STM32CubeIDE release note

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines, STM32MP21x lines, STM32MP23x lines, STM32MP25x lines

1. STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 - MPU support[edit | edit source]

1.1. Supported features[edit | edit source]

Same feature than #STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 - MPU support

1.2. Main changes[edit | edit source]

STM32CubeIDE is now independent from STM32CubeMX.

With this release, device configuration, previously handled within STM32CubeIDE via STM32CubeMX, is now exclusively available through the stand-alone STM32CubeMX tool.

Users must configure microcontroller peripherals and generate initialization code separately in STM32CubeMX, then import the generated projects into STM32CubeIDE for coding and debugging.

STM32CubeIDE, is now a stand-alone tool, offers the possibility to create empty project through its own processor and board selectors now present inside.

What does this change mean for developers?
- Separate download and installation: STM32CubeMX is no more integrated in STM32CubeIDE, requiring separate download alongside STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 for configuration and code generation.
- Tool update flexibility: Developers can update and freeze STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE independently, with multiple versions of each installed side-by-side.
- Memory footprint and performance: Removing STM32CubeMX integration reduces installation size (~3.7GB to 2.9GB) and lowers CPU/RAM usage, improving stability especially on Linux.

- STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 - interoperability instead of integration
- STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 released - STMicroelectronics Community

User authentication removed
ST-MCU-FINDER-PC removed
Support for ST-ARM-CLANG, STMicroelectronics LLVM-based toolchain for Arm®, through site update mechanism
