did you (or anyone else) have a solution for this?

I have just started using SW4STM and have no problem loading and modifying example projects from the cube expansion packages but am really struggling to build a project from scratch with them.

I though maybe I needed to use cubemx as a starting point but I cannot find any way of adding the expansion packages to that either.

After groping in the dark for a while, here’s what I found:

I started by downloading the files for the project I wanted to work on from the ST site. This had files for several processors/boards in it.
In Eclipse, create an empty project.
Import the file system into the project. (This is the root of the files I downloaded, IIRC)
Locate the appropriate project for your board/processor. (Example: sw4stm/l053 version)
Right click on it. This gave the option “Import as Project” which I selected.
This created a new project in Eclipse.
In Project Settings, I had to be sure and point to the correct compiler location (may not be requred now) and had to fix the paths to the Include files. I used absolute file names to files in the workspace area that was just created.
Doing this resulted in a clean compile, but I couldn’t get things to run as I expected them to. This may be due to my lack of experience with this tool set.

Caveat: I have not gotten back to this since mid-April. Maybe this will be of some use to you. It’s frustrating that ST does not see fit to support this excellent platform!

Hello Doctek,

May I suggest the following steps assuming :

• I downloaded the STM32CubeL0 Firware Package;
• I am using the STM32L053R8-Nucleo and using the GPIO_IOToggle project In C:...\STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.5.0\Projects\STM32L053R8-Nucleo\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle folder;

Then :

• I launch SW4STM32 and select my workspace = C:...\STM32Cube_FW_L0_V1.5.0\Projects\STM32L053R8-Nucleo\Examples\GPIO\GPIO_IOToggle\SW4STM32;
• I right-click in the project explorer >> Import >> General >> Existing Projects into Workspace >> Browse >> Select STM32L053R8_NUCLEO folder >> Finish;
• I launch compilation (no need to add extra settings) : Build finished successfully;
