How do you have to change an ST sample program so that you can use it as your own program

JMüll.1 · ‎2020-10-05

I would like to use the Bluetooth sample program SampleApp as the basis of my own program in such a way that you can call up the ioc file afterwards, change it and save it again without losing the changes in the Bluetooth part. I am not an experienced programmer and therefore not able to create my own program in the time I have. It is therefore important for me that I can integrate my changes into the existing environment without having understood the whole thing in detail. Is there any documentation or best practice for this?

IOC files generate code with USER CODE sections in them. If you put your code within those sections, it should be preserved on code re-generation.

Some examples don't have IOC files, in which case you can just modify the source file directly.

That is true, if it is activated (default):

Project Manager > Code Generator --> Keep User Code when re-generated
