Help building from STM32CubeF3

[laplaga]

Hello there! I'm trying to build a blinky program using make

I'm using HAL, and the CMSIS V2 FreeRTOS ports/sources from https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeF3/tree/master

My program compiles, but it doesn't blink, and I have no idea of how to debug it.

I'm using GCC as my compiler, this is an example of the settings I configured.

arm-none-eabi-gcc -c -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard -DUSE_HAL_DRIVER -DSTM32F303xE  -IrobotConfig/inc -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Drivers/STM32F3xx_HAL_Driver/Inc -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Drivers/STM32F3xx_HAL_Driver/Inc/Legacy -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32F3xx/Include -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Drivers/CMSIS/Include -Iapp/inc -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Middlewares/Third_Party/FreeRTOS/Source/include -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Middlewares/Third_Party/FreeRTOS/Source/CMSIS_RTOS_V2 -I/opt/STM32CubeF3/Middlewares/Third_Party/FreeRTOS/Source/portable/GCC/ARM_CM4F  -Og -Wall -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -g -gdwarf-2 -MMD -MP -MF"build/stm32f3xx_ll_adc.d" -Wa,-a,-ad,-alms=build/stm32f3xx_ll_adc.lst /opt/STM32CubeF3/Drivers/STM32F3xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f3xx_ll_adc.c -o build/stm32f3xx_ll_adc.o

This is my FreeRtosConfig, I got it from the examples, and added  the static allocation.

I've tried with plain FreeRTOS and CMSIS v2, but none of them are executing the task.

I would appreciate ideas of where the errof might be comming from. I've thought of an error in my FreeRTOS config, or a misconfig in the clocks, but my project worked with only hal

I can share more of the code, if necessary

Hello @laplaga and welcome to the community.

Not sufficient as info.

You need to share your main and the task.

Did you try to toggle your LED without RTOS? it could be something wrong with the GPIO config.

You didn't tell which board are you using ST or custom board?

[laplaga]

Thanks, I've tried to toggle them without RTOS, and it worked, so I'm pretty sure that is not the problem :)

I'm using the STM32F303RE nucleo board

The main is here:

Could you please share your project including your ioc file?

[laplaga]

I'm not using the CubeIDE, I did help myself generating some source code from it, but I'm trying to set up the project using devcontainers

You can see the whole project here https://github.com/RobomasterOwltech/AppCodeTemp/tree/buildConfig

The dir robotConfig contains the GPIO initialization
