STM32 Cube-MX  is the successor of the  MicroXplorer tool.
It is a graphical tool that allows configuring STM32 microcontrollers very easily and generating the corresponding initialization C code through a step-by-step process.

STM32 Cube embeds a comprehensive software platform, delivered per series (as STM32Cube_Library_F7/F4/F3/F2/F1/L4/L1/L0), see here.
Also are available a special CUBE libraries for a particular application (BT, LPUART, etc).
The complete list of special Cube libraries are here.

This platform includes the STM32Cube HAL an STM32 abstraction layer embedded software, ensuring maximized portability across STM32 portfolio, plus a consistent set of middleware components (RTOS, USB, FS, TCP/IP,  Graphics, etc).
All embedded software utilities come with a full set of examples.

INTRODUCTION


STM32 Cube embeds a comprehensive software platform, delivered per series (as STM32Cube_Library_F7/F4/F3/F2/F1/L4/L1/L0), see here.
Also are available a special CUBE libraries for a particular application (BTLE, LPUART, etc).
The complete list of special Cube libraries are here.

This platform includes the STM32Cube HAL an STM32 abstraction layer embedded software, ensuring maximized portability across STM32 portfolio, plus a consistent set of middleware components (RTOS, USB, FS, TCP/IP,  Graphics, etc).
All embedded software utilities come with a full set of examples.

STM32 Cube-MX is a graphical tool that allows configuring STM32 microcontrollers very easily and generating the corresponding initialization C code through a step-by-step process.

Step one consists in selecting the STM32 microcontroller that matches the required set of peripherals.
The user must then configure each required embedded software thanks to a pinout-conflict solver, a clock-tree setting helper, a power-consumption calculator, and an utility performing MCU peripheral configuration (GPIO, USART, ..) and middleware stacks (USB, TCP/IP, ...).

Finally, the user launches the generation of the initialization C code based on the selected configuration.
This code is ready to be used within several development environments.
The user code is kept at the next code generation.











In conclusion:
  • Fisrt: install the STM32CubeMX (graphical tool that allows configuring STM32 microcontrollers) and read this manual.
  • Second: install the appropriate CUBE Library for your STM32xxx (SW example and driver for TCP/IP, USB, FS, etc)
  • Also are available a special CUBE libraries for a particular application (BT, LPUART, etc). The complete list of special Cube libraries are here.
