    • How to import an STM Package into SW4STM?

    Posted by doctek on 2016-04-09 05:55

    I've managed to get a couple of simple applications to run in SW4STM and love it! ST finally has embraced Open Source sw like Eclipse! However, I haven't been successful at importing the software package for STM32CubeExpansion_MEMSMIC1_V1.2.0. Does anyone have a recipe that works for this? It appears that ST has not really prepared this package for importing, and has provided no instructions (that I have found) to explain what to do.

    Before I punt completely and build the project entirely by hand, I thought I'd ask for guidance from this forum. I'm confident that ST must have directions on how to do this, if I can just ferret them out.

    Thanks for any assistance!

    BTW, I've just updated all the software I'm using. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit.

    did you (or anyone else) have a solution for this?

    I have just started using SW4STM and have no problem loading and modifying example projects from the cube expansion packages but am really struggling to build a project from scratch with them.

    I though maybe I needed to use cubemx as a starting point but I cannot find any way of adding the expansion packages to that either.

    After groping in the dark for a while, here's what I found:

    I started by downloading the files for the project I wanted to work on from the ST site. This had files for several processors/boards in it.
    In Eclipse, create an empty project.
    Import the file system into the project. (This is the root of the files I downloaded, IIRC)
    Locate the appropriate project for your board/processor. (Example: sw4stm/l053 version)
    Right click on it. This gave the option "Import as Project" which I selected.
    This created a new project in Eclipse.
    In Project Settings, I had to be sure and point to the correct compiler location (may not be requred now) and had to fix the paths to the Include files. I used absolute file names to files in the workspace area that was just created.
    Doing this resulted in a clean compile, but I couldn't get things to run as I expected them to. This may be due to my lack of experience with this tool set.

    Caveat: I have not gotten back to this since mid-April. Maybe this will be of some use to you. It's frustrating that ST does not see fit to support this excellent platform!

    Hello Doctek,

    May I suggest the following steps assuming :

    • I downloaded the STM32CubeL0 Firware Package;
    • I am using the STM32L053R8-Nucleo and using the GPIO_IOToggle project In C:\...\STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.5.0\Projects\STM32L053R8-Nucleo\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle folder;

    Then :

    • I launch SW4STM32 and select my workspace = C:\...\STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.5.0\Projects\STM32L053R8-Nucleo\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle\SW4STM32;
    • I right-click in the project explorer >> Import >> General >> Existing Projects into Workspace >> Browse >> Select STM32L053R8_NUCLEO folder >> Finish;
    • I launch compilation (no need to add extra settings) : Build finished successfully;
