# Tutorial: Managing library header files

## Tutorial: Managing library header files

## EC-2025 & 2024

### Hierarchy of Library Header Files

The relationship between library header files for MCU register configurations:

* STM32F411RE Board

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/78ec9b01-be5f-4483-a32d-df44f70246c3)

**1) Provided library by ARM:**

* stm32f411xe.h

**2) Custom Lib headers created in EC course**

* ecSTM32F4v2.h
* ecXXXXX.h

### EC header files

Create library file named as `ecSTM32F4v2.h`

Save the file in your include folder. e.g) `/EC/include/`

We will update `ecSTM32F4v2.h` as we process each tutorial and lab.

```cpp
//ecSTM32F4v2.h
