Hi all, is there a way to dump a make file from STM32CubeMX?

I found this link but I can't figure out how to do it:

I'm running on Windows but I'd like to create a make file to run Linux.

thank you.

1. CubeMX is also available on Linux. Have you tried it?
2. There is a Makefile option in Project / Settings... dialog's Toolchain / IDE drop-down menu. The generated Makefile should be identical on all platforms. Have you tried the compilation?

I don't see a

Project / Settings... dialog's Toolchain / IDE drop-down menu.

All I see is Project...new uVision, etc I guess I'm probably running the wrong IDE.

I have downloaded en.ste32cubemx.zip and I can run the examples in KEIL/uVision.

Is there something else I have to do?

thank you!

That is in uVision IDE.

CubeMX is a standalone project generator software.

Check it here:

I have now downloaded something called STM32CubeMX, looks like an IDE. But I also have a zip file called STM32Cube_FW_L4. I also have an IDE called ARM uVision.

In STM32Cube_FW_L4, there are folders for EWARM, MDK_ARM, SW4STM32, and TrueSTUDIO. If I go into MDK_ARM and double-click on a project it will open the project in ARM uVision.

How do I bring an project into CubeMX?

thank you.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply. I have CubeMX instlalled. Can you tell me how to bring a project in so I can output a make file?

thank you.

Have you read the manual?

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/user_manual/10/c5/1a/43/3a/70/43/7d/DM001047pdf/files/DM001047pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM001047pdf

CubeMX is not an IDE, it is a project configuartor and generator. This is just the software.

You have to download packages for the specfic MCU family.

You couldn't. CubeMX is for project configuration and creation.

Please describe precisely what do you want to achieve.

Or should we guessing? Maybe you want to generate a Makefile from a uVision project? This is not a tool for that.

Oh, I see. It looks like this is more for creating a project from scratch. Isn't it easier to start with example code?

Anyway, it looks like I asked the wrong question (typical). I think I need to go to the ARM forum and ask:

'Is there a way to generate a make file from ARM  MDK'?

I'm trying to generate a make file for one of the example projects.

thank you.
