STM32Cube Build Context

Purpose and scope

The STM32Cube Build Context checks prerequisites and launches builds for CMake-based STM32 projects through cube cmake. It does not program, erase, or debug a target.

Use this context in STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code. It supports the VS Code target only and requires the declared stmicroelectronics.stm32-vscode-extension dependency. During setup, add --install-vscode-extensions to install declared extensions in the selected profile. For an existing project, run cube agentic-ai doctor <project> --fix --vscode-profile "<exact profile name>". Without an explicit profile and installation request, the installer reports the required commands. The CMake project must be the workspace root and must be discovered by STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code (cubified). See the STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code documentation. After project generation, run Developer: Reload Window once and wait for CMake configuration to finish before asking the agent to build.

The project must contain a root CMakeLists.txt and a CMakePresets.json file when it uses presets. setup installs the context’s declared CMake bundle dependency. It checks any project-specific toolchain requirements and does not change build files. Before a build, the user must confirm that the project is trusted for execution or approve a named sandbox.

The context is delivered in the cube-agentic-ai-build bundle.
