Feature Request: Nucleo Pin Overlay

[a_user]

I am using a STM32 part on a Nucleo dev board. When I am looking and the main page in CubeMX I get an overview of the processor and its pins but I do not have a handy mapping to know which Nucleo pins are connected to which processors pins.
Could we have an optional overlay to the existing diagram to show which Nucleo pins are connected to which processor pins. This would save me some time trying to track this down through the schematics.

Many Thanks

Hello,

This information is provided by the user manual and the schematics of the given board not in CubeMx.

But it's a Feature Request - that the pin assignments should be shown in CubeMX.

The trouble I find with the information provided by the user manual and the schematics is that it's not in any machine-readable format. Therefore transferring it from the ST documents to any user documents (or, indeed to tools like CubeMX) needs manual transcription - which is laborious and error-prone.

The same applies to the datasheet pinout definitions for the chip itself.

That, and any given PCB can support half a dozen parts, with lots of solder bridges accommodating those parts and how it maps to the headers, etc.

Sort of thing where some tables and automation would help a lot, but obviously a monster of a task to build and maintain the lists properly and track PCB / BoM revisions

Andrew, thank-you for the clarification. Yes, this is a feature request.

I understand this is a laborious process which I also keep finding myself having to repeat and double check myself. My suggestion is that if this is done once then many users will benefit. I think being integrated into CubeMX is a convenient place to have this information presented and preferable to PDF files.

Hello @a_user and @Andrew Neil ,

I will escalate the proposal and get back to you for any feedback: go or no go.
