Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.7.0\ .. families.xml

[gojimmypi]

Hi.

My objective is to have an STM32 project that can be shared on GitHub and useable by people without VisualGDB, specifically to be edited and compiled in the STM32CubeMX IDE.

I’m trying to use the new project wizard but I am encountering an error when selecting the toolchain.

Myfamilies.xml is found in

C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.7.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.common.mx_6.4.0.202111222105\db\mcu

and not

C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.7.0\STM32CubeIDE\db\mcu\

Error message:

Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong, or possible other alternatives? Thanks.

Hi,

Look like you have pointed VisualGDB to the location of STM32CubeIDE instead of STM32CubeMX.

Please make sure you install STM32CubeMX and point VisualGDB to it as shown in this tutorial, and it should work out-of-the-box.
