Can I use STM32CubeMX2 to generate an STM32CubeIDE project? How?

[TDK]

The STM32CubeIDE project output setting is not present in STM32CubeMX2. Is there a way to generate a project that STM32CubeIDE can use? How do I do this?

I did try the "CMake" option but wasn't able to get a project to import correctly.

I  only do small try, but you can import cmake project,

I believe ST is focusing more on VS Code and moving away from Eclipse IDE.

Hi @TDK 

in stm32cubemx2 Cmake project is usable for both stm32cubeide eclipse and vscode 

if you encounter issues please share it and we will be happy to help

This post is me encountering issues and asking for assistance.

Is there a workflow? The "File -> Import -> Existing Projects..." option imports a project but there is no "build" option.

Hello  @TDK ,

This is the recommended way to use an STM32CubeMX2 CMake project with STM32CubeIDE (v2.1.1 recommended):

• In STM32CubeIDE, go to File → STM32 Project Create/Import.
• Under Import STM32 Project, select STM32 CMake Project, then click Next.
• Enter a project name and select the source folder, then click Next.
• Choose the correct STM32 MCU and click Finish.

The project will then appear as an STM32 CMake project, and the normal Build option will be available.

There should be notes, unless I skipped over it on the STM32CubeMX2 documentation, that when using STM32CubeMX2 and want to import the CMake project with STM32CubeIDE, that you need a minimum of V2.x.x. I'm still on 1.19.0 because of the V2.0.0 bugs. I don't see the STM32 CMake Project option you've mentioned.

Thanks. I was running into the same difficulty that @Karl Yamashita mentions below. With the stop in development in STM32CubeIDE, I didn't expect the file options to be changing.

Once updated to the latest version, the instructions work and I can build a CMake based STM32CubeMX2 project.

Older versions don't have a STM32C5 chip to be able to select, so updating seems to be the only choice.
