CubeMx V6.6.1 - Windows 11: Issues with toolchain location folder and Makefile toolchain

[paulojfonseca]

Hi,

In CubeMx V6.6.1 - Windows 11 i am having the 2 following issues.

1. In Project Management if i select Makefile as the Toolchain / IDE then i cannot access the toolchain location folder to make it a new location, the input box is not enabled.
2. To work around the point above i do the following steps:

• choose first EWARM as Toolchain / IDE
• update the Toolchain location folder
• choose Makefile as Toolchain / IDE
• Generate the code

Until this point all goes ok and the toolchain files are correctly generated in the toolchain folder.

But if i close CubeMx project and reopen it again the toolchain location is lost.

I looked inside the project.ioc file and it is correctly stored there.

It seems like this might be a bug.

Thanks

Paulo

Hello @paulojfonseca​ 

First let me thank you for posting.

I tried to reproduce the same behavior you encountered but it works fine from my side.

Please take a look

I choose the Makefile as a Toolchain /IDE

Then i changed the Project Location

Finally, i generated the code

Thx

Hi Ghofrane,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can you now close CubeMx and reopen the project again?

This way you will reproduce the issues i mentioned.

Thanks

Hi Ghofrane,

Looks like was not clear in the steps for reproduction.

Let me try and do it again with images:

1 Open CubeMx and create a new project (used Nucleo Board, but also experienced the same with MCU selection)

2 Go to project management and choose: Project Name, Project Folder, Toolchain Folder and Makefile Toolchain IDE

3 Generate Code (until here all goes ok according the instructions)

4 Close CubeMx

5 Reopen CubeMx with the previously created project.

6 Go to Project Management. Now you can experience the problems i am facing.

Bug 1 - The previously Toolchain folder is gone.

Bug 2 - I cannot re-type it again because the text box is not enabled.

Bug 1 i cannot overcome.

Bug 2 i can if i select Toolchain EWARM, change the toolchain folder, select Makefile again

Hope that you can now reproduce it.

Thanks

Paulo
