Why sample projects do not include a .ioc file ?

[yilmazkircicek]

Hi All,

Is there anyone knows why sample projects do not include a .ioc file ?

Are not these project generated with CubeMx ?

Regards.

They're not made using STM32CubeMX.

You can translate them yourself with some effort.

There are some benefits to not providing IOC files. The Cube software is constantly being updated. Despite the best intentions, sometimes bugs are introduced, sometimes IOC files may not be 100% compatible. Providing IOC files would increase the burden here.

A modestly skilled programmer should be able to get up and running provided the examples. The "Example Selector" in STM32CubeMX facilitates this even more.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Some do; some don't:

Possible way to tell which is which:

Presumably not.

Not all customers will use CubeMX anyhow - so, I guess, it's reasonable to have some examples which demonstrate the alternative.

And the ones which don't usually have a Board Support Package (BSP) to abstract the hardware details and, thus, facilitate the manual re-configuration...
