How run STM32CubeL4 examples with STM32CubeIDE 1.4.0?

Geraldo Pereira · ‎2020-08-19

Hi,

I´d like run the examples of STM32CubeL4 in STMCubeIDE.

In the tutorial "UM1860 User manual", page 17 I read that there´s a directory named "\STM32CubeIDE" with the configuation project to use with STM32CubeIDE. But in the zip file I could not find that directory. So how can I run the examples in STMCubeIDE?

Or What is the simplest way to do that? I´ve just downloaded and tested with MDK-ARM, but I´d like use STMCubeIDE.

Thanks,

Geraldo.

The repositories are located at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\STM32Cube\Repository

You should be able to drill down the L4 repository to find a project and import it with STM32CubeIDE.

Thanks TDK,

I´ve located the Repository and downloaded 2 differentes versions of L4 package, 1.5 and 1.6. Folders: STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.15.0 and STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.16.0.

But there´s no folder named \STM32CubeIDE in the directory "C:\Users\geral\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.15.0\Projects\NUCLEO-L476RG\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle" as I read in the document "UM1860 User manual", page 17. So I think the document must be update, because a lot of beginners´ll be problem like me. See the attached image in this post.

So I´ve just opened the CubeIDE and tried import the folder "C:\Users\geral\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.15.0\Projects\NUCLEO-L476RG\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle". I located the project configuration to a project in the folder: C:\Users\geral\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.15.0\Projects\NUCLEO-L476RG\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle\SW4STM32\STM32L476RG_NUCLEO

I´ve just imported it. But now, when a Try compile the project I got the following error messages:

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'STM32L476RG_NUCLEO'.

java.lang.NullPointerException

I´ve read some threads, but I could not get a solution. So, I´m using the MDK-ARM versions of the projects. But I´d like use the CubeIDE because the graphical tools.

Any hint?

Thanks,

Geraldo.
