Installing STM32CubeMX on Linux

Installing STM32CubeMX on Linux

The STM32CubeMX tool is written in portable java, but unfortunately it is distributed as a Windows executable embedded in a Windows installer.

To install it on Linux:

  1. sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.11.0.exe
  2. install the tool somewhere in your home, eg: /home/you/stm32/cubemx
  3. sudo chown -R you:you /home/you/stm32/cubemx

To run it:

  • java -jar /home/you/stm32/cubemx/STM32CubeMX.exe
  • or mark that file as executable, rename it to STM32CubeMX.jar, and double click it

When I tried to setup SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.10.0.linux I got error:
Exec error: Permission denied
just check permission for files in ./jre/bin folder. They must be executable.
Zip archive clear executable bit for all files.

@VictorTagayun Save the following code in ~/.local/share/applications/stm32cubemx.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=STM32CubeMX
GenericName=STM32CubeMX
Comment=Graphical tool for configuration of STM32 Microcontrollers
Exec=/usr/local/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeMX
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/<USERNAME>/.local/share/applications/icons/stm32cubemx.png
StartupWMClass=STM32CubeMX
StartupNotify=true

And don't forget the icon in ~/.local/share/applications/icons/stm32cubemx.png or change the paths in the .desktop-file accordingly. stm32cubemx

Hope this helps :)

It works like a charm 👍 .
it amazes me that the stm32cubemx installer does not perform that option.
