Currently the search in the pinout view searches the labels. It would be nice if there was some way to search pin functions, too. Eg., all the pins that have I2C2 anything as their alternate function.

    Hi,

    Ok for the search, it is only a pin search.

    However, I fully agree with Imen, you have this function on the pin view.

    Here is my example : 

    I2C2_SCL is on H4-PH4 as below :

    and if you do a Ctrl Click, you have in blue the alternate functions (H3-PF1 and R12-PB10) : 

    0690X00000609XSQAY.png

    It is the way we decided to show the alternate functions.

    Hi,

    Actually there is an option: if you press ctrl key on keyboard and click on a pin, all alternates of this pin will change to blue. Also you can change the peripheral's pin by dragging the current pin to blue pin.

    hope it would be helpful.

    Bests,

    Misagh

    I'm talking about using the STM32CubeMX application to search for pin functions in stead of using the data sheet, that's all.  'find me all the pins with this alternate function.'

    also it would be helpful if ST used a two digit pin  number because searching for PA01 does not give me pin 1 on port a. Searching for PA1 gives me all pins that being with PA1 including all the pins from pa11-pa19. When the labels are inconsistent, that means I have to click on up to 10 balls in order to find pin PA1. The search needs improvement.

    Hi

    doe.john.016

    ,

    I was reading this post and I am trying to reproducethe point you highlighted.

    From the pin search, I am searching for PA1, I found it immediately in the combo box as below :

    0690X00000609XDQAY.png

    Is it what you need?

    BR

    now can you search for I2C2 and have it reveal all the pins that can do I2C2 as their alternate function?
