buttons allow opening the configuration options for the given component (Mode and Configuration panels). The button icon color reflects the status of the configuration status.

A Software Packs menu with two sub-menus:

Select Components to select, for the current project, software components not available by default. This selection updates the Pinout & Configuration view accordingly

Manage Software Packs to install/uninstall software packs.

An Additional Software function that allows to select, for the current project, software components that are not available by default. Selecting an additional software component updates the Pinout & Configuration view accordingly.

A Pinout menu that allows the user to perform pinout related actions such as clear pinout configuration or export pinout configuration as csv file.

Tips

You can resize the different panels at will: hovering the mouse over a panel border displays a two-ended arrow: right-click and pull in a direction to either extend or reduce the panel.

You can show/hide the Configuration, Mode, Pinout and System views using the open and close arrows.

peripheral, clicking Datasheet or Reference manual opens the corresponding document, stored in STM32CubeMX repository folder, at the relevant chapter. Since microcontrollers datasheets and reference manuals are downloaded to STM32CubeMX repository only upon user request, a functional Internet connection is required:

To check your Internet connection, open the Connection tab from the Help > Updater Settings menu.

To request the download of reference documentation for the currently selected microcontroller, click Refresh from the Help > Refresh Data menu window.
