How to check the project's chosen board

MichalPorazko · ‎2025-04-05

If I have forgot what type of board I have chosen for a given project, where can check it in the Cube IDE?

Just open the .ioc file of your project and select the pinout view and you will have a picture of the MCU that is used for this project:

You can also have a look at the name of the .id files of your project:

Ps: it will tell you the MCU and not the board but generally, each MCU is used on only one board.
I think also the recommandation of opening the .ioc file in text editor and look for the name of the board directly is the best as said @Pavel A. if the project is based on a .ioc file. If not, the name of the .id files are the best way.

But that doesn't directly tell you what board.

@MichalPorazko But there aren't generally that many ST boards for the same processor - so it should be fairly easy to figure out...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Open the ioc file in text editor and look for lines lke:

board=STM32C0316-DK
boardIOC=true
