Cannot create a STM32 project - in targeted project selector STM32 project is not available

[DocAlex]

Hello,

I am currently working with STM32 Cube IDE

Version: 1.18.1

Build: 24813_20250409_2138 (UTC)

 

When I try to create a new project I select the processor and click next. Then the setup dialog appears (as usual).

But in the targeted device selection the STM32Cube IDE project is not selectable:

 

 

Consequently I get no .ioc file after creating the project.

 

Things I already tried:

1. Restart IDE

2. Update

• Help > Manage Embedded Software Packages

• Under STM32Cube MCU Packages, install the firmware for your MCU series (e.g., STM32F4).

3. restart IDE with -clean option

In a bash I used

STM32CubeIDE -clean

 

Nothing helped. What can I do?

 

regards

Alexander

Hello @DocAlex 

I recommend you to use the latest version of STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 ,it works correctly .

if you want to keep using 1.18.1 ,please try to:

-Close STM32CubeIDE

-Delete all those files from your PC: .stm32cufinder, .stm32cubemx, .stm32cubeide and .stm32cube 

 

then restart the STM32CubeIDE and retest again.

After installing the version 1.19 everything was fine. Now I am stuck at exactly the same point: I cannot select an STM32 project.

 

This is really annoying.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the link. I will try this as I had exact same problem with 1.18 and then 1.19 solved it but today's update broke it again.

I will follow the guide and I hope it will resolve the problem on 1.19.

Cheers.
