tool to check MISRA C compliance?

[jg_spitfire]

Hi, I am using cubeide and I would like to enable MISRA C checking in order to develop a more robust code, thanks

Hello @jg_spitfire​ 

Unfortunately to perform such checking on your code you could rely on third-party tools as.

Kind regards,

Semer.

check out PC Lint

Hello.

I am interested in performing MISRA C checks on projects created in CubeIDE, as other IDEs (uVision, Eclipse, etc.) do, incorporating third-party tools (PC-Lint, LDRA, etc.).

Is it possible to incorporate PC-Lint, cppcheck, etc. into CubeIDE?

Thanks

Of course, yes. CubeIDE is based on Eclipse CDT, so follow instructions for Eclipse CDT.

Hi.

I tried to install LDRA_eclipse_plugin. The instructions say:

"Move the two files: “com.ldra.toolsuite.activeproject_X.X.X.jar" "com.ldra.toolsuite_X.X.X.jar" into the “dropins” folder which can be found within your eclipse installation directory. The next time Eclipse is restarted the plug-in will be activated and ready to use".

But there is no dropins folder in STM32CubeIDE. I created the dropins folder in the following path, and left both files in the folder, but it doesn't work: C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.14.1\STM32CubeIDE\dropins

I also tried the help/installnew software option, without any result.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Hello.

The path "C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.14.1\dropins" does not work.
The path "C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.14.1\STM32CubeIDE\dropins" does not work.
The path "C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.14.1\STM32CubeIDE\dropins\eclipse\features\plugins" does not work.

On the other hand, I have performed a test with another IDE, Codewarrior, based on Eclipse. In this case there is an empty eclipse/dropins folder, and when dropping the two files, the plugin works:
C:\Freescale\CW MCU v11.0\eclipse\dropins

The plugin is fine, and the problem is the IDE.

In the STM32CubeIDE installation there is no folder called eclipse/plugin. Could this be the problem, and is there any additional configuration needed in STM32CubeIDE?

Thanks
