4.2.4Cross selector

Part number selection

The Cross selector allows users to find the products that best replace the MCU or MPU they are currently using (from ST or other silicon vendors).

To access this functionality, STM32CubeMX data must be up to date. This is ensured using Refresh Data from the Help menu (see Figure 34).

Clicking “ACCESS TO CROSS SELECTOR” under the “Start my project from Cross Selector” section of the main page opens the New Project window on the Cross selector tab.

Two drop downs menus allow the user to select the vendor and the part number of the product to be compared to (see Figure 35). A part number can also be entered partially: STM32CubeMX proposes a list of matching products (see Figure 36).

Compare cart

Once a part number is selected, a list of matching ST part number candidates is displayed along with their matching ratio in the Matching ST candidates panel.

By default, the three closest matches are selected and added to the compare cart along with the part number to be compared to (see Figure 37).

Figure 37. Cross selector - Compare cart

This selection can be changed anytime in the Matching ST candidates panel.

The comparison can be customized: the features to be used for comparison can be unselected when considered as irrelevant and their level of importance can be adjusted. These choices affect the computed matching ratio.

The comparison is disabled for features that are not supported on the part number to be compared with, or when the feature information is unavailable.
