System Workbench for STM32

Hello AC6 team,

I have a few questions before moving from V1.14 to V2.0

1-If I understand we can't install 2.0 by "Check for Updates"
but we need to install it from scratch after removing the previous AC6 folder.

2-On the "Downloading the System Workbench for STM32 installer" page, and chapter Windows 7, there are 2 links to the "install_sw4stm32_win_64bits-v2.0.exe"
and another to "install_sw4stm32_win_64bits-latest.exe" so what are the difference

3-I have a "TFS" Eclipse plug-in so after installing v2.0 is there a way to recover it with its parameters or do I have to reinstall

4-What about the existing projects, will we have to reimport them.

Thank you and best regards

hi Guy,

Yes you can update your SW4STM32 with check for update mechanism.
You need to change to ulr for the software sites:
Help => Install New Software
Click on "Available Soft Sites"
then select the line named "System Workbench for STM32 - Updates" and change the location with : "http://www.ac6-tools.com/Eclipse-updates/org.openstm32.system-workbench.update-site-v2"
and do a "check for update"

Or download the AllinOne installer 2.0.

hope that helps
chris

EDIT
CHECK YOU HAVE MINiMUM MARS 2 and CDT 8.8.1, and java 1.8
/EDIT

Hello Christelle,

OK, I have Eclipse Luna and Eclipse CDT 8.6 so can't use the "Check for Updates", I confirm that I had the alert window which drove me to the Downloading page.

Hi Guy !

1. yes
2. no difference
3. you have to reinstall it, I don't know this plugins, but you have to copy the url (if you have it in Available software site) or find it in the market place.
I recommand to save a copy of your folder Ac6\SystemWorkbench (eclipse.exe will be work again)
4. you can :
either open your old workspace (to know the path of your workpace File > Switch worspace > Other ... here is the path)
or import the projects

Let me know if it's ok for you
Christelle

Hi Guy,

To precise a bit Christelle's answer, there is no difference between the two versions of the installer; the 'latest' version is just a link on the current latest version, so you can save this download link and download the latest version in the future, even if an update has been published (to install on another machine for example).

Of course, once installed, and except if a compatibility break occurs, you can just do a "Check for Updates...".

In fact, when the major version number changes, we may need a newer version of Eclipse and thus stop supporting older versions, thus perhaps needing a full reinstall, like for 2.0 if you have an old install still based on Luna that is no more supported. New major releases are thus a good occasion to reinstall from scratch using the "latest" installer.

Hello AC6 Team

During the V2.0 installation at the moment of the ST Link driver installation I got "You have to run the 64-bit version of the DPInst.exe" message
but that did not stop installation.

I recovered quicky the previous projects configuration
Compilation and debugging are working fine

Thank you very much
