B-G431B-ESC1: How to build software?????

[sgordon777]

All I want to do (for now) is build the ESC software and download it into the B-G431B-ESC1 board.

1. After alot of searching, I installed this: MC_SDK_6.2.0

2.  I ran MotorControl Workbench 6.2.0, loaded the "Electronics Speed control on B-G431B-ESC kit", Click "Generate the Project"

3. I get error: STM32CubeMX not found - ver. "6.0.0" or higher is required

4. I install STM32Cube 6.1, and also it's "patch" (which the instructions for applying are extremely confusing)

Well, that didn't help. I installed STM32CubeMX , tried again and I see the same thing:

LoooL. Welcome to the club. I had the same problem with WB 6.1.0.

Have you installed cubeMX / cubeIDE on another path?

[sgordon777]

Hi, Thanks.

I installed STM32CubeMX (V6.1) it where the installer reccomended:

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\STM32CubeMX

BTW, STWorkbench is here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\MC_SDK_6.2.0\Utilities\PC_Software\STMCWB

Hello sgordon777,

It seems that depending on the installation mode of CubeMX (for all Windows users or for only one), Workbench may not find the repository. We will work on a fix and you will hear from us as soon as it gets out.
However, this issue seems to be restricted to CubeMX version 6.10, so in the meantime, consider downloading CubeMX v6.9.2 if you can't change the installation method of CubeMX 6.10.

[sgordon777]

I will install the software wherever it will work(I am the only user of this compter)

Shall I install them both for All or only one?

[sgordon777]

Installing both as "all users" fixed it. I can now build and uplaod the app

No, i got cubeMX 6.8.0. Its the same issue.
