STM32CubeIDE v1.19 to v2.0 BLE (STM32_WPAN) Project Migration Issues

WP · ‎2026-01-06

I have a working project in STM32CubeIDE v1.19 for my STM32WB55RG board. Pretty simple as it reads some sensor data, does an FFT and sends a couple results over Bluetooth. It is working well and I'm happy with the performance. I am on macos Tahoe and the highlighting of text in the editor is not working so I thought I'd upgrade to v2.0 to try to fix that problem.....what could possibly go wrong right?

STM32CubeIDE v2.0 and standalone STM32CubeMX v6.16.1 install fine and I import the project into a new workspace and if I compile immediately after importing, it compiles fine....no errors. I open the existing .ioc file in CubeMX and everything seems to load fine. I make no changes and hit "Generate Code" just to make sure the new workflow is working properly. No changes made but it apparently overwrites the existing app_ble.c file as a compile after refreshing the work done by CubeMX yields the following errors (snippets of output shown for brevity):

Now the easy fix is uninstall v2.0 and go back to v1.19 but at some point I need to move on so am hoping you can help me understand why the project will no longer compile?

I'm at a loss to troubleshoot at this point so any pointers would be helpful.

Thank You

Note that you can have multiple versions of CubeIDE installed and in use at the same time on the same computer - you just need a separate workspace for each.

Have you tried recreating the app from scratch in v2.0.0 ?

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.

I have not tried re-creating the project from scratch in v2.0. Maybe I'm being lazy, but starting over just to recreate something I have would force me back to v1.19 first. I will try to parallel version installation as I honestly didn't know that was an option.

For reference, I have tried to compile with v1.14 firmware and v1.19 firmware specified in STM32CubeMX Project Manager but no improvements. I will continue to chip away and report anything relevant.
