Unbiased Review of the new and "improved"(?) STM32CubeMX2

[Niclas Hedhman]

@lbthomsen of STM32World has published a review of the new STM32CubeMX2, what is good (not so much), indifferent and BAD (a lot). He tries to get it working, browse through the features, and has a lot of opinion on this matter.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61r83TTzDfk

End of the day, IF you plan to use future STM32 families (starting with STM32C5) you have no choice than to use CubeMX2 AND the very painful migration from HAL to HAL2 (not compatible, maybe some future tool can assist in such migration). Even if migration is possible, then you will have the pleasure to support multiple versions of YOUR code on old vs new MCU families. Have FUN.

For the people without perfect vision (like myself), embrace yourself for 4 pixels font sizes, and contrast-free dark-white-on-white-backgrounds text. Lovely! At least there is plenty of white space around the text that can sooth your soul.

Now is the best time for experienced STM32 shops to leave HAL, CubeMX and go Bare Metal ;)

Hello @v_dimitrov 

On the https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/stm32-mcu-developer-zone/mcu-portfolio.html page, you can add a column with the price. The price column is not displayed by default.

 

You can also select a single CAN filter.

The online tool should fulfill all your needs. If it does not, let me know. I will report any issues to the team responsible for the page.

Hi, and thank you for your feedback,

As a complement to @Emil Damkjaer PETERSEN's reply, I’d like to confirm that we have internal trackers open for the topics you raised: improving text contrast and font weight across all views for better readability, and improving panning and zooming behavior.

Internal ticket numbers: CDM0060898 and CDM0060899.

I will keep you posted on their progress and on any updates that make it into upcoming releases.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback.
