Updating to STM32CubeIDE 2.1.1 - How to create IOC file?

Hi,

Having just updated to STM32CubeIDE 2.1.1, I've created an STM32CubeIDE Empty Project (the only apparent relevant option) targeting the STM32F072 Discovery Kit as I want to experiment with the touch sensing capabilities, however when the project is created I don't see an IOC file. 

Has the workflow reverted to using STM32CubeMX to create the IOC file etc. please?

Kind regards,

Al

Hello @alw 

from the STM32CubIDE V2.0.0, the STM32CubeMX plug-in has been removed. So, the .ioc file is opened out of the STM32CubeIDE on the standalone version of the STM32CubeMX.

see STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 released.

So apparently functionality removed form STM32CubeIDE which seems like a backwards step...

This is more adequately described as "The Cheese has moved!".

        ... it is not the solution how to create the *.ioc-File also for version 2.x but only the explanation why it is not there anymore! :(

        If you read the linked article, it explains that CubeMX is used to create the .ioc file, and the OP already hinted at that.
