STM32Cube<\/td>\nSTM32Cube is a combination of software tools and embedded software libraries<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32CubeMX<\/td>\nA configuration tool for any STM32 device. This easy-to-use graphical user interface generates initialization C code for Cortex-M cores and generates the Linux device tree source for Cortex-A cores<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32CubeIDE<\/td>\nAn Integrated Development Environment. Based on open-source solutions like Eclipse or the GNU C\/C++ toolchain, this IDE includes compilation reporting features and advanced debug features. It also integrate additional features present in other tools from the ecosystem, such as the HW and SW initilialization and code generation from STM32CubeMX.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32CubeProgrammer<\/td>\nA programming tool. It provides an easy-to-use and efficient environment for reading, writing and verifying devices and external memories via a wide variety of available communication media (JTAG, SWD, UART, USB DFU, I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32CubeMonitor<\/td>\nFamily of tools. Powerful monitoring tools that help developers fine-tune the behavior and performance of their applications in real time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32Cube MCU and MPU packages<\/td>\nDedicated to each STM32 series. Packages offer all the required embedded software bricks to operate the available set of STM32 peripherals. They include drivers (HAL, low-layer, etc.), middleware, and lots of example code used in a wide variety of real-world use cases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
STM32Cube expansion packages<\/td>\nFor application-oriented solutions. Complementing and expanding the STM32Cube MCU Package offer with additional embedded software bricks, STM32 expansion packages come either from ST or approved partners to create an extensive and scalable embedded software offer around the STM32.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From SW4STM32 to STM32CubeIDE<\/td>\nPreviously, developers could use SW4STM32 a free version of System Workbench that supports our entire lineup of microcontrollers. STM32CubeIDE already supports almost all our microcontrollers, except the STM32MP1, which is the first STM32 MPU.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
From TrueSTUDIO to STM32CubeIDE<\/td>\nDevelopers also had an alternative to SW4STM32 in the form of TrueSTUDIO, which ST bought along with its acquisition of Atollic in 2017. STM32CubeIDE gets all these features and more, ensuring that people will not miss TrueSTUDIO.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

STM32CubeMX C Code generation<\/h3>\n
STM32CubeMX: STM32Cube initialization code generator<\/p>\n
STM32CubeMX is a graphical tool that allows a very easy configuration of STM32 microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as the generation of the corresponding initialization C code for the Arm Cortex-M core, through a step-by-step process.<\/p>\n
6.1 STM32Cube code generation using only HAL drivers<\/h4>\n
During the C code generation process, STM32CubeMX performs the following actions:downloads the relevant STM32Cube MCU package<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Downloads the relevant STM32Cube MCU package<\/li>\n
  2. It copies from the firmware package, the relevant files<\/li>\n
  3. It generates the initialization C code (.c\/.h<\/code> files) corresponding to the user MCU configuration and stores it in the Inc<\/code> and Src<\/code> folders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
