Description

STM32CubeCLT is an all-in-one multi-OS command-line toolset, which is part of the STM32Cube ecosystem. STM32CubeCLT is a toolset for third-party integrated development environment (IDE) providers, allowing the use of STMicroelectronics proprietary tools within their own IDE frameworks. STM32CubeCLT includes GNU C/C++ for Arm® toolchain executables, GDB debugger, and STM32CubeProgrammer (STM32CubeProg) utility. It provides system view descriptors for the entire STM32 MCU portfolio and associates each STM32 MCU and development board with the appropriate SVD.

General Information

STM32CubeCLT supports STM32 products based on the Arm® Cortex®-M processor.

What is STM32Cube?

STM32Cube is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to improve designer productivity significantly by reducing development effort, time, and cost. STM32Cube covers the whole STM32 portfolio.

STM32Cube includes:

• A set of user-friendly software development tools to cover project development from conception to realization, among which are:
  • STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the automatic generation of C initialization code using graphical wizards.
  • STM32CubeIDE, an all-in-one development tool with peripheral configuration, code generation, code compilation, and debug features.
  • STM32CubeCLT, an all-in-one command-line development toolset with code compilation, board programming, and debug features.
  • STM32CubeProgrammer (STM32CubeProg), a programming tool available in graphical and command-line versions.
  • STM32CubeMonitor (STM32CubeMonitor, STM32CubeMonPwr, STM32CubeMonRF, STM32CubeMonUCPD), powerful monitoring tools to fine-tune the behavior and performance of STM32 applications in real time.
• STM32Cube MCU and MPU Packages, comprehensive embedded-software platforms specific to each microcontroller and microprocessor series (such as STM32CubeU5 for the STM32U5 Series), which include:
  • STM32Cube hardware abstraction layer (HAL), ensuring maximized portability across the STM32 portfolio.
  • STM32Cube low-layer APIs, ensuring the best performance and footprints with a high degree of user control over hardware.
  • A consistent set of middleware components such as ThreadX, FileX / LevelX, NetX Duo, USBX, USB-PD, touch library, network library, mbed-crypto, TFM, and OpenBL.
  • All embedded software utilities with full sets of peripheral and applicative examples.
• STM32Cube Expansion Packages, which contain embedded software components that complement the functionalities of the STM32Cube MCU and MPU Packages with:
  • Middleware extensions and applicative layers.
  • Examples running on some specific STMicroelectronics development boards.
