How to move (copy/paste) a STM32CubeIDE project to another PC?

[WQ]

with different paths and versions of STM32CubeIDE and Embedded Firmware Packages?

In other words, if we want to share a STM32CubeIDE among our colleagues, what is the way to migrate/duplicate/re-create a STM32CubeIDE project?

We are new to ST's MCU and STM32CubeIDE. We just found it is difficult in STM32CubeIDE.

Thanks for help in advance.

Just copy the whole directory containing the project (the top directory should contain the .cproject file), then open STM32CubeIDE, making a new workspace if necessary, then select File, "Open project from file system", browse to the directory with the project and press OK.

Hi, JMala.3, it didnt work. Here is what I got:

15:29:41 **** Clean-only build of configuration Debug for project projectxxxx_v3 ****

make -j8 clean 

rm -rf default.size.stdout sensorwafer_v3.elf projectxxxx_v3.list projectxxxx_v3.map

15:29:42 Build Finished. 0 errors, 0 warnings. (took 232ms)

15:29:42 **** Build of configuration Debug for project projectxxxx_v3 ****

make -j8 all 

make: *** No rule to make target 'C:/Users/Person12345/STM32Cube/Repository/STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.13.3/Utilities/lpm/tiny_lpm/stm32_lpm.c', needed by 'Utilities/stm32_lpm.o'. Stop.

"make -j8 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

15:29:42 Build Failed. 1 errors, 0 warnings. (took 409ms)

The projectxxxx_v3 was zipped and sent by Person12345. I am the Person67890 and have different version of STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.14.1 : 'C:/Users/Person67890/STM32Cube/Repository/STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.14.1/Utilities/lpm/tiny_lpm/stm32_lpm.c'

I tried to manually change the path settings in project property. But it seems there are still other places I don't know.

I can install the version in the copied project. But I cant definitely have the same absolute paths of the original.

Hello @Community member​ 

Are you using a version control system or just export and import?

Regardless you have to clean the project from absolute paths :

• MCU GCC Compiler - includes path
• MCU GCC linker - Linker script field
• MCU GCC linker - using a static libraries? make sure that it use relative paths
• Debug configurations - Try to recreate the debug configuration since the .launch file may contain some absolute paths

Kind regards,

Semer.

No, we don't use any version control.

I just found there are many places to do manual editing.

 

 

 

This is our first project with STM32 MCU (with our custom designed STM32WB5MMG PCB). It is quite surprised to know STM32CubeIDE is for single handed development.

That weilrd, How was the project start ed originally. We do use Source control and we have 3 or 4 people using the same source files .. Here are the compiler settings in our code.

The one "single handed" thing in CubeIDE or CubeMX is that the "repository" by default is installed into per-user location.

You can move the "repository" root directory to a global location.

For example /usr/src/STM32Cube works both on Linux and Windows (well with a quirk. On Windows it actually is C:\usr\src\ but Eclipse correctly substitutes the paths).

Then generate Cube projects, and the shared libraries will be in the portable location.,

Hello

What is the progress? Have you managed to fix the relative paths?
