Is it possible to compile STM32 FW library sources into real library files (*.a)? I suppose, that linker can then link only functions that are needed.

If it is, how to do it in CrossWorks/GCC? Ivan

Yes it is possible. What I have done is the following:

Setup a directory with the STM library in it. In my solution I created a 2nd Project using the library options. From the menu select Project->Dependancies and then ensure that your primary project within the solution is dependant on the library and it works. Rowley have a few FAQ's related to this on their website. I haven't tried using the externally linked option yet where the 2nd project is not in the solution(although I may do so that my workspace isn't cluttered with hundreds of functions that I am not that interested in)

Thank you for detailed quide.

However, I have already left CrossWorks.
