Hi,

I was going through the example of promixity sensor of B-L475E-IOT01A board in the github stm32l4cube repository. i compiled the code and debugged it. After dumping the program into my board and while trying to get the values in hyperterminal I get the following error, HardFault_Handler() at stm32l4xx_it.c:61 0x8000882 . to be noted that I got this error only after I entered the command in my hyperterminal to view the sensor values.

Can anyone help me with rectifying this

Thanks!!!

Perhaps start by looking at a listing file for the offending location.

Ideally in your debugger, you can inspect the processor registers, and code at/prior to the faulting location.

Perhaps an interrupt firing with an uninitialized pointer or peripheral instance

@Community member​  I am a newbie , so it would be very helpful if you can share any resources who previously encountered similar problem?

Thanks!!

The linker should be able to generate a listing file. A debugger should be able to show code at a specific address.

Status VL53L0X_Error <optimized out>

 I found this in VL53L0X_PerformSingleRangingMeasurement() at

vl53l0x_api.c:2,519 0x800105c

and ".ld"is the linker file if I am not wrong

Debug with an IDE. Use the stack trace to guide the debugging process. Inspect the SCB register to determine the source of the hardfault and correct.

Thank you trying that now

The linker script (.ld) controls where the linker places things.

The listing file (.lst, .lss, etc) is a disassembly of the file, or sources. I expect you could use objcopy to generate one from the .elf file if necessary.

Thank you so much , will try that

I commented out the function which actually converts the millimeter values to sigma ( I think the function ensures the distance values we get are within a limit of a certain range) , now the code seems to work , but not sure whether my values are calibrated . Thanks!!!
