A CUBE issue: float mode from hard to ''soft'' with no explanation

Hi,

i have a problem with CUBE and System Workbench.

Each time i click the ''Generate code'' the FPU mode in Drivers and/or Middlewares is randomly switched from hard to soft (--abi-float=soft)

The code won't compile then.

It's very annoying because this behavior is very random: sometimes only the Drivers branch is touched, sometimes both Drivers and Middlewares are changed.

Is my problem unique or there's a solution for a ''permanent'' float setting in Eclipse?

I need ''hard''.

-

Using the System Workshop Luna Release 2 (4.4.2) and Cube MX 4.14.0 on Windows.

If STemwin is in use, then softfpu is required.

soft fpu still use FPU but calling is different.

Okay, but it silently changes also the Driver's MPU to ''-mthumb''. The rest of project remains unchanged. You can easily imagine what happens then, on execution.

THE PROBLEM IS:

After each of code generations the Drivers MPU Setting is not more inherited from  the project root, and in 50% of the cases Drivers in plus are completely excluded from the build.

I can re-include Drivers back but I cannot change the Drivers MPU settings to anything - nor hard, nor softp.

The only way to ''fix'' it is to delete the entire Drivers folder physically and to copy it back.
