MX_RTC_Init undefined

[iDeew]

Hi,

I'm getting this below compile time errors...

undefined reference to `MX_RTC_Init'

However, I have included the rtc.h header file, which contains the declaration of the MX_RTC_Init(void) function.

#include "main.h"
#include "cmsis_os.h"
#include "fdcan.h"
#include "i2c.h"
#include "lwip.h"
#include "rtc.h"
#include "spi.h"
#include "usart.h"
#include "usb_device.h"
#include "app_touchgfx.h"

Why does CubeIDE still giving me this error?

Thanks

Hello @iDeew and welcome to the ST Community .

Could you please share your .ioc file. Also, tell me the versions of CubeMX and CubeIDE that you are using.

Best Regards.

[iDeew]

You meant .ioc file?
Pleas see attached.

CubeMX 6.11.1
CubeIDE v1.16.0

[STTwo-32]

Could you please try using the last version of CubeMX (V6.12.0).

Best Regards.

That's a linker error - not a compiler error.

That's right: it contains only a declaration - not the definition.

The error message said that it's the definition that's missing.

The definition would be in the rtc.c source file - so check that's correctly included in the project ...

I upgraded to v6.12.0.
But CubeIDE is giving me the exact same error. Below is the what I see in console.

Yes, you are correct. It is a Linker error.
Any idea why I'm getting it?

Thanks

[STTwo-32]

If you still have the same error. Can you send you project here. 

Best Regards.

Because the rtc.c source file - which contains the definition - isn't being built and/or isn't being linked.

Is it present in your Project?

As @STTwo-32 said, you could attach the Project...
