It looks like you're opening an .IOC file within STM32CubeIDE, so the choice is locked to STM32CubeIDE.

Open the IOC in standalone STM32CubeMX.

Side note: That has to be the worst font for readability I've seen in quite a while. Are you on Linux?

Download and install STM32CubeMX from here:

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html

Run it.

Open your IOC file.

Probably save-as to another folder location.

Change Toolchain/IDE as desired.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

The file is not open at all in another folder location.

it is opening only from the original project folder.

I am getting the error i attached.

Is there any other way to unlock the "toolchain/ide" category?

thanks a lot

​Hello @YBuch.1​ 

When you create an STM32 project from the CubeIDE you can only use STM32CubeIDE as Toolchain/IDE (you will notice that only CubeIDE exists and that it is greyed out).

Otherwise, if you create a new .ioc from STM32CubeMX you can choose the IDE that suits your needs.

Hi @YBuch.1​ 

Download and install STM32CubeMX from here:

https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-configurators-and-code-generators/stm32cubemx.html

Create an .ioc from STM32CubeMX then, you can choose the IDE that suits your needs.

Best regards,

Nesrine

Hello,

It also seems that some board are not compatible with all toolchain.

For example, if you create a new project with the NUCLEO H745 board, some toolchains are greyed out.

Any idea when other toolchains will be available for those boards?

Thanks
