Running the chapter’s example-programs

The chapter’s example-programs are in the IDE-project Chapter_08. There are 6 example-programs, and each has it’s own build configuration.

To build a particular build-configuration, it must be made the active build-configuration:

Figure 8.1 : The example-programs’ build configurations

Project Explorer identifies files that are not part of the active build-configuration by putting a slash across their thumbnail.

Figure 8.2 : The Project Explorer tags the files not in the active build-configuration

Figure 8.2 : The Project Explorer tags the files not in the active build-configuration

The easiest way to build the examples programs is to build all of them at once:

  1. In STM32CubeIDE, open the Console window (Window | Show View | Console).
  2. In the Console window’s toolbar, click on the icon Open Console, and select C/C++ Build Console.
