STM32WB05KZV6TR BLE compile issue

[drafshin]

Hello STM32 Community,

I’m currently working with an STM32WB05KZV6TR microcontroller and am facing issues after adding the STM32_BLE to my project. I initially configured a BLE peripheral using STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE, and after code is generated, it does not compile. it looks like it can't find the .s file

here are some of the errors:

The errors highlight multiple undefined references, particularly to blue_unit_conversion and functions like HW_RNG_Init, HW_AES_Init, and PKAMGR_Init, as well as references to several other functions related to BLE and cryptography.

Steps I Took to Resolve:

1. Tried Adding blue_unit_conversion.s to Assembler: To fix the undefined reference to 'blue_unit_conversion' error, I added the blue_unit_conversion.s file in the assembler section of the project settings.

2. Encountered New Issue with Reset_Handler: After adding blue_unit_conversion.s, I encountered the following error:

   `

warning: cannot find entry symbol Reset_Handler; defaulting to 10040000​

• Can someone provide guidance on resolving the undefined reference errors?
• Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I did install STM32CubeMX-Win version 6.13.0, and generated code exactly as mentioned above, and then imported the project to STM32CUBe ide  from File > import > general > CubeMX .ico file

then navigated to main.c and pressed compile, I got the error below. I am not sure why BLE on this specific microcontroller is problematic.

Generate the code to CubeIDE from CubeMX and don’t import it. On CubeMX, Go to project Manager > Project > select CubeIDE as your IDE and give the project a name. Then, click on generate code. 

Best Regards.

I did, and still same issue. Attached is the zipped folder of the project created with CubeMX. I would appreciate if you could try compiling on your end, or making a project from scratch for STM32WB05KZV6TR. To me I think its the project settings where assembly files are not complied in order, maybe a bug, but only this specific chip gives me hard time, but we can't change it since we have our hardware manufactured, and we followed datasheet for the design, to exact specs.

Hello @drafshin 

I've added a project that does compile on the STM32CubeIDE V1.17.0. Please open it as it is or generate your own based on the .ioc file of this project (don't change parameters). After that create another project (any project on any MCU not the STM32WB0) I've got already other projects on my side too: 

After that compile the project based on the STME32WB0. You may receive another message. After that compile the other project and recompile your STM32WB0 project. This time it should be working fine with this workaround:

PS: this behavior will be solved on the coming release (coming in a few days) of the STM32CubeMX.

Best Regards.

Sorry for late reply, I got another project and couldn't try your code erlier.

I followed your suggestions and did the followings

1. Downloaded the project you attached and opened it in CubeIDE

2. create a project for a STM32F07 and copied. a simple serial, and built it

3. I built the project you provided. (I had to clean to remove a cash error, for future people want to try this)

and I think it worked! I got only the following error but hex generated.

C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_1.16.1/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.12.3.rel1.win32_1.1.0.202410251130/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/12.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker

Thank you for the help

I got some treble with RTC, but overall looks working.
