Import and Export

Teichman317 · ‎2025-07-09

I am fairly new to programming. So I have STM32CUBEide at work and at home. If find it extrodnarilly difficult to work on something at the office and then take it home or in reverse. I have tried exporting, importing, importing from the file system and just copying files directly. Each time only after several hours I stumble upon getting the project working and I have to do it all over aging when I go back to the office. And really irritating is that it looks like its going to work, when your importing an archive and just as you go to select the location. The darn window is gray out. And when the IDE finally does work it is not obvious why. Despirite for help!!!

What version STM32CubeIDE? Lately, it seems that version prior to 1.19.0 is not working correctly.

The easiest way to transfer project between work and home is to use a repository like Github.

You've said everything other than importing Existing Projects into Workspace. That is all you need to do.

I was told that if a devices starts to smoke, put the smoke back in. I guess I never got all the smoke because the device never worked afterwards.
Don't worry, I won't byte.

This is because organizing and maintaining a development environment is another skill, not taught with C language or EE. Get to know version control, GIt or whatever you prefer. Check in your changes at work and pull them at home, and v.v.

You beat me to it.
I use a github account for this purposes.

Although I'm not sure about legal consequences, the OP's employer might have objections, even if the repo is not public.

OTOH, other Eclipse-based IDEs (like MCUXpresso) have options to import/export projects as Zip archives.
In general, most of this import/export capabilities come from the Eclipse base, not the vendor "superstructure".
You might try some Eclipse tutorials in this regard.
I don't use CubeIDE, for this reason amongst others - just another vendor-specific single-purpose IDE consuming >1GB.
