It looks like you're opening an .IOC file within STM32CubeIDE, so the choice is locked to STM32CubeIDE.

Open the IOC in standalone STM32CubeMX.

Side note: That has to be the worst font for readability I've seen in quite a while. Are you on Linux?

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

Can you please detail me step by step what i need to do ?

I didnt understand what you mean by "Open the IOC in standalone STM32CubeMX", how do i open it standalone?

[TDK]

Download and install STM32CubeMX from here:

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html

Run it.

Open your IOC file.

Probably save-as to another folder location.

Change Toolchain/IDE as desired.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

The file is not open at all in another folder location.

it is opening only from the original project folder.

I am getting the error i attached.

Is there any other way to unlock the "toolchain/ide" category?

thanks a lot

​Hello @YBuch.1​ 

When you create an STM32 project from the CubeIDE you can only use STM32CubeIDE as Toolchain/IDE (you will notice that only CubeIDE exists and that it is greyed out).

Otherwise, if you create a new .ioc from STM32CubeMX you can choose the IDE that suits your needs.

I tryed it. it is still disabled..

I did not managed to create another a new .ioc from STM32CubeMX like in the second example,

Hi @YBuch.1​ 

Download and install STM32CubeMX from here:

https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-configurators-and-code-generators/stm32cubemx.html

Create an .ioc from STM32CubeMX then, you can choose the IDE that suits your needs.

Best regards,
