STM32CubeMx 4.20.1: Clock Configuration GUI not working

[Katzenberger.Michael]

Hi all!

The Clock Configuration GUI shows a weird behavior: I'm not able to put a valid input frequency for HSE (or LSE).

For example I want to setup the input frequency to 8 MHz:

• entered value 8 is not accepted - changed to 0.0000000000080 immediately
• entered value 8000000 is accepted and changed to value 8 but as soon as the focus is changed to an other element the value jumps to 0.0000080

Development environment:

• Eclipse Neon 3
• STM32CubeMx version: 4.20.1 (Eclipse plugin)
• Java: jdk1.8.0_25
• ioc config file attached

Best regards,

Michael.

Hi

Katzenberger.Michael

‌,

I'm not able to reproduce your issue.

Could you please create a new project using CubeMX V4.1 and check if the issue persist.

Khouloud.

Hi Khouloud,

I've reinstalled version V4.20.1 and can confirm that the problem still exists

create new project

enable High Speed Clock

Default clock setting shown good as expected

but as soon I change the default value the GUI shows wrong values

clock values entered in Hz (e.g. 10000000) are temporarily accepted as 10 MHz but as soon as I change the focus (activate another element) the entered value becomes invalid.

Same for my Nucleo STM32F411RE ...

Hello katzenberger.michael,

I would like to thank you for your feedback, and indeed, such behaviour has been observed using eclipse plugin.This does not happen using CubeMX in standalone mode.We are looking why cube comportment is different when launching from Eclipse.

Hello, I have exactly same experiences. In actual version of Eclipse plug-in (4.22.0) still nothing has changed to better. Please, will it ever be resolved ?

Thanks and have a nice day,

Peter

Hello

kovar.petr

,

We are currently redesigning CubeMX integration into Eclipse. As this is a significant amount of work, it is quite difficult to give an availability date right now.

Kind regards

Sirma

In version 4.24.0 this issue is still not solved. Is there not date yet defined to be resolved?

Hello, had the same issue but found a workaround:

the gui erroneously validates the frequency input dividing it by 100000 and rewriting the divided value to the textbox: this is the bug.

So,

you don't have to press enter

once the crystal frequency is entered (in Hz) into the textbox, but

simply move the focus to another component on the page (a prescaler combo, a radio button, whatever else).

Regards.
