STM32Cube helps porting of code from one STM32 MCU to another

Embedded software developers can now use STMicroelectronics’ STM32Cube software development platform for porting code related to STM32 microcontrollers. STM32Cube simplifies porting of code from one STM32 series to another. The development platform is available for all devices in volume production, from the ultra-low-power to the very-high-performance series. The platform comprises the STM32CubeMX graphical configurator and initialization C-code generator, which provides wizards that help configure the pin-out, clock-tree, and peripherals, and meet constraints on power consumption. After configuration, the tool generates C initialization code that matches the user’s choices. In addition, it can also automatically download the corresponding embedded software. This delivers a high-value service for developers by saving time normally spent configuring the microcontroller and overcoming resource conflicts. Unlike some competing tools, STM32CubeMX is not dedicated to a proprietary development environment and instead allows developers to create code for independent IDEs such as ARM/Keil MDK-ARM, IAR EWARM or GCC-based IDEs. STM32Cube also provides embedded software packages for individual STM32 series. The latest package for STM32F1 devices has recently been added, and any future STM32 families, including the STM32 F7 series that goes into production later this year, will be...
