Note

  • Windows® 64-bit: Intel® Core by default.

Processor (CPU)

  • Minimum configuration

    • Windows® / Linux®: Multi‑core x86_64 processor, for example Intel® Core i3, with a frequency of at least 1.6 GHz

    • macOS®: Apple® Silicon M1 or newer, or Intel® Core i5

  • Recommended configuration

    • Windows® / Linux®: Intel® Core i5 or equivalent

    • macOS®: Apple® silicon M1 or newer, or Intel® Core i7

Memory (RAM)

  • Minimum: 8 GB RAM

  • Recommended: 16 GB RAM

Note

In typical development environments where multiple applications run in parallel, STM32CubeMX2 may require more than 10 GB of total system memory. 16 GB RAM or higher is therefore recommended for a comfortable user experience.

Disk space

Users must ensure that:

  • There is enough free disk space to install STM32CubeMX2.

  • There is enough free disk space to install or update several device and software packs.

  • There is enough free disk space to create, open and build multiple user projects.

  • The drive hosting STM32CubeMX2 and its data have sufficient free space margin to handle temporary files and future updates.

Warning

STM32CubeMX2 is not compatible with Ubuntu® 20.04 due to its reliance on a more recent version of glibc . Upgrading the glibc version on Ubuntu® 20.04 is complex and may cause issues with other system libraries. Proceed with caution if attempting this upgrade.

Minimal resolution

  • STM32CubeMX2 has been designed for a 15 inches HD screen (1920*1080 px) in landscape.

  • It’s possible to use it with a lower resolution or screen size, but your experience may be degraded.

Note

  • Using the Zoom can help if STM32CubeMX2 is used with a smaller resolution or screen size.

  • The zoom is available in the ‘View’ menu at the top of the interface.
