STM32CubeMX

Use this skill to turn .ioc validation into an actual STM32CubeMX and Keil build check, not just text parsing.

Workflow

1. Start with an existing .ioc file. If the user only has a desired STM32 configuration, first create or obtain the .ioc using the relevant STM32 configuration skill or local tooling.
2. Prefer the bundled script:

python "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\skills\stm32cubemx\scripts\cubemx_generate_build.py" --ioc "D:\path\project.ioc" --build-keil --clean-keil-output

1. If CubeMX or Keil is not found, rerun with explicit paths:

python "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\skills\stm32cubemx\scripts\cubemx_generate_build.py" --ioc "D:\path\project.ioc" --cubemx "D:\STM32CubeMX" --uv4 "C:\Keil_v5\UV4\UV4.exe" --build-keil

1. Report the generated project directory, CubeMX log, Keil log, and whether the build produced 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s).

CubeMX Command Mode

Use STM32CubeMX quiet script mode for real validation:

config load ""
project name 
project toolchain "MDK-ARM"
project path ""
project generate
exit

Run it on Windows as:

& "\jre\bin\java.exe" -jar "\STM32CubeMX.exe" -q ""

Treat config load followed by OK, project generate followed by OK, and generated Core/Src/main.c as the baseline CubeMX success criteria.

Keil Build Mode

Use UV4.exe -b -j0 -o for build verification. In this environment ARMCC V5 builds the CubeMX project reliably with Keil's default parallel setting.

Set TEMP and TMP to a writable folder before running Keil. ARMCC can fail with cannot open embedded assembler output file "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\..." when the process cannot write to the default temp directory. This is an environment problem, not an .ioc problem.

The bundled script handles this by creating a local keil_temp folder and overriding TEMP/TMP for the build subprocess.

Diagnosis Rules

• If CubeMX cannot load the .ioc, inspect the CubeMX log around config load first.
• If CubeMX loads but cannot generate, inspect the log around project generate.
• If Keil fails before compiling user files and mentions C:\WINDOWS\TEMP, rerun with a writable temp directory.
• If Keil reports I/O error writing file ... .o, retry with --jobs 0 --clean-keil-output and a writable local TEMP/TMP.
• If Keil compiles but links fail because object files are missing, read earlier compile errors; the link error is usually downstream.
• Ignore CubeMX update, advertisement image, and SQLite temp cleanup warnings unless they occur before config load or block project generate.
• Do not claim the firmware is hardware-tested unless flashing and board-level runtime checks were actually performed.

Outputs

Keep validation artifacts near the .ioc unless the user requests a different destination:

/cubemx_project//
/cubemx_verify_script.txt
/cubemx_generate.log
/keil_build.log
