I have a problem with generating a code

[Conuk]

Hi, so i am trying to get the firmware package (stm32_fw_L1_v180).

First, stmcubemx would not let me generate a code because i do not have the above stated firmware package. So, I tried installing the software through stm32CubeMX but it showed an error that said "HTTP access denied" and "dependencies not loaded". 

Then, i found the file on st website and downloaded it, i tried to use "from local" to add the file, but it said that there are no dependencies for the file. I dont know what else to do. Is it possible to generate a code without the firmware package.

I know this might be a very basic question but i am new to stm32 and this is my first project, so any help is appreciated.

Thank you

>>HTTP access denied

Are you behind a proxy/firewall? Many corporate systems live behind a proxy, make sure to configure that in CubeMX so it can pull files from the web server. Check the proxy settings in your browser, copy those over as appropriate.

Generally compilers don't care, you can build stuff with no dependencies if that's how you create your code/project. You could tell it you have a Generic Cortex-M3 and proceed from there. This however involves you get more into the details of the part, and coding all the routines which would otherwise come from a support library.

You might want to review some tutorial/training videos from the web, I can imagine the process is a bit daunting otherwise. But the IDE and STM32 are not markedly different from any other embedded development tools or micro-controller.
