Installing STM32CubeIDE in an enterprise environment

Has anyone deployed STM32CubeIDE in an enterprise environment, particularly to lab PCs where multiple students log into? Just wonder how you manage the workspace area and the installation of the various drivers/packages.

We run Windows 10 64bit with roaming profiles with GPO and SCCM capability

Hello there!

The workspace should be created inside a user folder (or similar) which it is by default.

Regarding the drivers and packages, these are downloaded by the integrated STM32CubeMX typically they are placed in C:\Users\USER\STM32Cube\Repository

Some things to consider in respect to the repository folder:

  • For each STM32 product STM32CubeIDE will download drivers/packages (STM32CubeXY) the package .zip file is anywhere between 50MB to 1.5GB. Depends on which STM32 MCU... Is diskspace a constraint?
  • However, if the repository is shared, then "Example projects" rely on linked files. This means that if student A imports the project and makes a change then student B will also get the same change. This is only for example projects. This limitation does not exist if the student creates their own projects.
  • The repository location can be customized (Windows -> Preferences -> STM32Cube -> Firmware Updater -> Firmware installation repository)
    • I need to look into if we are able to batch modify this path.
