I switched to version STM32CubeIDE_1.5.1. Slightly corrected the .ioc file, changing the version of CubeMX. In this form, everything starts! Later, maybe my problem will be solved in the new additions to the release of STM32CubeIDE_1.6.0. When I sit down at a work computer that also has an update installed, I try to figure it out. I will follow the topic.

> I am actually using the project with SmartGit (advanced Git GUI software) and have never configured the project for Git in CubeIDE.

Same here. Using SmartGit, it works well, never attempted to mess with Eclipse.

@ADmit.2​ Your build log says: multiple definition of SystemInit, SystemCoreeClockUpdate.

There's dupilcate file system_stm32xxxx.c

Review the project tree, find where the duplicate system_stm32xxxx.c comes from.

Thanks @Pavel A.​ , I just contacted SmartGit support and they also don't think this has something to do with SmartGit as it is just some utility on top of Git. BTW, do you have messages like this in your log:

org.eclipse.team.core.TeamException: Could not instantiate provider org.eclipse.egit.core.GitProvider for project

And regarding headless build: What does this chip.png file here actually refer to? Some image from the CubeMX config with a STM chip logo?

Managed Build system manifest file error: Could not load icon "icons/chip.png".

Thanks @Julien D_OEHAUDT​ . Fortunately the debugger prompts for toolchain every time it's missing so it gives opportunity to fix it.

Anyway, the latest toolchain should be better than previous...

Hello! Here's what I managed to find. And indeed, there are other duplicates. What to do with them, tell me? But how did that happen?

[ADmit.2]

So it will be a little better clear! ;)

Here's how it's defined. File "subdir.mk".
