STM32CubeIDE generated xxx_FLASH.ld file does not include ALIGN(4) in some FLASH sections

[RajeevAroraCrcEvans]

Hi @Khouloud ZEMMELI 

I generated C code and other files after opening .IOC file in STM32CubeIDE (not STM32CubeMX).

I observe many FLASH sections in the STM32H753BITX_FLASH.ld file do not call ALIGN(4).

The left side file is the one that got generated after generating code, where is the right side file is the one that I have received from my colleague.

I hereby request that STM32CubeMX be updated to include the ALIGN(4) wherever necessary.

Regards,

Rajeev

Hello @RajeevAroraCrcEvans ,

Thank you for rising this up.

I escalated this issue internally to fix these linkers via Internal ticket number: 173671.

(PS: internal ticket number 173671 is not accessible or usable by customers).

It probably should align things, as the ARM ABI has expectations, and it is more efficient. CM0(+) prone to Hard Fault on misalignment, and a lot of the STM32 have 32, 64, 128-bit FLASH lines
