Using templates with IAR

Hi everyone,

So i have started to use STM32 MCUs.

I used before Tiva MCUs with IAR and now i'm trying it with the ST.

I realy find hard to configure a project to work with the HAL drivers. You need always do so much each time you create a project. So i wanted to use the templates and just change the main.

Problem is everytime i copy it, it just doesn't find any of the files associated like HAL drivers.

Am i doing anytigh rong?

Correct: It doesn't just find them - you have to tell it where they are!

Obviously, if you copy a project without that information, then the copy is also not going to have that information!

Look-up the documentation for includes paths, library paths, etc...

So what is the point of a template if i have to set it up every option, include, file if i copy it?

I always take like 10-20min to set up at project and most of the times it doesn't work the includes even though i included the entire Cube.

Hi afonso.luis.001,

I don't really have enough insight into what specifically you are doing, and how. Could you provide a little more information about the STM32Cube package you are using ?  

Please note that you must copy the ''Templates'' folder at the directory hierarchy level.

With regards.

I think I have the same question as Luis. I want to use Cube to configure my hardware. However, when the project is opened in IAR Workbench, I want that project to be pre-configured from a template with C-STAT and C-RUN settings, compiler and linker settings, etc. In fact, even if I don't use Cube, I still want to create a new project from a template.
