Question

TrueSTUDIO for STM32 9.0.0 with BlueNRG-1?

Hi,

I got my STEVAL-IDB007V1M with the SPBTLE-1' (based on BlueNRG-1 and installed the STSW-BLUENRG1-DK (v2.6.0). With the help of Antonio (

https://community.st.com/0D50X00009XkWquSAF

) I know, the STEVAL-IDB007V1M works as it should.

I installed Atollic TrueSTUDIO for STM32 9.0.0, I imported the BLE_SensorDemo project as described in 'SensorDemo_BlueMS_main.c File Reference'. I can build the project - when I flash the Release.hex file to the BlueNRG-1 with the 'BlueNRG-1 Flasher' nothing happens on the BlueNRG-1.

Same with Micro_Hello_World :(

What's wrong?

I set the HS_SPEED_XTAL=HS_SPEED_XTAL_32MHZ in BLE_SensorDemo and I already switched the optimization level to -O0 in the compiler settings of the projects.

TIA, best regards

Wolfgang

Hi all

   I have the same problem as Wolfgang. I compiled BLE_Beacon example with newest TrueStudio under Windows 7, under Linux, and I even used my own toolchain, all 3 with no luck whatsoever. I Flashed the binary both using the flasher application provided by ST, and using ST-link via SWD interface. The program crashes with the following stacktrace:

1 HardFault_Handler         BlueNRG1_it.c     68  0x10040ac8

2 ??                                              0xfffffff9

3 IDD_Initialize_Device_IDs                       0x10054df0

4 GAP_Init                                        0x10043a7c

5 aci_gap_init                                    0x100434ce

6 Device_Init               BLE_Beacon_main.c 75  0x100408e2

7 main                      BLE_Beacon_main.c 210 0x10040a66

But since BLE stack is provided only in binary, I am unable to investigate what's happening inside.

At the same time I was able to successfully run the GPIO/IOToggle example, but as you might expect it does not use the BLE stack. Later on I checked all the BLE examples, and none of them (I mean when compiled with TrueStudio by me) worked.

At this point I suspect some misconfiguration in the projects (?) Also, it would be wise to check non-GCC compilers as well, but I have no experience with them. BTW does anybody know what compiler ST uses for the examples bundled in the SW package (I mean those in the 'firmware' directory)?

I managed to finally run BLE_Beacon but unfortunately I compiled it with my own cross compiler (GCC based). The stacktrace and the error I posted above was due to me using BlueNRG2.ld instead of BlueNRG1.ld during linking. Apparently those 'device_ids' are stored at the very end of flash memory, which in case of BlueNRG2 is slightly bigger. Thus my NRG1 was trying to write onto nonexistent flash. I still don't know why projects compiled with TrueStudio don't work though, and I would love to know this.

Hi once again. Piotr Romaniuk, who is also active on this forum suggested that you should add 

-mcpu=cortex-m0 to compilation options.

Indeed!!!

I spent couple of hours until I found that ISR code contains non Thumb instructions.

After specification of sub-architecture compiled code is ok.

Hi,

I have same problem. I can not build a running bin/hex for STEVAL-IDB007V1M with TrueStudio 9.01.

Is there a solution?

I tried with IAR -> no problem, but I'm looking for a cheap solution :)

Thanks!

Robert
