ST Cube firmware packages, contributions and bug fixes

Hi,

This is a question to the folks @ ST, or to whomever release the Cube packages.

(Maybe someone involved in that process, be the best to answer)

Are contributions, or fixes to the packages welcome by ST for the packages ?

If contributions are accepted, how would ST like to receive the contributions ?

(I mean the process, the format etc etc and so on)

Is there a formal defined procedure, documented someplace on the same topic ?

Thanks,

Manu

    Hello @Manu Abraham​,

    Thank you for your interest and involvement. Your proposals of bug fixes or enhancements are the welcome. As pointed out by @Imen DAHMEN​ you can submit them through our STMicroelectronics organization on GitHub. You have the choice to submit them in the form of:

    • An issue (this is the term used for bug trackers) which is a textual description. You can use markdown language to highlight important aspects of your description.
    • A pull-request which is a change in some file(s) you push for review and approval. This one can be easily displayed as a "diff".

    Please note that:

    • Before being able to submit pull-requests, you should first sign a CLA (Contributor License Agreement). Here is the link.
    • The issues and pull-requests shall be related to the software you will find published in the STMicroelectronics organization (e.g. HAL-LL, CMSIS, BSP, MW, etc.). Topics such as documentation, hardware, and ecosystem shall be submitted here to the Community.

    A useful tip that might help you browse through the different repositories you will find in the organization. On top of the page, you can find pinned repositories: the "overall offer" repositories.

    Each one of them is the entry point to a certain topic (MCU, MPU, Android for MPU, and Mems).

    For instance, the MCU Overall Offer repository provides links to the different repositories related to STM32 MCU (FW, HAL-LL, CMSIS, and MW).

    I hope this answers your question. Do not hesitate if you have others. We are looking forward to receiving your bug fix proposal.

    With regards,

    Hello @Imen DAHMEN​ 

    Greetings.

    Thanks for the response.

    If I have a bugfix, how should I send it ? (A simple diff ?)

    I guess the contributor needs to comply to the licensing the

    same as to the source files ?

    How would you verify the developer of the patch, to avoid

    unnecessary issues and problems at a later stage ?

    It would be wonderful to have this piece of information formally

    documented, so that you can just point it to people querying.

    It would make life a lot easier for you as well.

    Thanks,

    Manu
