![]() StmCubeMx and the stm32 series packages are two different things. Once StmCubeMx is installed you now have to install the packages for each stm32 series or for series that you want to work with. Installing the StmCubeMx is also straight froward. I am using mdk5 for my projects and this tutorial is also based on mdk5 and keil uvision-5 ide. Arm mdk is available in many editions latest is mdk5. Just download the file from the link and install the ide. Download the MDK ARM kit it contains the keil Ide in it you don’t need the ide to install it separately. Installing Keil Ide is pretty straight forward. You can directly generate the keil ide project with stmCubeMx by slecting the option from stmCubeMx to translate the configuration in to keil ide project. You make your stm32 microcontroller configuration in it and then generate code for the configuration you done to be used with any other ide. Note: Stm32CubeMx is not an Ide its a configuration manager. I prefer to work with stmCube because it is provided by officially STMicroelectronics and its good to work with the stuff provided by the owner. After the visual configuration you can generate code for the configuration you made. Its a visual platform where you can make the microcontroller pins input, output, enable pull-ups and pull-down can define the operating frequency of microcontroller visually and lot more. ![]() By using stm32cube you don’t need to write configuration code for your stm32 microcontroller. Stm32CubeMx is a microcontroller peripheral configurater. Its very easy to work with microC ide, it has plenty of example and libraries you only need to call the functions and its all done. If you don’t want to go in depths and want a piece of cake then go with MikroElectronica microC for Arm. Keil gives you in depth knowledge of the microcontroller and its interface. I decide to go with keil and stm32CubeMx. Some Ide’s are Coocox, keil, mBed, Attolic, microC for Arm. Their are many IDE’s(Integrated development environments) that supports stm32 series and you can use any one of them to program your stm32 microcontroller. I will present a working example of easy protocol/interface/function with source code and circuit diagram. In this whole series i will discuss all the protocols/functions stm32 microcontrolles offered. So i decided to make series of tutorials on getting started with stm32 microcontrollers. I found much information on getting started but non of it is well organized. Stm32 microcontrollers are built around Cortex-M7 , Cortex-M4F , Cortex-M3 , Cortex-M0+, and Cortex-M0 processors.Īfter decided to go with stm32, i started to took initial tutorials on how to get started with stm32. Stm32 is a family of 32-bit microcontrollers offered by STMicroelectronics. After so much googling i finally took decision to move forward with stm32 microcontrollers. The reason behind choosing the arm cortex-m3 series is cortex-m3 processors are especially made for connected embedded applications, and the microcontrollers built with this series are used in many mid level of embedded projects/applications/products. I choose arm cortex-m3 processor series for my new hobby/learning projects. I decided to go with arm 32-bit processors, because of their popularity in the market. ![]() ![]() After working a lot with 8-bit microcontrollers and learning all the protocols and functions they offer, now i thought to switch to 32-bit microcontrollers.
