Hi, I have downloaded stm32cubef4 for the nucleo-64 board (stm32f401). The directory seems to have the correct structure. No icon has appeared on the desktop or in the launch menu (win10) to start the program. Anyone know how to get it started? Thanks

Hello,

Delete the package and try again the correct download of the firmware package

from STMicroelectronics official site:

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-embedded-software/stm32cubef4.html

.

Or download the package directly from STM32CubeMx:

MENU > Help > Install New Libraries
Select libraries that you need
Force download with button â€œInstall Nowâ€�.

Best Regards

Imen

You downloaded the ZIP file with your browser?

Have you installed CubeMX?

Hi, I have re downloaded the package and extracted the files succesfully (I think). Now what do I do to install it?

I downloaded from the st site. I downloaded the AC6 toolchain and installed it.

It is an archive of files, what you need to do is down load and install the CUBEMX package, and use it to install the .ZIP

http://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html

Now if you just want to build things from AC6, you're going to need to navigate the package you unpacked, and open the PROJECTS within in it from your tool chain. The archive contains the HAL libraries, and an array of examples for assorted boards and peripherals.
