STM32CubeMX crash

[Intector]

Hello STM,

My STM32CubeMX crashes randomly. I've attached the ioc file so you can run some tests and see for yourself. I tried to make some changes to my original project, and as I reopened the ioc it came up with this message:

After that, I created a new project and was able to change things around until I activated the XSPI1 and XSPI2 with the Memory Manager and the Memory Loader. After those changes, I got this message:

I lost all the changes in my project and had to start over. That CubeMX software is annoying. If it's not one thing, it will be another.

My STM32CubeMX version is: 

My STM32CubeIDE version is:

The attached files are from the test project.

After one goes into Tools --> Memory Management settings and turns on the two switches in Code Generation Configuration.

If you go into the IOC file and delete all the "MMTApp" stuff, STM32CubeMX will usually start. However, all your memory settings will be lost. If you try to activate those switches again, the same thing happens.

Hello @Intector 

First let me thank you for posting and apologize for the inconveniency.

In fact this is a known issue with the STM32CubeMX 6.13 version which occurs when activating the memory mapping tool (MMT) and Ethernet.

Unfortunately the only solution is either you disactivate the MMT and make the memory settings manually or use STM32CubeMX 6.12.

A permanent fix will be provided in the next STM32CubeMX release which will be published in the near future.

KR,
Semer.

Hey @Semer CHERNI 

Thank you for the fast answer. That's exactly what I thought. I edited my linker file and adjusted the MPU settings manually. Since I'm using VisualGDB for development, it's not a big problem. It's just very cumbersome for people using STM32CubeIDE(if there are any) because every time one regenerates the code, all changes are lost.

Thank you, and try to keep in mind:
