Why is the "Toolchain/IDE" configuration disabled in the "Project Manager" tab in my project?

Hello,

I'm following the video about using the VSCode Extension and how to convert an existing project from STM32CubeIDE to VSCode-compatible. The video says to select CMake in the Toolchain/IDE configuration in the project

But this configuration is disabled and I can't change it I don't know why

Does anyone know what's going on? What am I missing?

By the way, this is not a sample project. I created it from scratch with the CubeIDE project creation wizard.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04

STM32CubeIDE: 1.17.0

Device: STM32WB5MM

Firmware Package: STM32Cube FW_WB V1.21.0

Hello @m4l490n 

This is happening because you are using the STM32CubeMX version integrated on the STM32CubeIDE. So, project will be generated for CubeIDE only. But to have a Cmake file you should use the STM32CubeMX standalone version available on https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html

Best Regards.

@STTwo-32Thanks! that was it. The standalone CubeMX works.
