Hello I am using STM3F205VF microcontroller. I want to print hello world. I followed the following steps. I am encountering following errors.

[NSirm.1]

 The steps that I followed :1. Configured micrcontroller added UART Rx, UART Tx and Serial wire Viewer

2. In main.c in the infinite while loop added (HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, "HELLOWORLD ", 12, 100)

../Core/Src/main.c:100:35: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'HAL_UART_Transmit' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]

Cast the pointer appropriately

HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, (uint8_t *)"HELLOWORLD ", 12, 100) ;

Better yet write a subroutine that takes a char * input, and does the strlen() so you're not going to have to keep the parameters consistent.

If the linker can't find the linker script you need to resolve that, either put the .LD file where you're telling the linker it is situated, or pointing it at one that actually exists and is visible in the file system.

Hello

Thank you for your answer.

Could you tell me where can i check for the settings to change the location of .ld file?

I don't use CubeIDE, but rather GNU/GCC from the console with make.

You'll have to hunt-n-peck around the GUI and linker settings, or peek into the project file metadata.
