STM32CubeMx does not generate TrueStudio after update (from 5.1 and upwards)

WGend.15 · ‎2020-03-09

Hello There,

I've been working on a big firmware for some time (freeRTOS, LWip, etc...). It is based on CubeMX 4.27 and firmware package 1.12.

I was trying to update today to get the latest version of freeRTOS (10) and LWIP (2).

When using original tools (cubeMX 4.27 and firmware package 1.12) code is generated fine. I was able to upgrade up to version 5.01 of cubeMX without code generation problem.

Trying to get to a version greater than 5.01 generates this popup (5.1, 5.2 or 5.6) :

In the log file of cubeMX (C:\Users\wt********\.stm32cubemx\STM32CubeMX.log)

I can see this :

2020-03-09 15:35:02,366 [ERROR] FreeRTOS:936 - Null or empty value: should not occur! (nothing added to the table)

and later this :

Not sure if the two events are related... I'm attaching the log file to this post

I've seen a lot of post about this issue in Keil, but not in trueSTUDIO.

If I take the IOC file and do a "save as" I am able to generate the project ok but all my code is lost...

Can someone provide me a procedure to be able to update to the new firmware package version to have freeRTOS 10 and lwip updated ?

Thanks !
