Some CubeMX commands don't work anymore.

Kristof Mulier

I use the CubeMX command-line interface. Normally I put my script in a file, and run it like this:

java -jar "C:\path\to\STM32CubeMX.exe" -q "C:\path\to\myscript.txt"

But before doing that, I test the script commands one-by-one in the interactive mode. That means, I start up CubeMX with the command line interface and I can see visually what happens upon each command I enter:

java -jar "C:\path\to\STM32CubeMX.exe" -i

The first command I usually issue then is to load an existing `ioc-file`:

config load "C:\path\to\my_cubemx_proj.ioc"

Then I issue the following command:

set mode FREERTOS Enabled

This works. I can see immediately the green checkmark appearing next to `FREERTOS` in the Middleware section. The next thing I do is changing the Timebase Source in SYS from `SysTick` to `TIM1`:

set mode SYS TIM1 Timebase Source

This used to work in the previous CubeMX version. But in CubeMX5 it doesn't have any effect. The following image illustrates what happens:

Hi,

I discovered the answer (through trial and error).

set mode FREERTOS CMSIS_V1
set mode SYS TIM1

The main problem is this:

The CubeMX documentation explains how the `set mode` command works:

set mode <Periph> <Mode Name>

but nowhere can I find the values I should fill in for the placeholders.

Thank you @Houda GHABRI​ 

I look forward to the new release. I've noticed that not only he `SYS` settings, but many other settings in CubeMX cannot be adapted anymore using the command line interface. Hopefully they'll get fixed as well.

I'm happy STMicro provides the CubeMX tool as a standalone application with both a Graphical User Interface and a command line interface. This one of the reasons I prefer using STMicro chips compared to other manufacturers. Nowadays, many manufacturers create their code generator tools as a mere plugin for Eclipse, without standalone version. That's really awful, because it forces people to use Eclipse.

Thumbs up for STMicro :)

Hi @Houda GHABRI​ ,

Thank you for your reply.

I like the new "look and feel" of CubeMX V5. It is refreshing :)

Hi @Houda GHABRI​ ,

Can you please contact the development team of CubeMX for this issue? Our startup is creating a new product - based on STM32 microcontrollers - to be announced on the Nuremberg Embedded World conference (we rent a stand in the startup area). The issue described above is blocking our development. Please, please help...
