Is .fpu incorrect in startup_stm32f411xe.s?

[Singh.Harjit]

In startup_stm32f411xe.s, the FPU seems to be incorrectly declared. It is:

.fpu softvfp

Shouldn't it be:

.fpu fpv4-sp-d16

I checked other files in the same family and they also have the softvfp declaration.

Is it throwing a warning at link time?

Do you actually have any FPU instructions in the start-up assembler?

[Singh.Harjit]

I'm not getting any warnings.

I don't have any FPU instructions in the startup code.

I do enable and use the FPU in startup code.

I was concerned about declaring incorrect / inconsistent FPU information with the rest of the code base.

I don't think this is consequential.

If you use FPU instructions in the file you'll need to pick a hardware options that covers the instructions in question, so things like push/pop of the float/double registers don't throw errors, for example.

I checked everything today and worked as expected. Thanks.

Just moved from a custom board that used STMG0 to a STM32H723. I am so ecstatic to finally be able to figure out TCM, Cache Write back, and just trying to unlock every bit of performance. Kind of bit more than i can chew with a huge project but it feels like i have injected crack. Its fun.
