STM32Cube tool description and installation analysis

1. Introduction to STM32CubeMX

STM32CubeMX is a graphical configuration tool for STM32 chips that STMicroelectronics has strongly recommended in recent years. It allows users to generate C initialization code using a graphical wizard, which can greatly reduce development work, time and cost.

STM32CubeMX covers almost all STM32 chips.

It has the following features:

1) Intuitively select the MCU model, specify the series, package, number of peripherals and other conditions;

2) Graphical configuration of microcontroller;

3) Automatically handle pin conflicts;

4) Dynamically set the clock tree and generate system clock configuration code;

5) Peripheral and middleware modes and initialization can be set dynamically;

6) Power consumption prediction;

7) C code engineering generator covers STM32 microcontroller initialization compiler software, such as IAR, KEIL, GCC;

8) Can be used independently or as an Eclipse plug-in.

2. STM32CubeMX installation environment

The construction of STM32CubeMX runtime environment consists of two parts.

Java runtime environment installation and STM32CubeMX software installation.

1) Java runtime environment. You can download the latest Java software from the official Java website www.java.com;

2) The latest version of STM32CubeMX can be downloaded from the ST official website www.st.com/content/st_com/zh.html;

3) Network disk: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1kWUH08n Password: 4th4

The Java runtime version of STM32CubeMX must be V1.7 or above.
