STM32CubeMX 6.16.0 released

[Aimen1]

We are pleased to announce that STM32CubeMX 6.16.0 release is available.

What is new in 6.16.0:

• Added support for new microcontrollers across the STM32WBA, STM32N6 and STM32H5 series and the STM32WL3x product line. The related new boards include the NUCLEO-WL3RKB1 and NUCLEO-WL3RKB2.

• Implemented the "Start from Board" feature for NUCLEO-WL3RKB1 and NUCLEO-WL3RKB2:

  • Preconfigured board setup through the Start From Board feature simplifies project creation and significantly reduces development time.

• Released a new installer that natively supports Apple® Silicon :

  • Native support of ARM64 for mac computers. 

• Implemented the memory management tool for STM32N6:

  • This feature is designed to assist developers in configuring and optimizing the memory layout of their STM32N6 projects efficiently.

• Enhanced the build process using:

  • Default configuration: ST ARM CLANG with its own linker instead of GCC linker.

  • Picolib is selected as default library for the best footprint.

• Removed the user authentication feature:

  • Simplified STM32CubeMX by removing the user authentication feature to enhance the user experience.

• Migrated to SamacSys as a new CAD provider for STM32CubeMX.

• Added access to video tutorials through multiple locations :

  • STM32CubeMX main tabs, MCUFinder tabs and some specific peripherals.

Any reason for this? Changing default after many years seems odd without a reason. This change isn't mentioned in the release notes. Nor do they mention picolib. Unless I'm missing something.

I guess some of that is covered in this post:

Broken link, possibly meant to link to a different page instead of 2x links to the (missing) errata?
