Cannot create a project with STM32CubeMX2

[roelofth68]

Hi,

I found the new c562 chip and for that I needed to install the latest IDE, v2.1.1

I am running Debian linux (testing) kernel 7.0.10 on an AMD cpu with nvidia, driver 595.80

When I installed IDE 1.19 it installed mx1 automagically if I am correct, now with 2.1.1 mx1 or mx2 is no longer automagically installed anymore. Trying to install mx1 from the command line throws an error that I do not have JRE 17 installed even though versions 17/21/25 are installed.

I got mx2 installed and it starts up. But when “create application project for mcu” is chosen it will show the rotating circle thing for ever. I have tried it on my laptop, work desktop and home desktop computers.

A project can be created in IDE 2.1.1 but no ioc project file. Was that file automagically created in IDE 1.19 because mx1 was already installed ?

Tried to install mx2 inside IDE 2.1.1 through Help->Install new software but I could not find anything resembling stm32cubemx2

Is there a way to get mx2 working ?

Hello ​@roelofth68 ,

Thanks for your feedback,

I assume this is due to a certificate issue, which prevented the packs from being installed.

In this case, what you need is to configure a proxy or a certificate to be able to access the servers and download packages.

• Get your certificate from your company IT or company portal.
• Place it under C:\certificate, for example.
• Add the Windows environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS with the path to this certificate file. (Make sure that the path has no quotes.)

• Finally, restart STM32CubeMX2.

You can also refer to this article for more details on: How to configure the proxy or certificate 

Please don’t hesitate to get back to me if you need any further assistance.

Regards,

Sara.

I have been trying again this morning to get mx2 to work. Finding no information on the internet that is usefull. The mx2 software is in a microslop fasion VERY scarse with information about what is going on, then I noticed the text in the lower left corner of the program window “activating stm32cube core  verifying installation….  saved” with a little rotating circle thing in front of it.

I could not find a log file. When clicking on the bell icon, lower right corner, there is a button “show in logs” but nothing is shown.

Then I downloaded an example from the “stm32 example library” just to see if it will load a .ioc2 file. It just shows a popup window in the lower right corner with “project opening is ongoing, please wait”.

Sara, there is no CA certificate other then the certificate I have to make my email server work with an encrypted connection and I am not using vscode.

Yes, CubeMX was integrated withing CubeIDE versions 1.19 and earlier.

From CubeIDE v2.0.0, CubeMX (and MX2) has been only a separate, standalone application:
