Arch Linux User Repository

Download STM32CubeIDE-Lnx manually and place it in the build directory. Login required for download.

STM32CubeIDE is now run by executing stm32cubeide_wayland official script. If you have issues related to run environment, try to edit /usr/share/applications/stm32cubeide.desktop file and uncomment one of commented out Exec=... lines and comment out currently used one. After making changes to stm32cubeide.desktop run update-desktop-database as root to apply changes.

Discussion about this Eclipse issues is here: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/158

It was possible before version 1.19.0: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=stm32cubeide&id=f78a410e8a5d4df3a370d0a89e39890ba5626988

It should be possible to download it automatically (without login) in the same way that stm32cubeprog does it: by fetching and parsing https://www.st.com/content/st_com_cx/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-ides/stm32cubeide/_jcr_content/get-software/getsw-table-li.nocache.html/st-site-cx/components/containers/product/get-software-table-body.html

It might be worth considering switching the dependency from webkit2gtk (AUR) to webkit2gtk-4.1, which is already available in the official Arch extra repository.

Building webkit2gtk from source is extremely time-consuming due to its size and complexity, and this significantly increases installation time for STM32CubeIDE users on Arch.

If webkit2gtk-4.1 is ABI/API compatible with what STM32CubeIDE requires, using the repo version would improve installation speed and overall user experience while avoiding unnecessary local builds.

Has anyone verified compatibility with webkit2gtk-4.1?

ST changed something again, now neither curl nor wget can download either the license (SLA0048) nor the additional license terms (HTML)

I had to force _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 as well as GDK_BACKEND=x11

Also their wayland integration seems wacky currently. I had to force x11 by GDK_BACKEND=x11 stm32cubeide.

@EuphoricCatface They removed CubeMX from CubeIDE 2.0.0. You have to install stm32cubemx separately.

I'm quite confused after upgrading to 2.0.0. Where's the device configuration editor? How do I create an example project??

EDIT: Apparently you need STM32CubeMX for that now (AUR link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stm32cubemx)

After downloading the zip, it seems i was having problems installing,
to fix the issues, manually download: SLA0048_STM32CubeIDE.pdf.
delete old installation dir at /opt/stmcubeide
and then build with:

❯ makepkg -si

note: it seems also the dependency st-link server needs its own zip to be installed.
Thank you Kumen for maintaining this package! Your efforts are really appreciated.
