First project for STM32 with HAL in C++

Question

I would like to create a project for STM32 with HAL in C++. Unfortunately, CubeMX supports only projects in C. However, HAL support C++.

I have created a project in CubeMX and I was trying to import it to any of the IDEs above but without any success because it is imported as a C project. So it doesn't look like a good solution.

Also, I have tried creating a C++ project in the mentioned IDE and adding to it files from CubeMX. It seems to be more logic but I can't do it in the right way because my configuration is still wrong.

Could anyone explain me how should I configure new C++ projects in Eclipse or Atollic TrueSTUDIO in order to use HAL?

Answer 1

there is very simple way to build a cpp project in stm32cubeide

1. after making new stm32 project check the c++ box
2. do the initialize
3. compile the code in main folder
4. press right click and select source folder
5. put your cpp file in it
6. for call this cpp functions in main.c in cpp file make a simple function like main2()
7. that you call it from main.c now you can use cpp function through main2() function
