Unable to add x-cube-spn5 package into latest version of CubeMX

JWhit15 · ‎2026-04-16

Hello,

The latest version of STM32CubeMX no longer lists x-cube-spn5 as an available package.

Could someone help me how to use a X-Nucleo-IHM05A1 expansion board with the latest tools please?

Based on the description in x-nucleo-ihm05a1_quick_start_guide.pdf and Getting started with the X-CUBE-SPN5 bipolar stepper motor driver software expansion for STM32Cube

All you need to do is downloading the X-CUBE-SPN5 :X-CUBE-SPN5 | Product - STMicroelectronics

Then open the preconfigured example project provided inside the expansion package for your specific Nucleo board and IDE, then adjust the configuration files such as l6208_target_config.h or main.c, build the project, and flash it to the board.
