Downloading STM32CubeIDE
In this article, we’ll delve into the process of installing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for streamlined coding and development. An IDE bundles all the essential tools required for code development, compilation, linking, and debugging. We will focus on the Eclipse-based STM32CubeIDE, tailored for STM32 ARM-based microcontrollers, developed by ST Microelectronics.
Installing an Integrated Development Environment(IDE)
- IDE is a software that contains all the essential tools to develop, compile, link, and debug your code.
- In some cases, you may have to integrate compiler and debugger tools to the IDE manually.
- Throughout this course we will be using Eclipse-based STM32CubeIDE which is developed by ST Microelectronics to write, compile, debug applications on STM32 ARM-based microcontrollers.
- STM32CubeIDE is an eclipse IDE with STM32 related customization.
