STM32N6 not recognized by STM32CubeIDE

[JamesZer]

Hello @Julian E.,

I have the same questions as @Anhem (Solved: How to use custom AI model for Stm32n6570? - STMicroelectronics Community) and a additional question regarding the compatibility of X-CUBE-AI version 10.0.0 in STM32CubeMX with the Cortex-M55 processor in the STM32N6. This version explicitly mentions support for Cortex-M7, M4, M0, and M33 cores but does not reference the Cortex-M55. Could this be an issue for development on the STM32N6 ?

I have reached the build and flashing stage of my project, but STM32CubeIDE does not recognize my STM32N6 project.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello @JamesZer ,

About the cortex supported, I believe you are talking about one of our document? Can you share which one as we may have forgotten to update it.

In anycase, X Cube AI indeed support the N6, both with and without using the NPU.

To use it, you need to make sure to install the NPU addon:

STEdgeAI-Core - Artificial intelligence (AI) optimizer technology for STMicroelectronics products - STMicroelectronics

For context, X Cube AI is a GUI in CubeMX that uses the ST Edge AI Core in background. When you install X Cube AI, you install the GUI part of CubeMX and the ST Edge AI Core to convert model, do validation etc.

Based on its name, the NPU addon should only be related to the NPU part of the N6, not the Cortex M55, but I don't know about that. In any case, install it if you don't have done it already.

In my case, I use STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMX separetly, but I know that you can use the CubeMX in CubeIDE. Did you install the STM32 N6 FW package?

(here it is cubeMX, but I believe you can have something similar in CubeIDE)

have a good day,

Julian

Yes, I found the information in CubeMX when installing the X-CUBE-AI version. Here is a screenshot attached.

When I was using Edge AI separately with the Zoo Model, I successfully linked the NPU Addon, but now that I’m using CubeMX, I can’t find where or how to install this NPU Addon.

Regarding the STM32N6 packages, everything is properly installed on my side.

Thanks in advance for your help!
