Using STM32CubeMX to generate the initialization C code

Another alternative to steps 1 to 6 in
in using the STM32CubeMX tool to easily generate code for the initialization of the system,
the peripherals and middleware (steps 1 to 6 above) through a step-by-step process:
1. Selection of the STMicroelectronics STM32 microcontroller that matches the required
set of peripherals.
2. Configuration of each required embedded software using a pinout-conflict solver, a
clock-tree setting helper, a power consumption calculator, and the utility performing
MCU peripheral configuration (for example GPIO and USART) and middleware stacks
(for example USB, TCP/IP).
3. Generation of the initialization C code based on the configuration selected. This code is
ready to be used within several development environments. The user code is kept at
the next code generation.
For more information, please refer to the section STM32CubeMX for STM32 configuration
and initialization C code generation in the STM32CubeMX user guide user (UM1718).

Accessing STM32CubeF2 release updates

The STM32CubeF2 firmware package comes with an updater utility; the
STM32CubeUpdater, also available as a menu within STM32CubeMX code generation tool.
The updater solution detects new firmware releases and patches available from
and offers to download these on the user's computer.
4.4.1

Installing and running the STM32CubeUpdater program


Double-click SetupSTM32CubeUpdater.exe file to launch the installation.

Accept the license terms and follow the different installation steps.
Upon successful installation, STM32CubeUpdater becomes available as an
STMicroelectronics program under Program Files and is automatically launched. The
STM32CubeUpdater icon is displayed in the system tray:

Right-click the updater icon and select Updater Settings to configure the Updater
connection and whether to perform manual or automatic checks (see Section 3 in
STM32CubeMX user guide (UM1718) for more details on the updater configuration).

process, then the SysTick interrupt must have higher priority (numerically lower)
than the peripheral interrupt. Otherwise the caller ISR process is blocked.
