Question

STM32CubeMX freezes when generating code

Hi,

STMCubeMX is freezing every time I try to generate code for an STM32F429 project.  This is my first time using it, but everything so far has been pretty straightforward, and I haven't given it any crazy parameters that would seem unreasonable.

The exact steps to reproduce the problem are: Load the IOC file (pasted below).  Click Project -> Generate Code.  It will display a progress bar, and will basically stay there forever (hours, etc).  I've tried it several times, and it does the same thing every time.

I will try re-generating the project and trying that, but figured I'd post this here to see if anyone else has had the problem, and to see if anyone here could re-create the problem.  

Here's my 'STMF429ZETx.ioc' file:

And an image of the app, in its frozen state:

Oh, my OS platform is Windows 8 on a pretty standard Lenovo laptop.  My Java JRE version is 8.0.51.16.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hi jansen.neil,

    Which version of CubeMx are using? The last one is 4.9.0.

    Could you change your machine?

    Hi,

    STM32CubeMX version is 4.9.0.

    I made a new project and tried to duplicate the settings section by section, and it actually worked (didn't freeze), although I'm not sure why.  If I do a diff on the two *.ioc's they differ, but I can't figure out why one would work but the other one would make it crash.  Either way, I guess it's working now.

    I'm still having a problem getting the project imported into either Rowley CrossWorks or ac6 SystemsWorkbench.  I've not been able to get either of them to compile.  Will spend a few more hours on it to make sure it's not anything stupid that I'm doing.. then I might be back for more help.  This whole process has been extremely daunting but will hopefully worth it in the end.

    Now when I open up my new file, it still freezes up.  

    This is extremely frustrating and causing me to lose a lot of time.  STM32CubeMX should not just lock up like this.  It's clearly a bug or some unhanded corner case, but unfortunately there's not much else that I can do at this point.

    Can someone possibly reproduce this behavior on their machine?  Is there any more information that I can provide to help track this down?  Are there older versions that may be more stable?  Is there anything else that I might be doing wrong?

    Hi jansen.neil,

    Your .ioc file is needed in order to try to reproduce your issue. Could you please share it?

    Hi,

    You will find a link to the .ioc file in my first post.

    Hi jansen.neil,

    I generated a project with your .ioc file  on SW4STM, I compiled it and I did not have any compilation error.

    Try to re-instal SW4STM and make right steps to setting the path of your project.

    Sorry to not be able to help you more.
