Does STM32CubeIDE offer a serial terminal? This functionality was available in the Atollic TrueSTUDIO product.

I'm really loving the high level of integration offered in the STM32CubeIDE application.

Does STM32CubeIDE offer a serial terminal? This functionality was available in the Atollic TrueSTUDIO product.

Maybe it's already in there (somewhere?) and I just can't find it...?

I'm using this software to teach a class on the STM32 devices. Having one less external program to install and verify in the lab (i.e., Tera Term) and associated drivers (i.e., CH340G) would makes things a LOT simpler.

Thanks for any insight you can share on this topic.

Hello Dale,

It's not implemented but you shouldn't need external programs either as you can download and install something like this that's found inside the Eclipse marketplace:

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/tm-terminal

And my colleague who gave me a tip about this also linked to this great tutorial:

Markus,

Thank you for the prompt and detailed answer to my question.

I hope to integrate the information you have provided into a subsequent "Advanced Peripherals" class for the STM32.

I tried this and it just broke my STM32CubeIDE.

I think the culprit may be this->"Unresolved requirement: Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.team.core; bundle-version="[3.6.0,4.0.0)"

I am really not interested to spend hours and hours to debug this, just to get the terminal working like it should. I have code to write. I attached the log, if any kind person or mayde ST (not getting my hopes up) could fix this in the future. Posted just to let others know, so they don't have to waste their time trying this and ending eihgter re-installing or spending hours finding the solution.

Hello,

I found this topic because I also wanted to have terminal window inside the IDE.

For me it works as it should. Here is my way of installing this feature:

1. Go to menu Help -> Install New Software
2. Select Work with -> All available sites
3. In the search box type "terminal"
4. When search is finished select "TM Terminal" and "TM Terminal Serial Extensions" and install them.
5. 
6. Restart CubeIDE
7. From menu Window -> Show View -> Other select "Terminal"
8. 
9. Terminal window should appear in IDE.
10. Click Open Terminal icon (or Shift+Alt+Ctrl+T) and set up your connection parameters.
11. This is the result in my case:
12.

Hi,

I installed Tm Terminal throw the help menu/Eclipse Marketplace. I didn't have any error on the installation but when I choose Serial Terminal, no port appear the the settings. I've tied with Tera Term and it had no problem detecting the nucleo board.

Any clue?

Hi Bruno,

Did you install also "TM Terminal Serial Extensions"?

Thanks. I will give this a go when I find time.

I was able to follow the instructions for installing "TM Terminal" and "TM Terminal Serial Extensions". It's working as expected on STM32CubeIDE 1.5.0.
The original reason I had hoped to use the formerly-available serial terminal (in the Atollic TrueSTUDIO days) was that I was teaching a class on STM32 and wanted to avoid yet another tedious step in getting the tools up and running.
I appreciate the help and support given to my question.
Thank you,
