HAL drivers with STM32C5 and STMCubeIDE

[MatheusNifocci77]

Hello guys, 

I started a project using STM32C552RET6 and STM32CubeIDE. 

When I use the autocomplete feature to select a HAL function, I can’t find it. I have to type the function manually.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Please see How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution for best results.

In particular, what version of CubeIDE are you using?

How, exactly, did you start this project?

For C5, you need to use STM32CubeMX2

Hi Andrew

 

Yes, i use Stm32CubeMX2 to generate this project, using a Cmake format. 

 

After that, i import this projet on stm32cubeIDE as a STM32CubeMX2 Project. I'm using stm32CubeIDE 

Version: 2.1.1.

Autocomplete is clearly working in your screenshot.

What function are you looking for?

 

[MatheusNifocci77]

HAL_GPIO_ReadPin for example.

Thank you for bringing our attention to this issue,

It could be the GPIO driver is not enabled. I've ran into the same problem.

 

I would check to see if the stm32c5xx_hal_gpio.c file is grayed out (not enabled).

I'm not sure if CubeMX2 is supposed to add defines/symbols automatically or if it's a bug, but I have to enable each peripheral even though i enabled them in CubeMX2.

 

For instance, stm32c5xx_hal_gpio.c HAL driver, it's all grayed out. The right column shows all the functions have a slash.

 

When I add "GPIOC" which is a one of the symbols, it enables the whole file. I have to add symbols for other peripherals as well.

You can see it's not grayed out and in the right column, the slashes are gone.

Now I am able to type a few characters and hit CTRL + Space to bring up a list of available functions.

​@Karl Yamashita I have a better and simpler solution for you… you just need to define the symbol for the specific chip flavor you’re using.

In stm32c5xx.h there is a section of “Device_Includes”:

#if defined(STM32C531xx)
#include "stm32c531xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C532xx)
#include "stm32c532xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C542xx)
#include "stm32c542xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C551xx)
#include "stm32c551xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C552xx)
#include "stm32c552xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C562xx)
#include "stm32c562xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C591xx)
#include "stm32c591xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C593xx)
#include "stm32c593xx.h"
#elif defined(STM32C5A3xx)
#include "stm32c5a3xx.h"
#else
#error "Please select first the target STM32C5xx device used in your application"
#endif

I have my project set up for an STMC32552VET6.  So I put STM32C552xx into C/C++ General / Paths and Symbols / Symbols, and voila, the IDE recognizes the HAL code now.  This works because this is the sole symbol that is being emitted to the code build from CMake.  In flags.cmake I find:

  target_compile_definitions(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC STM32C552xx _RTE_)

Just for giggles and completeness, I added _RTE_ to the symbols as well.  It would be helpful if ST would set the MCU symbol in the CubeIDE project when importing the CMake project.
