Running STM32Cube IDE Debug on VMWare linux

[JRobe.2459]

Hi,

I was curious if the community has had success and/or lack of it when running STM32 Cube IDE and reading the serial from Linux as a VMWare client, from a Windows host? Any issues bridging the USB connection through the Windows host, to the board?

My principal motivation for wanting to run from Linux is so I can do a recursive diff between projects; to see what different STM32Cube MX Code Generation runs produce.

thanks!

Hi,

haven't used your setup, but I'm sometimes using STMCubeIDE in a virtual box Win10 guest and Ubunut host, works.

But, thats definitely overkill for having a recursive diff. Suggestions:

• git. https://git-scm.com/ You need only few commands to keep the complete history of your project. Without remote servers if you like.
• git-bash. Git for Windows comes with a git bash. A number of commands is available, diff is one of them. See also Cygwin
• WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux)
• https://winmerge.org/

Cygwin is not a bad idea. I just installed that, and diff -r works. That will be cool to see the impact of CubeMX on the directory trees. (it probably would have saved me about 3 days debugging why I had an IRQ not fire)

Really I just prefer Linux over Windows, and my rig at home is a Windows box. But diff is my only hard requirement right now, and Cygwin appears to do the job. cheers!
