STM32F429 binary file too large more than 2,2 Gb

[LRABO.1]

Hi,

I'm a french embedded developer.

At my office, i need to make some modification to an old project, made with TrueStudio I think.

It's a STM32F429 custom board with a LCD screen, and STemWin v5.22 library.

I use STM32cubeIDE 1.7.0 usually.

I import this old project, STM3cubeIDE sees no problem with the code.

So i build it, and surprise, the binary file is larger than 2.2 Gb !

I don't understand

Why is it so big ? How can i change that ?

I think I need some help.

Thanks for reading.

A HEX file can have gaps in the memory space while a BIN file can not. If you are storing to internal flash as well as another location, a BIN file is not suitable.

Exact answer depends on your linker details.
