How to find documentation of Target MCU within STM32CubeIDE application

[AdilMC]

Kiel uvision has this feature where they show the pdf of relevant documentations when you select board and chip while creating a project. Does stm32cubeide have a similar feature somewhere so i can look for the stm i am using.

also i found it hard to find the same pdf on google for some reason, like i had to type specific phrases from the document in order to find it

above is photo with pdfs on the right

Hello @AdilMC and welcome to the ST Community.

For the Documents that are related to the tool (STM32CubeMX,IDE,...) they are all available only on the webpage of the Product on the ST website. For the documents of the product that you are using, they are all available throw the standalone version of CubeMX:

Best Regards.

You can place PDF files into the project folder, and the CubeIDE Project Explorer will show them, and double-clicking will open them in your default PDF viewer

 

PS:

It seems that double-clicking a PDF in the Project Explorer will both open it in your default PDF viewer and open it as a tab within the IDE!

Closing the IDE tab also closes the document in the default viewer;

Closing the document in the default viewer does not close the IDE tab.

Finding the MCU documentation is very easy with CubeMX. (less so with CubeIDE).

In CubeMX just select Help-> Docs and resources. Then select MCU tab. And here you are, all the PDFs for the MCU selected in the CubeMX (.ioc). On the board tab: all documents for the board (if available).
