ParticipantHello,
how can I update my HAL version? There is a new version that fixes some bugs, but I don’t want to use Stm32CubeMX, I want to use the VisualGDB templates. When will the HALs be updated? It’s frustrating that they are not up to date, because then you might as well do without VisualGDB altogether if you are using Stm32CubeMx anyway.Device Stm32H7S3

ParticipantHello, can I expect a reply in the next few days?

ParticipantHello,
will I receive a reply, or will this question also go unanswered by the support service?
I understand that you may be very busy, but if you sell a product, you should also keep it up to date or at least explain how to update the libraries yourself without using CubeMX.January 20, 2026 at 08:05 #37076support
KeymasterHi,
Sorry for the delay. There is no automatic way to update the project to an arbitrary GitHub version of the HAL. You can convert the project to a fully-custom one, and manually replace the relevant files, but it is not guaranteed to work and may require some manual adjustments.
Automatic one-click updates work for the HAL versions that have been tested by us and released as BSP packages. We are working on a major update to the STM32 BSP system that separates the BSPs for different device families (e.g. STM32H7 vs F4), resolving many glitches caused by slightly different versions of FreeRTOS, AzureRTOS, etc. between the device families. We were originally expecting to release the update yesterday, but there are still a few glitches left to fix on our side. Unless we discover anything completely unexpected, the BSPs should be ready to download in the next couple of days.

ParticipantThat sounds great. I wanted to start a larger project, and with this information, I can wait a little longer and then set up a project with VisualGDB. Could you please let me know in the next few days as soon as it is available?
Thank you very much for your reply.

KeymasterNo problem and thanks for your patience.
We have just released an updated BSP for STM32H7RS. You can install it via the VisualGDB Package Manager as usual. We would also recommend updating to this VisualGDB build: VisualGDB-6.1.101.5500.msi. It’s the release candidate for v6.1 that has been tested with the new BSPs.
We also released updated ARM toolchain (GCC 15.2) and updated OpenOCD (regular + ST fork). Packages for the other STM32 families will be released tomorrow, after they pass the final test run.

ParticipantGreat, I’ll get started right away. Thank you very much for your prompt response.

KeymasterNo worries. BTW, the other STM32 packages passed the remaining tests and have been released as well.
We also caught a glitch in the CMake logic of v6.1 that would interfere with the default FreeRTOS port selection. It has been fixed in this build: VisualGDB-6.1.101.5501.msi
