STM32CubeCLT has no MAC(Apple silicon) version?

[Peter3718]

Hi

MAC BOOK PRO is using apple silicon(arm), i downloaded STM32CubeCLT-mac, but it seems installation is not sucessful, maybe it because it's x86/amd64 version.

Do ST have plan to release STM32CubeCLT apple silicon version? 

Thanks

Peter

@Peter3718, Yes we plan to have STM32CubeCLT for Apple silicon. I can't communicate any fixed date though.

In the meantime the current CLT version for MacOS should work if you have Rosetta installed.

@Julien D 

you remind me of Rosetta. Yes, the installation is successful now in /opt/clt directory.  I need to setup a project to test.

Thanks

Peter

I'm wondering then what can we use for STM32 development on macOS apple silicon?

@47_it 

Currently, Rosetta operates effectively. Only a few debug assets do not support the Arm® architecture. Toolchains and most utilities already support it.

The next update of the STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code extensions, scheduled for release in a few weeks, will provide native support for the Arm® architecture on macOS for all related processes.

@Peter3718, that's being said as pointed by Vincent be aware of Mattias' reply on the other post.

1. Consider the STM32CubeCLT as a legacy solution which will be stopped at some point
2. Current version of STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code do not rely at all on this product, it uses the bundles system to get any required underlying tool like cmake, ninja, toolchains, debug gdb-servers, etc...

@Julien D I also noticed with the new 3.x.x plugin the tooling bundles are also not compiled for Apple Silicon. CMake throws a CPU error if rosetta is not installed. Is this also going to be fixed in the future?

Yes, no choices. Rosetta will be discontinued sooner or later.

The amount of native aarm64 bundles will grow during this transition period.
