I switched from Atollic TrueSTUDIO to STM32CubeIDE on a trial basis to see how the program feels. We were able to import our project without any problems. Some settings had to be made, but then we were able to compile the project successfully. It is noticeable that with two identical projects (and in my opinion the same project settings) two .elf files of different sizes are created by TrueSTUDIO and STM32CubeIDE.
Nevertheless we could flash the code and start the program. I reached the breakpoint in the main() as well. So far, everything seems fine. Unfortunately the program crashes when the scheduler is started after the whole hardware initialization.
We are using FreeRTOS. The same program ran in TrueSTUDIO without any problems.
For test purpose I tried to replace the .elf file of STM32CubeIDE with the one from TrueSTUDIO already and flash it as well. This leads to the same crash.
What is the problem? Where can I look up? I guess it is a problem with settings. But I can't figure out which one causes the problem, because everything in TrueSTUDIO and STM32CubeIDE looks the same to me in the first step.
We use a STM32F767NI (CubeIDE shows now STM32F767NIHx - whatever the Hx means) with Segger J-Link as debugger and STM32CubeIDE 1.1.0.
Project settings I changed (were not imported correctly from TrueSTUDIO):
- Builder type: Internal builder
- Build settings: Enable parallel build
- Floating-point unit: FPv5-D16
- Floating-point ABI: Hardware implementation
- MCU GCC Linker General: Add symbol cross referance table to map file
All other project settings get imported correctly.
For debugger settings:
- I needed to create a new configuration
- create STM32 Cortex-M C/C++ Application
- changed debug probe to Segger J-Link
- choose Interface SWD
- SWV enabled and set core clock settings
