No examples for Nucleo-H743ZI2 in STM32CubeIDE but Nucleo-H743ZI examples marked as obsolete?

[bczwartk]

Hello,

I have the new Nucleo-H743ZI2 board (note the "2" at the end of the board identifier).  I was trying to import some example project for the board using STM32CubeIDE example selector.  However I am stuck.  Completely. 

• The only examples available are for the earlier board edition (Nucleo-H743ZI). When I try to import such projects, the IDE refuses claiming that the board is obsolete. 
• When I specify the new Nucleo-H743ZI2 board in the examples Board Selector, there are literally *zero* examples for it. 
• No other option exist ...

Questions:

1. Why aren't the Nucleo-H743ZI examples updated to also be available for Nucleo-H743ZI2? 
2. Where can I import example projects for the new version of the board?  

Note, that I am using the latest STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.13.2, and I installed the latest STM32Cube MCU Package for STM32H7 series (1.11.0 with 1.11.1 patch).

Any help would be appreciated.

The boards are nearly identical. Most examples should run without modification. Those that don't will require very minimal changes.

Hi @TDK , many thanks for the answer. 

Yes, I saw this thread.  And I would be happy to try, even with applying some modifications.  However, I still do not know how to import the examples.  IDE will not let me because Nucleo-H743ZI is obsolete.  Can I extract these example projects somehow from some package and import directly into Cube IDE via Eclipse's import?

Thank you.

Ah, sorry!  I think I found them in en.stm32cubeh7_v1-11-0.zip package.  I will try importing directly into the IDE using regular project import.  Many thanks!

Oh, didn't realize it was preventing you from importing the project entirely. That is a little obnoxious.

As you saw, you can find them in the repository itself and import, which is by default at C:\Users\USERNAME\STM32Cube\Repository on windows.

Some of the CubeH7 examples had a define to build for one board vs the other. The ZI2 moved a couple of pins around related to LEDs, QSPI and ETHERNET as I recall

You can import the examples of the Nucleo-H743ZI. This message 

is just to inform you that the Nucleo-H743ZI is obsolete. You just have to click ok and keep going on generating your project.

Best Regards.

Many thanks for all the answers.  I somehow got stuck in the IDE.  Even if I closed the message, I could not proceed with importing examples.  Still, the other approach I wrote about earlier worked.  I simply used File menu> Import...> General> Existing Projects into Workspace, and pointed to example project of interest located under:

C:\Users\USERNAME\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_H7_V1.11.1\Projects\NUCLEO-H743ZI\Examples\

That did the trick.  I should have thought about this solution earlier :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
