Hi I am a newbie to STM32 (coming from 8 bit freescale) , and will be concentrating on the STM32L0 range. The CubeMX looks really good at first site, but wondering what people thouhts are? Am I better using it to initialise my code, then simply change parts? I looked at the code generated for the UART. And amazed at the amount of code it added for a simple interupt enabled (not DMA).
Many Thanks Scott
depends on what, exactly, you want to use it for ...
If you just want to get something working quickly - then it's probably a good way to go.
If you want to optimise performance and/or code size, then it's maybe not the right thing.
As you say you're coming from 8-bit MCUs, you should be familiar with the principles here - so you should be able to judge whether what CubeMx is giving you is suitable to your needs ...
