The path to the firmware is normally fixed in STM32CubeMX: Help > Updater Settings
(Shortcut: Alt-S)
But you probably used the possibility to enter the path via the Project Manager, which is meant for alternative possibilities.
Usually, the latest firmware library is used to be up to date during the development. However, if the development has already been completed and the developed status is to be frozen in order not to lose the already obtained approval of the developed system in case of later firmware updates, for example, one has the possibility to set a fixed version in the Project Manager.
In addition, you can also deactivate the default firmware location and specify your own. However, it is important to note that this is not an absolute path, but a relative one that is also found in the created .ioc file:
ProjectManager.CustomerFirmwarePackage=..\..\ etc
It is conceivable that this relative assignment means that paths can no longer be found later, for example if these paths were temporary.
I would recommend setting the firmware location using the method mentioned at the beginning. With a larger number of developers, this also has the advantage that the very large directories do not have to be kept and updated locally each time, but the repository can be kept together in a (local) cloud, for example.
Does it answer your question?
