STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 released

[Aimen1]

We are pleased to announce that STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 release is available.

STM32CubeIDE is now independent from STM32CubeMX.

With this release, device configuration, previously handled within STM32CubeIDE via STM32CubeMX, is now exclusively available through the stand-alone STM32CubeMX tool.

Users will configure microcontroller peripherals and generate initialization code separately in STM32CubeMX, then import the generated projects into STM32CubeIDE for coding and debugging.  

STM32CubeIDE, is now a stand-alone tool, offers the possibility to create empty project through its own MCU/Board selectors now present inside.

What does this change mean for developers? 

• Separate download and installation: STM32CubeMX is no more integrated in STM32CubeIDE, requiring separate download alongside STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 for configuration and code generation. 

• Tool update flexibility: Developers can update and freeze STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE independently, with multiple versions of each installed side-by-side. 
• Memory footprint and performance: Removing STM32CubeMX integration reduces installation size (~3.7GB to 2.9GB) and lowers CPU/RAM usage, improving stability especially on Linux and Mac.
