STM32CubeMX 4.23.0 syscalls.c bugs ?

Hi,

i'm using STM32CubeMX V 4.23.0 to build a project for a stm32f107vct with FatFs, LWIP & FreeRTOS using the gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update toolchain.

Compiling the generated syscalls.c fails due various errors (see output below).

1. One problem is that '

   #

   ifdef

   _SYS_TIME_H_' should be '

   #

   ifndef

   _SYS_TIME_H_', because timezone is already defined via the generated <sys/time.h> include in gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update/arm-none-eabi/include/sys/time.h and _SYS_TIME_H_ is therefore already set.

   #ifdef _SYS_TIME_H_

   struct timezone {

   int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */

   int tz_dsttime; /* type of dst correction */

   };

   #endif

2. gcc relies on __asm_() instead asm() when using ANSI-C or STD-C so the following generated statement should be changed

   caddr_t _sbrk(int incr)

   { extern char end

   asm

   ('end'); // should be

   __

   asm__

   ('end'); static char *heap_end; char *prev_heap_end,*min_stack_ptr;

With best regards

Hello

,

I confirm your reported issue and I raised it internally to the appropriate team.

Hello

jakob.heiko

,

I first thank you for your comment.

The timezone definition was necessary because of lwip:sockets.h. That code is coming from LWIP community and ST does not change it.

To avoid the timeval multidefinition, the pragma_SYS_TIME_H_ had to be defined at build level (btw: you should have it in the generated makefile), thus timezone had to be added 'manually', and this is done in the syscalls.c.

Have you modified the generated makefile ?

Kind regards

Hi

jakob.heiko

‌,

Most recent available version of CubeMX I used, i.e. 4.25, brings new defines for compilation line in Makefile.

Please find here after some evidence log:

make -C Canada_MkI BINPATH=/cygdrive/c/gcc-arm/bin -f Makefile -k

make: Entering directory '/cygdrive/i/STM32/CUBE_MX/CubeMX_7921/support/Canada_MkI' mkdir build ... /cygdrive/c/gcc-arm/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc -c -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -D_TIMEVAL_DEFINED -D_SYS_TIME_H_ -DUSE_HAL_DRIVER -DSTM32F107xC -DUSE_FULL_LL_DRIVER -I../Inc

...

NOTE: I modified the 'Project Settings', i.e.,in 'Advance Settings', 'Driver Selector' as LL for RTC.

Hope this helps completing this thread.

Regards.
