Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) link error in CubeIDE v2.1.1 (GNU tools 14.3.1)

[UVC100]

Hi 

I am using latest CubeMx Ver 16.7.0 and CubeIde Ver 2.1.1

while trying to compile a USB CDC code this error shows once i linked the code :

"

C:/Users/../../Hardware - General/../Electronics/../Software/USB_CDC_U0/USB_CDC_U0/Debug/../Core/Src/stm32u0xx_hal_msp.c:102:(.text.HAL_PCD_MspInit+0x4c): undefined reference to `MX_USB_CDC_Init'

C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_2.0.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.14.3.rel1.win32_1.0.100.202602081740/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/14.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: (MX_USB_CDC_Init): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in ./Core/Src/stm32u0xx_hal_msp.o

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [makefile:65: USB_CDC_U0.elf] Error 1

 "

the called the function "MX_USB_CDC_Init" exist in the USB/Class/CDC  dir, and the H file hold the function prototype and referenced from the "stm32u0xx_hal_msp.c" file

I have attached the project 

Please help

I think this is the key:

See recent threads:

Seems to relate to a recent Assembler change:

Hi

I have read all the similar solution before and try all of them: 

1. update the CubeIde .

2. Update CubeMx. 

3. There was a suggestion to update the GCC tools - I have the latest GCC tools (according to the tool manager in the CubeIDE) 

4. There was a suggestion to delete some system files and re-generate them with the CubeMx - not working  

Sorry, not working for me

Specifically, GNU Tools for STM32 (13.3.rel1) - is that the version you have ?

Hi Andrew ,

Thank you for the fast replay, 

I have 14.3rel1 gnu tools installed in my CUBEIDE - as I understand the tool version is newer and suppose to include all the changes and updates done in 13.3rel1?

[Andrew Neil]

Looking back at that thread where 13.3.rel1 was accepted as the solution, the original problem was reported with GNU tools for STM32 14.3.1.

So it's 14.3.1 which introduces the problem - therefore you need to downgrade to 13.3.1 to fix it.

Hi Andrew ,

I have installed version  13.3.rel1, clean the files and re compile the code :

I have a different error from linker "undefined reference to the same function" although the function referenced in the files.

Probably time to mark this thread as solved, and start a new thread for the other error?

Give a link here to the new thread;

Include a link in the new thread back to this one, for reference, if you think it helps.
