How can I install X-CUBE-SPN2 in the STM32CubeIDE? I expect that the X-CUBE-SPN2 download can be installed in the IDE that it appears in the .ioc-tab under 'Middleware and Software packs'. Or how should X-CUBE-SPN2 be integrated in a project?

Welcome, @MBaum.2gartner​, to the community!

Essentially, this is the same problem that has been discussed here before.

Does it answer your question?

Regards

Hello Peter

This is exactly the same problem as I have. There you told 'Newer CUBE packages from ST are then gradually made installable in CubeMX/IDE'. I expect that the SPN2 package is not too old and therefore it should be installable. Or is this wrong?

If it is not installable, what is the workaround? Can the files be copied 1:1 into my project?

Thanks for your help, Michael

    > the SPN2 package is not too old and therefore it should be installable. Or is this wrong?

    The package X-CUBE-SPN2, version 1.1.1, dates from 2015, which is ...uhm... quite old.

    > If it is not installable, what is the workaround? Can the files be copied 1:1 into my project?

    The procedure for integration was also discussed in the thread mentioned above, UM2312, UM2385 and UM2388 are still valid.

    Before we moved to making newer packages integrable in CubeMX or CubeIDE, we also put sample projects there. However, these projects use relative paths to the drivers and possibly BSP that are also stored in the package. 

    Since the current drivers for the respective STM32 are integrated by CubeMX or the CubeMX included in CubeIDE, you do not necessarily need them from the X-CUBE package. Very likely, however, the BSP (Board Support Package) should be imported into your own project.

    Hi Khalsi

    I thought that MX Cube is now integrated into Cube IDE, and therefore an obsolete tool - or is this wrong? What is the sense that some packages work for Cube MX, but not for Cube IDE?

    Best regards, Michael

      Yes, CubeMX is now also integrated into CubeIDE, but CubeMX will continue as a stand-alone tool, partly because the CubeIDE is a complete GUI including GNU GCC compiler, which developers working with ARM Keil or IAR do not need.
