If I setup custom string USB string descriptors in the CDC Middleware configuration...

0690X00000608FwQAI.png

..these strings will be generated to the usbd_desc.c file in the following format:

/** @defgroup USBD_DESC_Private_Defines
 * @{
 */ 
#define USBD_VID 1155
#define USBD_LANGID_STRING 1033
#define USBD_MANUFACTURER_STRING ''Digitroll Ltd.''
#define USBD_PID_FS 22336
#define USBD_PRODUCT_STRING_FS ''XLiNE-USB Converter''
#define USBD_SERIALNUMBER_STRING_FS ''00000000001A''
#define USBD_CONFIGURATION_STRING_FS ''CDC Config''
#define USBD_INTERFACE_STRING_FS ''CDC Interface''�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?

When compiling this code with gcc I got the following warnings:

pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'USBD_GetString' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign] usbd_desc.c /xlineusb/Src line 76 C/C++ Problem�?

It is because the the USBD_getString expects unsigned pointer:

void USBD_GetString (uint8_t *desc, uint8_t *unicode, uint16_t *len);�?

I would recommend to generate the USB descriptor strings in the following format to prevent these warnings:

/** @defgroup USBD_DESC_Private_Defines
 * @{
 */ 
#define USBD_VID 1155
#define USBD_LANGID_STRING 1033
#define USBD_MANUFACTURER_STRING (uint8_t*)(''Digitroll Ltd.'')
#define USBD_PID_FS 22336
#define USBD_PRODUCT_STRING_FS (uint8_t*)(''XLiNE-USB Converter'')
#define USBD_SERIALNUMBER_STRING_FS (uint8_t*)(''00000000001A'')
#define USBD_CONFIGURATION_STRING_FS (uint8_t*)(''CDC Config'')
#define USBD_INTERFACE_STRING_FS (uint8_t*)(''CDC Interface'')�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?

Thanks in advance an let me know if you need any further details!

Hi Maton, 

I'm not able for the moment to reproduce your issue with TrueStudio and SW4STM32, could you please share your ioc it will be helpful for debug.
