Thanks for your feedback,

The CMSIS pack can be downloaded from arm website and then imported locally in CubeMX, please refer to the picture below,

I´m also searching for this, how can STM leave out the option to include something as basic as DSP?!

CMSIS 5.9.0. has a very different file structure and also in their GitHub they say there are no compiled binaries, meaning we have to compile it ourselves, okay, but then in GitHub/ARM-software/CMSIS_5 this has to be compiled with doxygen which I´ve never used, so a new learning task I don't need for each library!

I mean come on STM, do you really want thousands of developers wasting time having to go through the same compile process for this and other libraries?

hello @Robmar​ ,

I did it following this tuto community.st.com/s/article/configuring-dsp-libraries-on-stm32cubeide

And as mentioned on step 2. Including the DSP libraries and header files :

"Copy <STM32Cube_Repository>\STM32Cube_FW_F4_V.X.XX.X\Drivers\CMSIS\DSP\Include and paste in in the created folder"

hope this will help you.

Ok in 1.7.0 i can make two clicks and all is setup in IDE.

Version placed in project is arm_math.h

* @version V1.6.0
 * @date 18. March 2019

but, in fw folder STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.26.2 same file

* @version V1.5.3
 * @date 10. January 2018

as you can see MX dont place DSP from fw , but newer.

??? ofcourse too lib files is very different = very unclean

Hello @MM..1​,

I'm curious how you add it in the IDE in two (maybe more) clicks ?

Because on my side I have followed instructions of the link in my previous message and it's quite a pain to do.

I'm on CubeIDE 1.10 as Robmar

PS: the most recent version of your arm_math.h is the same as in the F4 1.27.1 fw version, so maybe you have already download it too.

thank you,

On the latest STM32CubeIDE there is no left-side listing for Software Packs, I can't see any option anywhere to select CMSIS DSP packages.

Hi Sara, could you open the link you posted, on the Arm site, maybe I missed it but I can't see any entry for CMSIS or STM.

Would it be possible to get direct support for our commercial project?

Hello @Robmar​,@Sara BEN HADJ YAHYA​ ,@MM..1​ 

First, thank you @Sara BEN HADJ YAHYA​ for your help!

You can find the package at this url https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/embedded/cmsis/cmsis-packs

you can download it from ARM -> CMSIS0693W00000WKYh2QAH.png 

0693W00000WKYhHQAX.png 

The package 5.8.0 works for me but not the 5.9.0

Thanks for that! Your link opens to a long list, and under "ARM" (not Arm! - you'd think they'd not use identical names for different things!)

I can see CMSIS Embedded Compute Library, but only version 1.10 to 1.14.1.

Could you give an exact link to the correct reference?

I'd like to ask STM employees why this is so damn difficult? Isn't the CMSIS package critical for many applications? Why isn't it being included in the STM32CubeIDE package management?

Hello @Robmar​ ,

Sorry I couldn't copy the direct link, anyways the CMSIS pack is placed under: ARM -> CMSIS (Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard).

I'll check internally the reason behind the removal of the CMSIS pack from Software packs and I'll get back to you asap.

Sara.

What a pain, so finally got around to trying to test our code with the CMSIS DSP, went into the component selector, selected CMSIS modules, DSP, and clicked OK, as there was no big flashing INSTALL button, and nothing happened!

It didn't install the DSP folder after code generation, sure this is easy right, but obvious it is not.

Any pointers?

Man you seem to have an issue with comprehensive reading. You probably ignored the warning given by the component selector, and did not enable CMSIS CORE. CMSIS DSP stands on top of CMSIS CORE.

You're probably going to continue having issues that you're not going to know how to resolve by yourself. I suggest you to ignore the component selector and just copy and paste the source code:

https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/releases/tag/5.8.0

Try reading a guide on how to add a library to your code:

> in GitHub/ARM-software/CMSIS_5 this has to be compiled with doxygen

This is just a nonsense. The DSP part has been moved out to a separate CMSIS-DSP library. And the compilation of code has nothing to do with Doxygen. Add the directory paths for .h files, compile the .c files and it's good to go. Exactly the same as every other code library!
