New Project

You could check also CLion: STM32CubeMX projects

This is my suggestion how to handle it as IMHO the official way does not work as good as it could be.

• Start STM32 CubeMX: ~/bin/pkgs/STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeMX
  • Click on “access to … selector”
  • accept your selection
  • go to “Project Manager”
  • under “Project Location” add the parent directory your project should be created in (directory name for the project will be the project name)
  • set “Project Name”
  • on “Toolchain / IDE” choose “STM43CubeIDE”
  • ensure “Generate Under Root” is selected
  • save
  • exit
• CLion
  • File, Open, select .ioc file
  • Choose “Open as Project”
  • Open with STM32CubeMX
  • STM32CubeMX
    • Generate Code
    • Close
    • exit
  • OpenOCD popup appears “Select Board Configuration File”
  • select your configuration (perhaps preselected) and click on “Use”

Debugging

Ensure you are using the upstream OpenOCD and NOT the Raspberry Pi Pico modified one.
