clion uses arm gcc to compile code generated from cubemx file error

[chenmo]

I copied a cubemx ioc file successfully compiled by keil mdk to another empty folder and generated the file, but a link error was reported.

This is cmakelist:

i can't understand why this is error:

[Pavel A.]

This is linker (ld) error, it does not like something in the .ld file:

C:/Users/19242/Desktop/Manipulator_clion/STM32H723VGTX_FLASH.ld line 91

But you don't show us this file ((

 

[chenmo]

Because this is generated by cubemx itself, I don't think there are any major issues when I look at it

Remove "(READONLY)" in line 93 and everywhere below it.

.ARM.extab (READONLY) : /* The READONLY keyword is only supported in GCC11 and later, remove it if using GCC10 or earlier. */

 Or update your ARM toolchain to GCC 11 or newer as the comment says,

 

[chenmo]

thank you!!!!

it works!
