ST Motor Control Workbench Stuck at project generation

[krbmr]

Hi there!

I am trying to spin a motor with a STM32F3 MCU and the Motor Control SDK.

I am able to use the Motor Profiler to generate a profile of my PMSM and spin the motor via the computer. Importing the motor profile into the ST Motor Control Workbench also works fine.

When I try to generate the project files in the ST Motor Control Workbench, no files are generated and the window seems to be stuck forever without any log output in the project file generation window or in the main window.

My Setup:

HW:

- NUCLEO-F302R8 Logic Board

- X-NUCLEO-IHM07M1 Power Stage

- MAXON ECi PMSM Motor

SW:

- STM32CubeIDE 1.4.0

- STM32CubeMX 6.4.0

- Motor Profiler 5.Y.3

- Motor Control Workbench 5.Y.3

- "Firmware Package Version" was installed via CubeMX, is found by Motor Control Workbench and is available in: STM32FW V1.11.2 and STM32FW V1.11.3

Computer HW/SW:

- Tried on two machines with WIN10, both show the same result.

My Steps so far:

- Assemble HW (stack the two boards, attach Motor (maxon ECi))

- Connect Nucleo Board to PC

- Connect to Board via motor profiler

- Update FW on Nucleo Board via motor profiler (probably had some other stuff on it...)

- Run Profiling and save

- New Project in ST Motor Control Workbench with motor profile

- Check Pinout - ok

- Generate Code via dialog. Tried all Versions of the Firmware Package Version and both HAL and LL options.

- The Window "Project Generation" then stays open forever and does not show any log output or files.

Any Ideas how we can get this to run? Any Input is highly appreciated!

Thanks and stay safe!

Hi!

Anyone got any Idea about this?

Maybe @ST, you can help out with this? We would really love to use this solution in out products.

Any Information that I can help you with to ease debugging?

Thanks,

Jakob

I had this same problem with a different hardware combination.

I don't know exactly what the problem is but I downgraded to STM32CubeMX 6.3.0 the generation doesn't hang.

[Ronny Landsverk]

Same problem.

Even the example projects won't generate

[THöfl.1]

Same Problem since update to Cube MX 6.4.0.

I also have different Hardware.

There is no major fault in the logfiles:

[DQi.1]

try use Stm32CubeMX V5.x

[MDega.2]

Same problem here,

removing CubeMX 6.4 and replacing it with 6.3 solved the issue.

[SpinKernel]

Same here, 6.3 works. Thanks all!

I had similar problem with Motor Control Workbench 5.4.8.

The Window "Project Generation"  will report the following error message: 

"The ST intranet updater server is unknown: mcucrossselector.codex.cro.st.com"

Downgrading STM32CubeMX to 6.3.0 can solve the problem.
