What is STM32Cube?

STM32Cube is a comprehensive ecosystem of tools and software from STMicroelectronics designed to simplify the development process for STM32 microcontrollers. It includes the STM32CubeIDE (an integrated development environment), STM32CubeMX (a graphical configuration tool for microcontroller peripherals and clock settings), and STM32CubeProgrammer (a tool for programming the microcontroller's flash memory). It also comprises various software expansion packages that provide middleware and drivers, such as hardware abstraction layers (HALs) and low-layer APIs (LLAPIs). STM32Cube is commonly used to rapidly prototype and develop embedded systems, ranging from simple applications to complex industrial control systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and consumer electronics. The goal is to help developers generate initialization code, configure peripherals, and implement application logic more efficiently.
