Starting a new project from a board NUCLEO-F767Zi

[Rick Hamilton]

Hi,

Using STM32CubeMX version 6.15.0

When I start a new project from the NUCLDO-F767ZI board I just get a blank chip, none of the component configuration at all, I tried it on two PC's both the same.
This used to work and was quite handy starting a new project.  At the moment I am going through a selection of processors so having to manually configure it before I can test it is a bit of a pain, any solutions?

LOOK IT IS NOT DIFFICULT! It is not working for me, it stopped a couple of days ago

 

and I have been using this tool for years.

It does not work on my main PC, it does not work on my backup PC, and it does not work as a brand new install on my laptop.

Could it be my ST Account?

Hello @Rick Hamilton 

Let's try to Refresh Data 

[Rick Hamilton]

I have tried deleting the directory, refreshing the data uninstalling deleting the whole program file and installing it on a laptop as a fresh install.  P promise you I have tried every single option available.  The fact it is happening on 3 PC's would tend to suggest its not a local problem.

Just before posting this I re-tried "Refresh Data" and still the same on my PC and on a fresh install on my Laptop.

I have even tried going back a few versions of the cube.

The only thing in common with the 3 computers is my network connection and my ST Account.

Hello @Rick Hamilton 

Let's try using a different ST account.

You've had a brain fart and made a mistake.

When you select the NUCLEO-F767Zi in the board tab, you've clicked on the part#  in the Mounted Device column, which takes you to the MCU selection which you can see in your video capture. Then you started a new project but it's for the STM32F767Zi, not the NUCLEO-F767Zi.

Instead, just click on the row to highlight the row, but do not click the mounted device. The Board Selector tab should still be selected when you do so. Then you can start a new BOARD project.

With respect this was because I was trying to get the video done quickly.  I have been trying for days to get this working on 3 machines with reinstalls etc.  I have been using the cube for almost 10 years.  Thanks for your helpful hint but it is not the issue!

Hello @Rick Hamilton

@Karl Yamashita Thank you for your input

@Rick Hamilton Could you please provide another video that clearly illustrates the issue.

[Karl Yamashita]

If you've been doing this for 10 years, then you would have known not to click the part# from memory.

But if you've did do it as you say, make another video showing the correct procedure so we can see the final result showing the MCU pinout and the whole program. There is some text shown that will help diagnose what could be the issue

Thank you both for your assistance. 

I uninstalled STMCubeMX, I deleted all site data from Chrome, I created a new ST account and re-installed everything and it works.
If I repeat the process I did on the video you are right it does just create a blank processor because I did not select the board tab. 

The board tab stopped a few days ago so I think the original issue was the .stmcubemx directory then followed by my frustration of not being able to get it working.

Thanks again.
