CubeMX code generation from command line

dvescovi · ‎2025-12-08

I would like to automate code generation of my .ioc file using CubeMX from command line or PowerShell.

AI says its possible with the -q (quiet mode) option but it does not seem to work.

Yes, as stated in UM1718 "3.3.2 Running STM32CubeMX in command-line mode" you can run STM32CubeMX in command-line mode without UI:

– On Windows:
cd <STM32CubeMX installation path>
jre\bin\java -jar STM32CubeMX.exe –q <script filename>
– On Linux and macOS:
./STM32CubeMX –q <script filename

What version are you using?

Please show the command you actually used, and the results you got.

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.
