STM32CubeMX2 (MCUs)

Hello, I have a problem verifying the HCLK frequency for Nucleo-C562RE. I configure the clock to 144MHz (see image below). When I start the application I print the HCLK frequency: SEGGER_RTT_printf("---- MCU started at %lu[Hz] ----\n", HAL_RCC_GetHCLKFreq()); I get 48MHz: ---- MCU started at 48000000[Hz] ---- While stepping through the HAL_Init code I see that the code thinks that the clock source is LL_RCC_SYS_CLKSOURCE_STATUS_HSIDIV3 (48MHz)

Finally was able to test STM32CubeMX2 with a NUCLEO-C562RE board.Simple LED blinking project, and here's what I found out. Project bloat:STM32CubeMX2: 26.2 MB of generated data and when compiled 41.1 MB (NUCLEO-C562RE)STM32CubeMX: 4.6 MB generated and compiled 15.7 MB (NUCLEO-C031C6, same functionality) The old STM32CubeMX included only the HAL libraries actually used.The new one dumps everything in.That's a 5.7x increase for a blink LED. Missing Release configuration:Generated CMake project contains only Debug configuration - No Release.Interesting, because the official "MOOC STM32CubeMX2" video at 4:53 clearly shows both configurations.Either something changed or the video is misleading. Creating Release configuration manually requires editing multiple CMake files, including inside the cmake folder — supposedly overwritten on regeneration (in practice, changed only at

  @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

Hello,STM32CubeMX2 looks good and I started my first STM32C5 Project.But what I miss: The Power Consumption Calculator. It was a helpful and often used tool in STM32CubeMX and I could find it in the new Generation 2.Is it planned to be integrated in future releases?Thanks!Markus

Hi,How do I generate a project for STM32CubeIDE using STM32cubeMX2? Apparently, the only options are cmake, IAR, and open-cmsis (Keil). And is it possible to open examples from STM32CubeC5 using STM32CubeIDE?Ari

Heyho, wanted to check if C5 might be good for next project and have a first look at MX2. Installed it, started project with C562 / Nucleo - and nothing happens, except for a short error message in the bottom right corner of the window: "error when downloading packs" ( + some file name). Further info: - Windows 11 - started MX2 first as normal user, then as admin, same behaviour - all other STM32 tools running fine (MX1, IDE, Prog)

Yesterday I was able to generate a cmake project which included main.c/h files. I opened the project in VS Code but had errors trying to build. I had VS code fix the errors so now I am able to build the project. Today, I generated another project but the main.c/h files are missing as seen in the screen shot. I've timed the project generation and it takes 3 minutes to generate a project. Why so long? Why are the IOC files created outside of the project folder?      

when you enable SWD in CubeMX2 it automatically blocks the SWO pin as well (tested using C531FBP6), but I only need SWCLK / SWDIO to debug. please add a way to disable the use of SWO.

Hello,I tried to install the STM32CubeMX2 on Linux Lite 6.6 which is base on Ubuntu 22.04, but get unsupport file error.I double check that I allow this file to run as a program. Is there any guide on how to i

See Inconsistent pin naming for CubeMX - does the same apply to CubeMX2 ?   (Cross-posting at the request of @Ghofrane GSOURI; again, no label available for "Suggestions")

There is no USBX or other middleware in my cubemx2, but the connection introduction indicates that it is available. How to access middleware & utilities - STM32CubeMX2 1.0.0 documentation    

The STM32CubeIDE project output setting is not present in STM32CubeMX2. Is there a way to generate a project that STM32CubeIDE can use? How do I do this? I did try the "CMake" option but wasn't able to get a project to import correctly.

A few direct questions about the current CubeMX2/HAL2 split. Are older STM32 series expected to stay on HAL1 + CubeMX permanently, or is there an actual plan to migrate them to HAL2 + CubeMX2? What is the long-term support model here?Are these two stacks supposed to coexist for years, or is HAL1/CubeMX effectively going into maintenance mode? Is there any official migration guide planned?Both for HAL1 → HAL2 API migration and CubeMX project → CubeMX2 project migration. How is the VS Code extension supposed to work with both ecosystems in practice?If one project is on CubeMX/HAL1 and another is on CubeMX2/HAL2, what is the intended workflow?Is proper support planned for both, or is the tooling mainly targeting the new stack? Where is the actual HAL1 vs HAL2 side-by-side data?Flash usage, RAM usage, performance, code size, same project, same MCU class, comparable buil

Recently I’ve been learning about the updated STM32 software ecosystem, including the new HAL2 library and STM32CubeMX 2 tool. I have a few practical questions and would like to start a discussion with all STM32 developers here.   What are the new characteristics, improvements and advantages of HAL2 compared with the traditional HAL library?   Can STM32CubeMX 2 still support earlier and older STM32 MCUs, or does it only serve the latest chip series?   For those legacy STM32 microcontrollers, are they able to use the new HAL2 library, or can they only run the classic HAL as before?   If you have relevant development experience or official information, welcome to share your views and explanations.  

Hi all,   in the release note of the STM32C5 family it is mentioned that the family will be supported with STM32CubeMX2. May I please ask when is it going to be available?    With best regards, Dmitry

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding the upcoming release of CubeMX2 and its backward compatibility. Once CubeMX2 is released, will the older series before C5 (like the F4) support MX2 and HAL2? Also, if they do support it, will we be forced to bundle HAL2 for these older models, or will there be some flexibility? Thanks in advance for any insights or official clarification! Best,Leo

Hi, I was just reading about the new STM32C5 processors. The press release states: Enhancements to the development ecosystem include a new STM32CubeMX flavor, STM32CubeMX2, which introduces a preview feature that allows faster access to reference code thereby accelerating development and easing code reuse. Also new in the STM32CubeC5 embedded software offer, the latest code-size optimized hardware abstraction layer (HAL2), gives access to all MCU features and allows more of the MCU’s memory to be used for application code. What is CubeMX2 and HAL2
