Posted on July 06, 2015 at 19:13I'm trying to decide if I want to use the STM32CUBE HAL code. Because I'm on linux, the cubemx thing doesn't run well, so I used the windows version and generated some code to use with openstm32 ( which also doesn't run well with linux ). I ignored all the openstm32 stuff and just created a new C project in standard eclipse. I setup all the include paths and symbols by hand.
I was feeling happy that I got it going without too much trouble and then I noticed this header in the linker script:
/*

Questions I have:
1.) Is this intentional or just an overly cautious template in the cubemx code generator?
2.) Are their other legal landmines lurking in the generated code that I should be aware of if my intent is to use this with open source code projects?
