stspin32g4 and cube ide

frankers · ‎2025-02-27

hello st community!

I installed today

STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.17.0 Build: 23558_20241125_2245 (UTC). I want develop the firmware for a motor controller with the stspin32g4 mcu. i cant select this mcu in the target selector for the new project.

why did the people at st.com not have this mcu in the target selector?

what is a work around? i already run a serach for updates but it came back with no new updates.

should I select a G431 mcu? but I think the pin config will be different then. i have 5 mcu stspin32g4 here.

and the datasheet look like they are perfect for a small esc because the stspin32g4 with 170MHz has enough power to run FOC. and the BOM and pcb is small.

thank you if you can help me

Frank

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
