Question

hi, I am using cubeide v1.3 on win10.

While I am trying to generate code automatically using cubeide, I found I cannot change the firmware package name and version.

Since I only installed STM32CubeFW_F4 V1.24.0, and I donot wanna update to the newest version which is 1.25. How can I change the setting, which now is not editable.

Not possible. Or at least not possible if creating a new ​project. STM32Cube ecosystem is forcing you to use most recent version of firmware pack.

If having already an existing project then even if updating STM32Cube tool suite former versions of pack​ (the one your project is based on) is supported.

Hi @spica lai​ 

STM32CubeIDE forces the user to use the most recent version of the firmware.

thx a lot.

​

However, I found a way to resolve this by edit *.ioc using an external text editor like this:

ProjectManager.FirmwarePackage=STM32Cube FW_F4 V1.24.0

​

which is quite arbitory.

​

Anyway, It is better to let users change it in a more convenient way.

BTW, I found a bug of CubeIDE.

When I didnot connect internet and start CubeIDE (open CubeIDE before internet is connected), I failed to open Embedded Software Package Manager.

The detail is:

  1. Start CubeIDE.
  2. Click Help->Embedded Software Package Manager.
  3. It cames out a dialog as attachment.
  4. If I choose yes, it comes out some settings of CubeIDE.
  5. If I choose no, nothing happened.

As a whole, if I was offline, the Embedded Software Package manager cannot be opened.

That is to say, the package can not be installed from local OFFLINE.

thx a lot for your reply.

I have done want you have said.

however, when I clicked Embedded Software Package Manager again, nothing came out. The manager dialog doesnot come out.

Here is my experement:

  1. If always offline (not connected internet before open cubeide), no manager comes out.
  2. If connected internet and open cubeide and keep online, manager comes out.

Hi @spica lai​ 

I tested the same scenario: I didn't connect internet then i start CubeIDE (open CubeIDE before internet is connected), I can open Manage Embedded Software Package normally.

Please try to reinstall the CubeIDE, then tell me if the problem still exists.

Best regards,

Nesrine
