Compiling CMSIS-DSP Libraries for STM32H7 in STM32CubeIDE

[AlessandroAmb]

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that the latest version of the CMSIS-DSP libraries is no longer provided in the precompiled .a format for STM processors.

On my old Windows PC, I went through a rather complicated process of installing several tools and configuring CMake to compile the libraries. It was challenging to get everything running smoothly.

Now, I’m wondering if it’s possible to compile the CMSIS-DSP libraries directly within STM32CubeIDE on Windows to generate a .a library. Is there a clear guide or manual available that explains how to set this up?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the link, it's a good starting point. But I would like to precompile the library to obtain a *.a file and be able to compile my code faster and with other optimisations.

I have the impression that for the processor that I use (STM32H743) the included librairies source code is too old and incomplete: 

So I'll take them from the ARM site: https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS-DSP

It would be really useful from ST to share the precompiled files adapted to the different cores (there aren't so many) instead of giving a long procedure to follow.... any chance?
