How can I determine the starting address of the stack in CubeIDE?

In Keil, if you open a file with the extension .map, you can find information about starting address of stack and so on. See screen.

Hello,

Go to STM32CubeIDE\Debug and open .map file. Try to find the line

_estack = (ORIGIN (RAM) + LENGTH (RAM))

Thanks for the answer!

I found the desired line in .map file

_estack = (ORIGIN (RAM) + LENGTH (RAM))

and I don’t understand what to do with it. See screen.

Thank you, but how to find out the end address of stack from this file?

SofLit · ‎2024-01-26

_estack defines the end of the Stack which is the Top of the stack.

So normally the stack starts at: _estack - _Min_Stack_Size

It should really use the space allocated by the linker, in this case ST just lets it descend into the end of the heap

See _sbrk implementation in syscalls.c

ST sets in to the end of RAM, and it auto-decrements from there, basically the first 32-bit word gets stored at _estack-4

_bstack = (ORIGIN (RAM) + LENGTH (RAM) - _Min_Stack_Size)

_estack = (ORIGIN (RAM) + LENGTH (RAM))

In the Keil builds the initial stack is set to __initial_sp, and descends too Stack_Mem
