Will there be any toolchain updates?

[DmRozhd]

Hi All,

today I have installed new STM32CubeIDE 1.8.0. Despite the current toolchain 9-2020-q2 is very old the new IDE does not update it. Will there be any GNU Tools for STM32 updates, or I should now use GNU Tools for ARM?

Regards,

Dmitry

Is there something specific you're missing from later versions?

Hi Andrew,

at least full C++20 support.

This thread suggests that C++ 20 is supported:

IDE v1.8.0 release:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00001EDf2rSAD/stm32cubeide-180-released

mentions "GCC 10 available on Eclipse® p2 update site"

May I please have a link to step-by-step instructions how to reach "Eclipse p2 update site" and update the STM32 toolchain from it?

perhaps @mattias norlander​ (author of the release post) can help you there ...

or, maybe, @Stepan Martinek​ (author of the other post)

?

HI,

I just did the full install because it is recommended by release notes. Then you need to install the 10.3 toolchain manually from within the IDE.

PS: Be aware that GCC 10.3 does not have full C++20 support. There are still some things missing (modules for example) and fully supported in GCC 11. But I would say 90% of C++20 is there.

Hi Stephan,

Thanks, but I have understood this already. My question is how should I do it? There is no new toolchain in the Toolchain Manager.

That's strange. I did no extra steps. The toolchain was right there.
