4.2.2Board selector

The Board selector enables filtering on STM32 board types, series and peripherals (see Figure 31). Only the default board configuration is proposed. Alternative board configurations obtained by reconfiguring jumpers or by using solder bridges are not supported.

When a board is selected, the Pinout view is initialized with the relevant MCU part number along with the pin assignments for the LCD, buttons, communication interfaces, LEDs, and other functions. Optionally, the user can choose to initialize it with the default peripheral modes.

When a board configuration is selected, the signals change to 'pinned', i.e. they cannot be moved automatically by STM32CubeMX constraint solver (user action on the peripheral tree, such as the selection of a peripheral mode, does not move the signals). This ensures that the user configuration remains compatible with the board.

4.2.3Example selector

 

The Example selector allows the user to browse a large set of examples and to start a new

 

project from a selected example.

Note:

An example is always for a specific board and consequently for the MCU available with that

 

board.

 

Thanks to the filter panel it is possible to filter down the example list for a specific board

 

type, series, peripheral or middleware as well as other characteristics (see Figure 32).

Selecting an example and clicking "Start project" allows STM32CubeMX to copy the example as a new project (the user can change the default location at this stage).

Warning: For some examples the "Start Project" button is shown with an "Under Development" warning icon. Projects created from these examples may be not functional (they do not compile). Fixes are in development.

Several options are available to open the newly created project (see Figure 33):

with STM32CubeMX (available only for examples listed with a CubeMX version set)

with a File explorer

with one of the supported toolchains (provided the toolchain is already installed on your computer)
