Introduction

This document is a brief guide for users to get started quickly with STM32CubeCLT, the STMicroelectronics command-line

toolset for STM32 MCUs.

STM32CubeCLT offers all the STM32CubeIDE facilities packaged for command-prompt use by third-party IDEs, or continuous

integration and continuous development (CD/CI).

The streamlined single STM32CubeCLT package includes:

• CLI (command-line interface) versions of ST tools like toolchain, probe connection utility, and flash memory programming

utility

• Up-to-date system view descriptor (SVD) files

• Any other IDE relevant metadata

STM32CubeCLT allows:

• Building a program for STM32 MCU devices using an enhanced GNU toolchain for STM32

• Programming STM32 MCU internal memories (flash memory, RAM, OTP, and others) and external memories

• Verifying the programming content (checksum, verification during and after programming, comparison with file)

• Automating the STM32 MCU programming

• Debugging applications through the interface of STM32 MCU products, which provides access to MCU internal resources

using basic debug features
