STM32CubeMX freezes during code generation.
Hello,
I am experiencing the following issue and would appreciate your help in resolving it:
When I create a new STM32 project for STM32G474CEU6 in STM32CubeIDE, main.c and other source files are not generated.
The .ioc file loads correctly and the GUI opens as expected, but a message saying “Code generation could not be done..” appears, and only the BSD_License.ftl file is generated.
When I press Alt+K to regenerate the code, only two files — common.ftl and mw_common.ftl — are added, and no error messages are shown.
In the Problems tab of the IDE, a warning appears: “Project '*' has no explicit encoding set**”, but this can be resolved by pressing Ctrl+1. However, even after fixing this and regenerating the code, nothing changes.
Under STWindow > Preferences > STM32Cube > Firmware Updater > Check Connection, a green check mark is displayed.
This issue occurs only on an old Windows 11 laptop. On a newer Windows 11 machine and on Ubuntu, code generation works perfectly.
I have tried completely reinstalling the latest STM32CubeIDE ver. 1.18.1 several times and changing the location of the firmware repository, but whenever I create a new STM32 project, the same issue persists.
This issue has been ongoing for over a year.
I then installed the latest version of STM32CubeMX (ver. 6.14.1) and created a new STM32 project.
Except for giving the project a custom name and selecting STM32CubeIDE as the Toolchain/IDE, I left all other settings at their defaults.
During the initial attempt, a message appeared suggesting that FW v1.6.0 was missing, and something started downloading, but I didn’t look at the details closely.
In any case, the message “Generating user source code...” is displayed, and the progress bar freezes at around 20%.
I vaguely recall seeing a message in a log file indicating that a Java exception occurred because 'UTF-8' was mistakenly written as 'UFT-8', but I’m not completely sure.
- It might help to check the STM32CubeMX log files, but I’m not sure where to find them. Could you please tell me where to look?
Thanks!
