STM32CubeIDE custom post-build called before hex/bin created

[troky]

I have post-build step that alters final .hex file (put some metadata inside) but script is called before .hex file s created.

Yes, i have the same problem too. This bug prevents me using the CubeIDE

This also happened in my case. So, my workaround is to run a script (batch file in my case) in post-build to generate hex from elf by myself (by using objcopy.exe provided by STM32CubeIDE) and then deal with this hex (generating checksum in my case). Please refer to my checksum.bat in the following link:

Hi Ethan,

yes i found this solution too as workaround. I hope this will be fixed in further releases

Dear ST developers,

Please fix this issue, because it is really annoying.

Thanks in advance!

Same issue here. What we really need is a post post build step I guess...
