Forum: System Workbench for STM32

Unable to install Cube HAL in firmware configuration.

Summary:


1) Removed all ST related software and all Eclipse versions except 2019-12.

2) Downloaded ST Workbench directly and did not install it as a plugin. It is in /Applications/Ac6.

3) Eclipse works and I installed STM software as directed in Eclipse.

4) When I make a new project, the firmware never downloads. I waited over three hours. Procedure:


a) Create a new C or C++ project

b) Click C Managed Build template

c) Under C Project, give it the name “03.blink” and choose Ac6 STM32 MCU project with toolchain Ac6 STM32 MCU GCC

d) Under Select Configurations, I uncheck “Release” and leave “Debug” checked.

e) Under Target Configuration, I choose board NUCLEO-F030R8

f) Under Firmware Configuration, I choose Hardware Abstraction Layer (Cube HAL).

i) I click Firmware Installation

ii) On the next page, there is only one repository: /Users/tom/.ac6/SW4STM32/firmwares. This is likely wrong. I need the link that should be used.


I also notice that when I just go to Cube HAL and click Download Target Firmware, it initiates a download. This is very slow. It shows a 256 MB limit. The counter slowly increases but never gets to 256 MB. Then it changes to a lower number. I guess it’s opening several connections. None ever finish.
