Hello,
converting a runnig project from IDE to VisualStudioCode, I have a strange problem:
all global variables are not initialized...
example:
uint32_t TestTemp1=0x1234;
When running after the main(), if i check the TestTemp1 value I don't found the expected value (0x1234), but a random value....
After checking I Found that the problem was in linker file:
This NOT INITIALIZE !
/* Specify the memory areas */
MEMORY
{
FLASH (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 2048K
DTCMRAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 128K
RAM_D1 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH = 512K
RAM_D2 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 288K
RAM_D3 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 64K
ITCMRAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 64K
}
/* Initialized data sections goes into RAM, load LMA copy after code */
.data :
{
. = ALIGN(4);
_sdata = .; /* create a global symbol at data start */
*(.data) /* .data sections */
*(.data*) /* .data* sections */
*(.RamFunc) /* .RamFunc sections */
*(.RamFunc*) /* .RamFunc* sections */
. = ALIGN(4);
} >RAM_D1 AT> FLASH
THIS INITIALIZE CORRECTLY !
/* Specify the memory areas */
MEMORY
{
FLASH (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 2048K
DTCMRAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 128K
RAM_D1 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH = 512K
RAM_D2 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 288K
RAM_D3 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 64K
ITCMRAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 64K
}
/* Initialized data sections goes into RAM, load LMA copy after code */
.data :
{
. = ALIGN(4);
_sdata = .; /* create a global symbol at data start */
*(.data) /* .data sections */
*(.data*) /* .data* sections */
*(.RamFunc) /* .RamFunc sections */
*(.RamFunc*) /* .RamFunc* sections */
. = ALIGN(4);
} >DTCMRAM AT> FLASH
The only difference is that in the second one use DTCMRAM instead of RAM_D1
But, I repeat, with STM32_IDE the project runs well also with RAM_D1
