CubeMX code generation from command line

[dvescovi]

I would like to automate code generation of my .ioc file using CubeMX from command line or PowerShell.

AI says its possible with the -q (quiet mode) option but it does not seem to work.

Hello @dvescovi 

Yes, as stated in UM1718 "3.3.2 Running STM32CubeMX in command-line mode" you can run STM32CubeMX in command-line mode without UI:

– On Windows:
cd <STM32CubeMX installation path>
jre\bin\java -jar STM32CubeMX.exe –q <script filename>
– On Linux and macOS:
./STM32CubeMX –q <script filename

What version are you using?

Please show the command you actually used, and the results you got.

 

How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution

[dvescovi]

can you show me what a powershell script would look like if I have CubeMX installed at:

C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeMX

and my .ioc at:

C:\GitHub\STM32\debug\tester\test.ioc

I tried:

# Path to CubeMX executable
$CubeMX = "C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeMX\STM32CubeMX.exe"

# Path to your .ioc project file
$Project = "C:\GitHub\STM32\debug\tester\test.ioc"

# Run CubeMX in quiet mode (-q) to generate code without opening the GUI
Start-Process -FilePath $CubeMX -ArgumentList "-q `"$Project`"" -Wait

but I know that is wrong ...

Show me formatted correctly

So, again, what response do you get when you run that command?

Did you try what @Souhaib MAZHOUD already showed you:

If that doesn't work for you, show what result you get.

[dvescovi]

I suggest you actually try it before offering it as a solution.

Here is what I get:

Dumps a lot of *** ... opens the CubeMX IDE ... which I do not want ... does nothing no code generated!

 

[dvescovi]

replies does not allow me to attach file

 

[dvescovi]

.ioc attached
