Hello
I'm new with ST microcontrollers and reading the documentation I can see that there is STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeF4. I read also that STM32CubeMX contains the STM32CubeF4 or something like that.My question is; If STM32CubeMX contain the STM32CubeF4 then why is it a separate page and documentation for both of them?Does it mean that I only need to install STM32CubeMX and it will have all I need to generate the code for the STM32F4? or do I need to install them both?I'm planning to use the eclipse plugin but I don't know what's the deal with the STM32CubeF4.Than you for answering.Regards! #stm32cubemx #stm32cubef4 #stm32cubemx #eclipse #eclipse2014-05-13 01:23 AM
Hi,
STM32Cube includes: - A comprehensive embedded software platform, delivered per series (such asSTM32CubeF4 for STM32F4 series) - The STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows to generate Cinitialization C code using graphical wizards. STM32CubeMX implements a mechanism to access the internet and to: o Perform self-updates of STM32CubeMX and of the STM32Cube firmware packagesinstalled on the user computer o Download new firmware packages and patches Installing STM32CubeMX as an Eclipse IDE plug-in is possible, you can deal with that referring to paragraph 3.3.2 in the User Manual UM1718 :http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC961/SS1533/PF259242
With regards.2015-03-30 01:49 PM
Hi
I Installed the STM32CubeMX eclipse plugin as the documentation says but when I open the STM32CubeMX perspective it appears empty, I mean, blank, nothing shows. Then a couple of minutes an eclipse error appears. Eclipse doesn't crash but I can't use the STMCubeMX perspective.Any Ideas?2015-04-07 07:02 AM

Hi
I'm using eclipse kepler. Do I need to use eclipase luna for this?Thanks!2016-01-14 12:42 AM
So does STM32CubeMX (solely) includes all STM32CubeF1..F4 versions into one package?
Is ther a disadvantage to use STM32CubeMX or will it be the future platform?2016-01-15 07:02 AM
Hello,
STM32CubeMX will propose you to download the firmware package necessary to your configuration (selected MCU) if not already installed in the repository folder you specified under STM32CubeMX Help sub-menu ''Updater settings''. To each STM32 series correspond one STM32Cube firmware package. Each of the STM32Cube firmware packages are downloadable via STM32CubeMX tool.2016-01-15 07:44 AM
To visualize STM32CubeMX within Eclipse:
Select Eclipse menus: Window > Open Perspective > Other , then select STM32CubeMX. STM32CubeMX perspective opens and you can start your work with STM32CubeMX , creating a new project or loading an existing STM32CubeMX project (loading the project .ioc file)2016-01-15 06:51 PM
I once installed the STM32Cube eclipse plugin in eclipse kepler and it was not working properly. Eventually eclipse started to behave erroneously and I had to re-install it.
Is the plugin updated? or is it more stable in Luna?Thanks!!
