As someone who has spent hundreds of hours fighting linker scripts and chasing hard faults, I’ve learned that STM32CubeIDE (based on Eclipse) is a polarizing tool. It’s not as sleek as Keil or as modern as VS Code. However, when configured correctly, it offers debugging capabilities that commercial tools charge thousands for—for free.

In the .ioc file, the Pinout view shows conflicts in real-time. Before writing a single line of code, resolve all yellow triangles. The biggest time-saver? Right-click any pin and select "Erase Pin Selection" to clear ST’s sometimes-annoying automatic assignment. Forget printf . In STM32CubeIDE, open the Debug perspective (the little bug icon on the top right).
