STM32L452CE CubeIDE default settings causes HardFault when setting flash latency

jeremyh · ‎2024-03-18

Hi,

I have created a project using CubeIDE 1.14.0 for the STM32L452CE. Inside the IOC editor, I changed the following things:

SYS => Debug set to Serial Wire
Project Manager => Advanced Settings => Set both RCC and GPIO to use LL instead of HAL

I then generated the code and fixed the broken linker script as outlined here: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/stm32l452ce-cubeide-linker-script-causes-hardfault-inside-reset/m-p/651426#M25207

When I build and flash the code, I get a hardfault when executing the line:

LL_FLASH_SetLatency(LL_FLASH_LATENCY_0);

The full code is below, but it is just the default code that is generated...

I ended up resolving this today - I lifted and replaced the chip with a new one, and it worked first time. So I'm going to put this one down to the ESD boogeyman I suppose. All of the flash latency modes were failing on the old one.

So set to using HAL only - and try.

>

SYS => Debug set to Serial Wire ok.
Set both RCC and GPIO to use LL instead of HAL

Why this ??

Is there something wrong with using the LL API?

AScha.3 · ‎2024-03-18

IF not working...seems so.

I try at first, to get something running , as it should. And HAL usually making this on the shortest time.

Playing around or improve speed is next - not first step. (Just my point of view - ymmv.)

I tried the HAL version, same problem. There is a hardfault at

__HAL_FLASH_SET_LATENCY(latency);

which roughly translates to the same code.

AScha.3 · ‎2024-03-19

So - dont get me wrong: i dont "love" the HAL - use the HAL (at first) and also look, is there a update, because sometimes errors in HAL are corrected (if this is an error in HAL and not some strange setup you try to start).

(Just from thinking: you are the only one, that reports this basic error, but for sure you are not the first and only, that use this cpu; so 99% this is something in your setup (hard-and software)....)

Then begin to find out, whats wrong: without new "generate code", just writing it in actual main, set latency to ( 0-> 1 , -> 2 ) and see, what comes out; then comment out this call, to check...

And check from rm, that you have a valid setting of selected supply (smps, LDO) and core voltage and speed setting.
