STM32CubeIDE vs STM32CubeProgrammer

[Nikosant03]

Hi community,

I have just started with STM32 MCUs .

What is the difference between STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeProgrammer? I have already installed the STM32CubeIDE and I am able to program the NUCLEO-F030R8 dev. board that I use. So what is the usage of the STM32CubeProgrammer?

The STM32CubeIDE = compiler + debugger + STM32CubeProgrammer.

Thank you @Peter BENSCH​ for your prompt reply. So there is no need to install the STM32CubeProgrammer at least for now

I was looking this Wiki and they suggest to install both the STM32CubeIDE + STM32CubeProgrammer, that's why I've asked.

STMicroelectronics is not responsible for any third party websites so we don't know why this Github site recommends it. However - the STM32CubeProgrammer is not absolutely necessary in that case. So far, STM32CubeProgrammer was still necessary for TouchGFX, or as a stand-alone tool for independent programming.
