Hi,

I have installed MC SDK 6.2.0. This is the first time looking at the new version of MC SDK. I have extensive experience with custom commercial solutions using 5.4.x-FUL versions.

I would like to create a custom solution, but when I select "New Project" I only see options for creating projects with pre-defined eval boards.

Can you direct me to documentation for creating projects based on custom hardware?

Thanks,

Matt

Thank you for your interest in MCSDK 6.2. To create a custom board, you can use the Boards Manager. To launch it, open the Workbench then Tools -> Boards manager. The documentation for the use of this tool is still being validated and should arrive very soon. You can take inspiration from the descriptions of other boards in the meantime.
Best regards

Thank you very much.

Are there any plans to make it interactive, like the previous version?

Hello, are there plans to support the STEVAL-ESC001V1 board soon. If so, do you know when? I also would be interested in any additional information around creating custom boards using the boards manager.

Can't move to 6.2 yet because I cant adjust the current sensing feedback gain as per my custom board.
Still with 5.Y.2 <3 , Can't download the same for my new pc (option is removed I guess).

Hello @Muthanna,

If you started from a ST board, then just clone your board in the Board manager tool and change the gain parameters.

Regards,

Cedric

Thank you Cedric, The Board Manager was a bit confusing at first, figured it out. Going to make the transition from 5.Y.2 to 6.2.1 

Fingers Crossed,
