Windows users can either use their preferred package manager, or download the latest toolchain manually from official ARM site - MacOS and Linux versions are available there too, in case you don’t have one in repositories.

VSCODE BINARY EDITOR INSTALL

Linux users should have latest version in the repositories - make sure you also install arm-none-eabi-newlib and arm-none-eabi-binutils if these are separate packages.

ARM-GCC toolchain ( arm-none-eabi-gcc to be specific, along with all the other GCC tools, and GDB).

I’ll put a quick info about it at the end of this guide, as a bonus. PSA for HAL-haters: you don’t have to use HAL even if you generate the code using CubeMX - read about LL libraries, you can use them too, and they are as close to the metal as it’s sanely possible.

STM32CubeMX - STM32 MCU helper and code generator, simplifies the project generation and MCU initialization to maximum - downloadable for free from official ST site here.

Free ST account is required to download it.įrom software side, these tools are required:

If you’re using ST-Link, update it’s firmware before proceeding. Also, you’ll need an USB cable to connect the board to your PC. The exact choice of MCU and debugger doesn’t matter, as this setup will work with any STM32 MCU and every debugger supported by OpenOCD. For this guide, i’m using Nucleo-G474RE, with STM32G474RET6 microcontroller, and STLink v3 onboard. I’ve used it in the past, but after trying it again and comparing with setup made using this guide i found out it doesn’t offer better experience in the long runįrom hardware side, you need to have an STM32 board, and a debugger that’s compatible with it.

However, it uses default IntelliSense engine, and as i prefer clangd and knowing how to configure the project from scratch (so when something goes wrong, i know how to fix it), i still created this guide. It should do most of the work described there automatically. If you are very lazy, you can use stm32-for-vscode plugin instead of this guide. I also made sure that it should work on both Windows and Linux (and probably MacOS). Most of the config i’ve taken from two great videos by Embedded Geek (first one is here, second one - here), but i’ve changed some things since i’m not using the exact same VSCode config as he does (which, actually, makes things easier and less painful to configure for me). So, after few hours of tinkering and lurking around for guides and plugins, i’ve found my setup. The second choice would be CLion, which has pretty decent CubeMX project support out-of-the-box, but it is sometimes a little bit buggy with debugging the projects… or at least it was few months ago, when i tried it. So, i’ve decided to try something new and the first obvious choice was Visual Studio Code. It also lacks some features that i’m used to having in more… “civilized” IDE’s (dark theme which is not hurting the eyes with contrast by default? better Git integration? and probably lots of other, smaller thingies). However, it also suffers from pretty feelable bloat, caused by the fact that it’s heavily modified Eclipse IDE with lots of plugins that pile up pretty quickly. CubeIDE has lots of useful features available out-of-the-box. Up until now, i’ve used STM32CubeIDE with STM32CubeMX as my primary development tools for STM32 microcontrollers.
