Can't compile for STM32F476 Discovery

Question

I get this error while trying to compile Hello World for STM32F476 Discovery.

Please suggest.

 

These are paths in file devenv.cmd :

set Toolchain_Path=C:\STM32\gcc-arm-none-eabi
set STM32Cube_Path=C:\STM32\STM32Cube_FW_F7
set ST-LINK_Utility_Path=C:\STM32\STLink\ST-LINK Utility
set STLINK_EXT_FLASH_LOADER=%ST-LINK_Utility_Path%/ExternalLoader/N25Q128A_STM32F746G-DISCO.stldr

 

This is my installation:

Hi,

Can you please check the following:

Open the console window (StartBuildEnvironment.bat) and insert the following:

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

What is the output?

Best regards,

Manfred.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I got this:

But when I checked with GCC command prompt, I got this:

---

Ok, please let me know the content of your directory C:\STM32\gcc-arm-none-eabi

---

I have one folder inside C:\STM32\gcc-arm-none-eabi

named, "7 2017-q4-major"

This is my path:

---

Now it's clear. The path within your devenv.cmd file does not match to the installation.

Move the content of \7 2017-q4-major directly into \gcc-arm-none-eabi and everything should be fine...

Does it work?

---

Yes, That worked like a charm.

Thanks a lot for your fast help.

Now, I try to open the project with keil uvision4, but I get this:

"The project file has a newer major version number which is not compatible with this programm version.

Reading project file aborted."

 

Could you please suggest what can be the problem.

---

I assume that your uvision is not compatible / too old version.

We verified it with MDK-ARM 5.24, ARM Compiler 5.06 update 5 (build 528)

---

Oh, Ok.

I will try it with GCC then.

Thanks for the help.

Have a good day!
