Question
Abnormal behaviour with STM32CubeMX
Hello,
Hope you're well. I started a project with CubeMX to use makefiles. I am able to compile and flash to the board but the code does not run properly on the f4 discovery board. To debug, I used Keil on a windows system and the code is actually working as expected(no changes made). Getting back to using make on my linux machine, the same code does not work properly on the board.
I then tried CubeIDE on linux and uploaded the code without any modifications and it works. So it leads me to believe that the problem is the cubemx generated makefile or it could be something else I am unaware about. I appreciate any help figuring this out, thank you.
Here is the current makefile
