STM32CubeMX API documentation

[joergk]

Hi,

I'm new to STM32 tools.

If I add a new component in STM32CubeMX, where can I find the documentation to the added sonftware modules?

E.g. if I add DMA2D from the left pane software is added to the project.

How do I know what this software offers and how to use it.

All I get are references to the controller datasheet and reference manual on mouseover.

Greets,

Joerg

Hello @joergk, 

You can find Documentation or user manual in the Help menu in STM32CubeMX, but most importantly, when you generate the code, for DMA2D for example, you will find in your main.c MX_DMA2D_Init(); where you can find the configuration you did using cubeMX.

Check:

* Introduction to STM32CubeMX

* How to build a “Blink LED” project from STM32CubeMX for ST/Atollic TrueSTUDIO® for STM32™ (youtube.com)

See also the HAL documentation for the particular STM32 family - it will be linked from the Product Page for the family

"it will be linked from the Product Page for the family"

Where? On the website? Can not find it there.

Now we know the family ...

Go to the 'Tools and Software' tab, click 'MCU and MPU embedded software':

You want the STM32CubeH7 pack:

The User Manual is on the software page, 'Documentation' tab:

https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32cubeh7.html#documentation

 

Don't know why that isn't directly linked from CubeMX - @STTwo-32 ?

Hi @Andrew Neil 

I will escalate this suggestion to the STM32CubeMX team to consider it on the Future. Thank you.

Best Regards.
