What is STM32Cube?

STM32Cube is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to significantly improve designer's productivity by reducing

development effort, time, and cost. STM32Cube covers the whole STM32 portfolio.

STM32Cube includes:

•

A set of user-friendly software development tools to cover project development from conception to

realization, among which are:

–

STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the automatic generation of C

initialization code using graphical wizards

–

STM32CubeIDE, an all-in-one development tool with peripheral configuration, code generation, code

compilation, and debug features

–

STM32CubeProgrammer (STM32CubeProg), a programming tool available in graphical and command-

line versions

–

STM32CubeMonitor (STM32CubeMonitor, STM32CubeMonPwr, STM32CubeMonRF,

STM32CubeMonUCPD) powerful monitoring tools to fine-tune the behavior and performance of STM32

applications in real-time

•

STM32Cube MCU and MPU Packages, comprehensive embedded-software platforms specific to each

microcontroller and microprocessor series (such as STM32CubeF4 for the STM32F4 Series), which include:

–

STM32Cube hardware abstraction layer (HAL), ensuring maximized portability across the STM32

portfolio

–

STM32Cube low-layer APIs, ensuring the best performance and footprints with a high degree of user

control over hardware

–

A consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, TCP/IP, and Graphics

–

All embedded software utilities with full sets of peripheral and applicative examples

•

STM32Cube Expansion Packages, which contain embedded software components that complement the

functionalities of the STM32Cube MCU and MPU Packages with:

–

Middleware extensions and applicative layers

–

Examples running on some specific STMicroelectronics development boards
