SysTick_Handler not called, STM32G070 (and 2024 release)

[XR.1]

SysTick_Handler() function isn't called in a project based upon the STM32G070CB mcu (48 terminals). However, with the STM32G070RB (64 terminals (NUCLEO-G070RB)) there aren't any issues.

 

I found this workaround from 3 years ago (almost 4):

This post goal is to help others naive programmers like me (that trusted in ST) in case they ever face the same problem:

// system_stm32g0xx.c:
void SystemInit(void)
{
 /* Configure the Vector Table location -------------------------------------*/
 #if defined(USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS)
 SCB->VTOR = VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS | VECT_TAB_OFFSET; /* Vector Table Relocation */
 #endif /* USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS */
 SCB->VTOR = FLASH_BASE; // <---------------- WORKAROUND!
}

Why is the mapping wrong in the first place? Issue with BOOT0 floating or BOOTx option bytes?

"Why is the mapping wrong in the first place? Issue with BOOT0 floating or BOOTx option bytes?"

I have no idea. This is a fresh project ("Hello world") created completely in the CubeIDE, featuring the STM32G070CB mcu (48 terminals); the Systick interrupt just didn't trigger until I applied the workaround.

When before I created a previous HelloWorld project for the NUCLEO-G070RB (64 terminals) there weren't any issues.

Modify the SystemInit function in system_stm32g0xx.c to include the workaround

 

void SystemInit(void)
{
 #if defined(USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS)
 SCB->VTOR = VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS | VECT_TAB_OFFSET; /* Vector Table Relocation */
 #else
 SCB->VTOR = FLASH_BASE; // Ensure the vector table is set to the flash base
 #endif
}

Hello,

I didn't understood the issue.

The system_stm32g0xx.c file is common to STM32G070CB  and STM32G070RB (NUCLEO board).

Why you did suppose it's working on STM32G070RB (Nucleo) but not on STM32G070CB? 

Just activate the definition:

#define USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS

VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS is by default in the Flash (if you didn't activate VECT_TAB_SRAM definition):

/* #define VECT_TAB_SRAM */
#if defined(VECT_TAB_SRAM)
#define VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS SRAM_BASE /*!< Vector Table base address field.
 This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */
#define VECT_TAB_OFFSET 0x00000000U /*!< Vector Table base offset field.
 This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */
#else
#define VECT_TAB_BASE_ADDRESS FLASH_BASE /*!< Vector Table base address field.
 This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */
#define VECT_TAB_OFFSET 0x00000000U /*!< Vector Table base offset field.
 This value must be a multiple of 0x200. */
#endif /* VECT_TAB_SRAM */
#endif /* USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS */

Hi,

I didn't understood the issue.

A fresh HelloWorld project created with the CubeIDE for the STM32G070CB mcu don't trigger the SysTick interrupt.

 

The system_stm32g0xx.c file is common to STM32G070CB  and STM32G070RB (NUCLEO board).

It seems to be for me also.

 

Why you did suppose it's working on STM32G070RB (Nucleo) but not on STM32G070CB? 

I have no idea, but applying the workaround the SysTick interrupt triggers as expected and my LED is blinking now.

 

According with the Eclipse IDE the code isn't active:

The USER_VECT_TAB_ADDRESS constant is neither defined for the CB nor the RB variants. However, it worked as a charm for the RB one.

 

BTW, I'm using the 1.12.1 IDE release (from 20230420). Latest releases need a constant Internet connection and they ask me to login in order to do my job (Really, ST?), and I don't want to login (neither I want the IDE to be retrieving data from the Internet constantly).

 

For the sake of completness let me show you my schematic:

UM_6.3.1 says that SWCLK has a pull-down resistor, so I guess that, for debugging purposes, I don't need neither R100 nor R101:

Greetings!
