Hello,

I cloned the repository https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF3.git
but importing the project ...STM32F3-DiscoveryExamplesBSP
some code is missing in particular the code to manage the BSP device on the STM32F3DISCOVERY BOARD.
What I am missing?

Thanks in advance

Adriano

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

I have downloaded the .zip packages
stm32cubef3.zip
stm32cubef3-v1-11-6.zip
and unpacked them (the second over the first)

Please suggest the steps needed to import the example ...STM32Cube_FW_F3_V1.11.0ProjectsSTM32F3-DiscoveryExamplesBSP
in STM32CUbeIDE,
I would like to build and run it (I have the STM32F3DISCOvery board)
to understand how to use from another MCU the sensors onboard.

Hi Adriano,

it is sure to miss some files if you clone it or download zip directly from the github, please use command 'git clone --recursive https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF3.git' to clone it, you will get the complete project which can work well.

Done, thanks.
Maybe the role of the checkboxes in figure 3 should be emphasized, explaining their purpose:
- Search for nested project
- Detect and configure project natures - this one, if  unchecked, prevents the correct importing of the ac6 project (the import remains incomplete)

Hello,

I suppose you cloned the github link without the recursive option.
