Hi!
I have a project based on STM32. The project can be configured to run on several STM32 boards.
Each board configuration is represented by the `.ioc` file created by CubeMX.
I want to have a CI (Continuous Integration) setup that will compile the project for all supported boards.
In order to do this I created a Docker image with Java, STM32CubeMX and all the necessary toolchain.
Then I wrote a Cube command line script that generates the code given a `.ioc` file as an input.
I invoke this script as part of a Makefile using a line similar to this:
java -jar STM32CubeMX -q my_script
Since I passed the `-q` flag, I expected that no GUI will be presented.
The docker container crashes executing this line, since it does not have a display capabilities requested by CubeMX, even if it is not going to display anything.
I tried doing this on an actual machine without docker, but then sometimes I would get a popup window during the generation process that requires user intervention.
Such window might pop when you enable FreeRTOS and select SysTick as the HAL timebase source:
This is a problem since the generation process is halted until the user presses a button, which is unacceptable for automated CI environment.
Is there a way to use Cube as a *true* CLI? I would rather it failed when encounter any problem, instead of waiting for user input.
Is such thing possible?
#stm32cubemx. #stme32-cube
