Unable to compile FreeRTOS project

Hello,

I am currently experiencing issues with compiling a Makefile project for the STM32F103C8T6, generated by STM32CubeMX. The project has the FreeRTOS middleware enabled, with CMSIS V2.

Compilation of the generated code results in these errors:

https://pastebin.com/WJEXLh09

I believe the first error has something to do with a missing symbol/definition for CMSIS_device_header, but I am unsure as to which header file should be there instead. The other error seems to be a configuration error, but I, once again, have no idea what to do to fix it.

It's also worth noting that I was able to generate a project with the same settings and compile it previously. I don't recall tampering with anything that could have caused this breakage.

Hello @j0of, welcome to ST Community, 

Please re-attach the compilations errors, the link doesn't work! Or simply copy paste/paste, post a screenshot..

      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

As the message says, the #include directive needs to have the filename in either "double-quotes" or <angle-brackets>; ie, 

 

 #include "CMSIS_device_header"

 

or

 

 #include <CMSIS_device_header>

 

 

EDIT:

Presumably, CMSIS_device_header is (or should be) #defined somewhere - so that #define should include the quotes.

Maybe it is (or should be) a command-line define?

Hello Andrew, thank you for your response.

I also believe `CMSIS_device_header` was supposed to be defined somewhere else, but it may have not been defined/generated due to some sort of bug within CubeMX.

Upon further inspection, I concluded that the correct header is located within `Drivers/CMSIS/Devices/STM32F1xx/Include`, so I temporarily replaced the line `#include CMSIS_device_header` with `#include "stm32f103x6.h"` from this directory. This seems to have fixed a large majority of the errors, but compilation still resulted in the following:

make: *** [Makefile:183: build/cmsis_os2.o] Error 1

 I tried to fix it by changing the definition of `INCLUDE_xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle` located in file  `Middleware/Third_Party/FreeRTOS/Source/include/FreeRTOS.h` from 0 to 1. It then resulted in this compilation error once again:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:191: build/testete.elf] Error 1

Any other ideas? Was there a step I missed when generating the project, or is this just ST's problem?

Did you select the proper configuration  parameters?  Please check the freeRTOSConfig.h. this is w.r to your previous error

#include CMSIS_device_header  is valid syntax, it means that CMSIS_device_header is defined as "string" or <string>. In Keil toolchain this macro is defined as name of the MCU-specific .h file. For STM32 these .h files are in STM32Cube_FW_XXXX/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32XXxx\Include\stm32*.h

 

 

Dear j0of

       According to your way, I have fixed my error in my project. I trying to add freertos into my board which is stm32f103zet6. Maybe you should not generate Systick_Handler in NVIC setting. I hope it will help you.
