2.2.2 STM32CubeIDE
STM32CubeIDE is an all-in-one multi-OS development tool, which is part of the
STM32Cube software ecosystem.
Figure 13. STM32CubeIDE
STM32CubeIDE is an advanced C/C++ development platform with peripheral configuration,
code generation, code compilation, and debug features for STM32 microcontrollers. It is
based on the
Eclipse
®
/CDT framework and GCC toolchain for the development, and GDB
for the debugging. It allows the integration of the hundreds of existing plugins that complete
the features of the
Eclipse
®
IDE. STM32CubeIDE integrates all STM32CubeMX
functionalities to offer all-in-one tool experience and save installation and development time.
After the selection of an empty STM32 MCU or MPU, or preconfigured microcontroller from
the selection of a board, the project is created, and initialization code generated. At any time
during the development, the user can return to the initialization and configuration of the
peripherals or middleware and regenerate the initialization code with no impact on the user
code. STM32CubeIDE includes build and stack analyzers that provide the user with useful
information about project status and memory requirements. STM32CubeIDE also includes
standard and advanced debugging features including views of CPU core registers,
memories, and peripheral registers, as well as live variable watch, Serial Wire Viewer
interface, or fault analyzer.
