Example not showing in CubeMX Example Selector after adding to STM32Cube Pack

[yahyaaouledamer]

Hello,

I’ve created a custom STM32Cube Pack using STM32Cube Pack Creator and added an example project inside the pack. The pack builds successfully and installs correctly in CubeMX. However, the example I added does not appear in the CubeMX Example Selector.

It appears in "Repository/Packs" in my user folder in c:/

Details:

• Pack created with STM32Cube Pack Creator

• Example project added under the Examples folder in the pack structure

• Pack installs fine and is visible in CubeMX

• The example does not show up in the CubeMX Example Selector list

Questions:

• Are there specific requirements or metadata (e.g., .pdsc file entries, example description XML) that must be included for CubeMX to recognize and display the example?

• Could this be related to the folder structure or naming conventions inside the pack?

• Any guidance or documentation on ensuring custom examples appear in CubeMX would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @yahyaaouledamer 

The STM32CubeMX Example Selector is a feature within STM32CubeMX that allows users to browse and open example projects. Specifically, it displays:

1- Official example projects provided by STMicroelectronics.
2- These examples are included in the official STM32Cube firmware packages and are integrated into the CubeMX database

The Example Selector does not display custom or user-added examples from third-party or user-created STM32Cube Packs. Only examples officially released and maintained by STMicroelectronics are shown.
