1、Integrated development environment（IDE）
IDE is the abbreviation of Integrated Development Environment, which is used to integrate various development tools and functions to provide a unified development environment.
Tutorials are developed using STM32CubeIDE software
1.1、STM32CubeMX
STM32CubeMX is a powerful visualization tool for generating initialization code and configuring STM32 microcontrollers .
Main Features
- Visualization configuration: pin configuration, clock configuration, peripheral configuration, etc
An intuitive graphical interface is provided, so that developers can easily configure the STM32 microcontroller.
- Support HAL library, LL library；
- Supports multiple development tools；
Automatically generate engineering framework, support export EWARM, MDK-ARM, STM32CubeIDE, Makefile engineering files.
1.2、MDK-ARM
MDK-ARM is an integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Keil for software development of embedded systems, supporting MCU from multiple chip vendors (including STMicroelectronics STM32 series), providing a complete development environment.
Main Features
- Stable and mature development environment;
- Support development tasks such as code editing, compilation, debugging, and simulation.；
- Provides a powerful ARM compiler and optimization options to generate efficient object code.。
1.3、STM32CubeIDE
STM32CubeIDE is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment specifically designed to develop STM32 applications.
Main Features
- Integrate CubeMX configuration tool；
- Rich plugin and toolchain support is provided；
- Developers can write, debug, and test code directly.
