STM32CubeIDE installation

The development tool used for the tutorial is the STM32CubeIDE software

1、Software download

1.1、Software download

ST office website：https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/stm32cubeide.html

1.2、Choosing a platform

• platform：Windows

1.3、Filling in information

• Agreement of consent

• Filling in information

The email address needs to be filled in accurately, and the software download link will be sent to you by email

• Complete submission

• Email to download the installer

xxxxxxxxxx
Click on the link to go to the official website, the website will automatically jump out of the software compressed package download window

2、Software Installation

2.1、Open the installer

• Administrator

  Open the installation package as an administrator

​x
If you open the software installation package, then you see "NSIS ERROR: error launching installer" error:

Please put the package in the path without Chinese characters

2.2、Installation Process - Setup

• Next

• Agreement of consent → I agree

• Location of installation → Next → Install

xxxxxxxxxx
The following are recommended to use the default installation location of the software and the path does not contain Chinese characters

xxxxxxxxxx
Check the option to install ST-Link and J-Link drivers

• Installing the driver

xxxxxxxxxx
If you followed the tutorial in Chapter 2 to this point, you'll notice that the ST-Link, J-Link, and ULINK drivers are all installed

• Waiting for installation → Next

• Finish

3、Software configuration

Familiar with software options and functions.

3.1、Open the application

• Click on Left mouse button：double-click the desktop app

• Choosing a workspace

xxxxxxxxxx
You can create a new folder, the folder path can not contain Chinese characters

3.2、Sign-up - Login to your account

xxxxxxxxxx
Since I installed STM32CubeMX before and logged in my account on that software, the system logged in my account by default

Do not register and login accounts can refer to the "STM32CubeMX installation" tutorial

3.3、Installing the firmware package

• Help → Manage embedded software packages

• Install the latest firmware package of the STM32F1 series

xxxxxxxxxx
1. The chip firmware package cannot be installed without logging into the account

2. To install or uninstall, check the box in front of the chip firmware package. Click this option and there will be no install and uninstall options

• Waiting to download

• Close the page

4、Software Usage

STM32CubeIDE integrates STM32CubeMX functions, which can be used for pin configuration, and can be directly used for code writing and debugging.

Tips：The following are required for almost every project. Later in the Peripheral driver tutorial, we will skip the following steps and walk through the pin layout and configuration options to guide the user through the configuration.

4.1、New construction

xxxxxxxxxx
Generally, new projects can only be built through this option when the software is used for the first time, and new projects in the later period can be referred to [9, new construction again].

4.2、Chip selection

• Chip selection and interface

4.3、Project setup

xxxxxxxxxx
The default configuration is enough, and the project file name can be customized

xxxxxxxxxx
The interface is the same as STM32CubeMX

4.4、Pin layout and configuration

• SYS

• RCC

4.5、Clock configuration

xxxxxxxxxx
refer to the options involved in the red line

4.6、Project management

• Project

xxxxxxxxxx
Using STM32CubeIDE can not export other project files (such as MDK-ARM project files)

• Code Generator

• Advance Settings

xxxxxxxxxx
Choose the library to use for your initialization code: the HAL library is demonstrated here

4.7、Generate initialization code

Click the Code Generate or Save button to generate the initialization code

xxxxxxxxxx
Using Ctrl+S to save will also generate initialization code

4.8、Writing the code

USER CODE must be located between USER CODE BEGIN and User code END,otherwise the next time you use the STM32CubeMX peripheral configuration feature it will remove code outside that location.

4.9、New construction again

Demonstrate how to create a new project in the project file, which is often used in real development

The project file management area will appear for the new project

Refer to the previous steps for the next steps.

5、Q&A

5.1、Encoding format problem

Tip：Project '***' has no explicit encoding set

solution：Change the file encoding → UTF-8
