How to import example from GitHub?

[MHoop.1]

I am trying to import an example project into my CubeIDE workspace that I have downloaded from GitHub and need some clarification on the process.

I have downloaded (for example) x-cube-azrtos-h7-main from GitHub. I have unzipped the main file into my local repository folder. I then select File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace which brings up the Import Projects window. I then select the "\Projects\NUCLEO-H723ZG\Applications\NetXDuo\Nx_TCP_Echo_Server" project and the click on "Finish". After the project is imported, there are yellow exclamation indicators on all of the .c files listed in the project file structure. The clicking on any of the files shows that there is no actual file in the folder.

 

I have also tried File->Import->Projects from Folder or Archive (which I am not sure how this is different). This doesn't actually copy files into my workspace. It only creates a link to the original file location in my repository, which I don't want.

How do I import a copy of an existing project from my repository into my workspace?

Thx,

MikeH

Hello, 

I don't know if this is useful, but for me the problem came from git. Doing the following procedure in a terminal solved my compiliation problem:

 

1) $ cd /yourDirectory

2) $ git clone https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeL4.git

3) $ git pull origin master

4) $ git submodule update --init

Then in STM32CubeIDE I could import the project without any problem using "file->import->Existing Projects into Workspace".

 

Best,
