings tab, you shouldenable the Automatic check for updates.

In the Project Tab, there isa Use Default Firmware Location

checkbox

(which is specified under the Menu Help > Updater settings)

specifying

the

path forthe

installed firmware packages version and by default, the latest available version is used for the project.

I recommend you check the user Manual

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/user_manual/10/c5/1a/43/3a/70/43/7d/DM001047pdf/files/DM001047pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM001047pdf

''STM32CubeMx for STM32 configuration and initialization C code generation'' for more details.

Kind Regards,
