Project from .ioc file for STM32F746BGTx board asks for FW F7 V1.7.0

Hello everyone,

I am currently a student in computer science. For an association project (linked to my school), I must take over a project which used a STM32F746BGTx LQFP208 board. The whole project contains a .ioc file, the generated sources and a lot of custom sources for achieving the past goals of the project I am taking over.

The problem is, when I want to create a new STM32 Project from an existing STM32CubeMX configuration file (.ioc), it says the project is using STM32 FW F7 V1.7.0, which is not available on the ST website. It doesn't generate the sources after that (which I don't want, I only want to be able to open the project, to work on it and to build/compile it). I have tried to open it with FW F7 V1.15.0 & V1.16.0 but it didn't worked. Same by opening project from file system, I can't open the .ioc file.

I am working in my association local network, which is secured from Internet, so I can't directly download the FW update, I must import it using sftp.

Is there any ways to fix or get around this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Axel

Hi, Axel,

you can download any and even older software pack versions with STM32CubeMX:

  • open Help > Manage embedded software packs (alternatively press Alt-U)
  • scroll down and open STM32F7
  • scroll down and mark STM32CubeF7 Firmware Package V1.7.0 / 14-April-2017
  • click Install Now

After download, you will also find this package as a ZIP in the same location. You can then transfer this file to you target computer and install it:

  • manually: extract the content to your local repository folder
  • using STM32CubeMX: use button From local... (bottom left)

Good luck!
