Beginner's Tutorial STMcubeIDE 2.0

[johncvan]

None of the beginner's tutorials work anymore because of the removal of STM32cubeMX from the IDE. Please send me a link to one that will work. I have seen some work arounds to solve this but for a beginner they are too complicated.

It's always been possible to use CubeMX as a standalone tool - so that shouldn't have changed?

Right, so my recommendation: use IDE 1.19. for now , until tutorials matching for 2.0 .

[johncvan]

Thanks. I will install it.

Hello @johncvan 

I think this tutorial should be a good point to start with the STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0.

Best Regards.

The wiki on CubeIDE should be updated for v. 2.x - the first page prominently shows the "configuration tool" view in the IDE, that does not exist any longer. https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Category:STM32CubeIDE

Hello @Pavel A. ,

I raised that request internally to STM32CubeIDE team - Internal ticket number 223925.

Thank you for your contributions.

Thank you.
"An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application
that helps programmers develop software code efficiently. It increases
developer productivity by combining capabilities such as software editing,
building, testing, and packaging in an easy-to-use application."
It seems a step backward to remove a tool from the IDE. It is my opinion
that one should never have to use the words "tool chain" or "path".All
tools within the IDE should know where they put what they created and what
they created should know where the tool is that created them.

If you want to join the discussion on separating CubeMX from the IDE, go to this thread: 

IDE Version 2.0.0 - why remove MX ?

In particular, this post describes the rationale behind it.

@Imen.D By the same occasion, can they add a page about VSCode and CMake tools to this place in the wiki?
