Hello Maciej,

I assume the problem is - as Yannis pointed out - the code triggers a write to flash which stops in some way  execution.

The commit "arch: arm: core: fix vector table relocate write to flash"
https://github.com/b0661/zephyr/commit/f171c8ca1b2e7398c97d2423c146392bc8e3c314

works for me on NUCLEO F091RC and I do not see any side effects (but who knows?).

I do not have a board that needs the relocation. So this is untested for such boards.

Nevertheless the commit passes my local sanity check.

If it works for Nucleo-F030R8 too I can prepare a pull request and see whether it passes CI.

Gentlemen,

thank you for your quick responses!

As I wanted to provide more info and debug output, I accidentally found the issue.

This little change in arch/arm/core/cortex_m/prep_c.c caused sys fatal error on my f0 board, even before the stm32f0_init.

Here is the commit:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commit/eb48a0a73c11c2a9cd4c3c91864ca4e0cf52dae8

And here are the specific changes causing problem:

When I deleted the new body of the relocate_vector_table function (to do nothing as it was) - blinky and hello world started to work fine again.

What should I do now? How to report it properly?

Thank you!

Yours faithfully,

Maciej Dębski

Hello,

I am developing support for nucleo board, with stm32f030r8 MCU. The goal was to compile and run the samples provided with Zephyr, blinky and hello_world.

I managed to finish the job, all was good, so I have done a pull request. Then, one of the reviewers pointed out that new approach to pinctrl nodes and uart pinctrl configuration in stm32 socs DT files was introduced. I was asked to do appropriate changes.

I modified my code to fit the Zephyr master. Sadly, blinky and hello_world have stopped working. The code itself is compiling and flashing fine. Just the board is reporting a fatal error before even my code is executed.

After checking the code over and over, I think I need help!

I believe most of the values are correct. I just do not fully understand the new dts/arm file structure, which is in Python, maybe I have missed something. Would you be so kind as to look at my code and help me find the issue?

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/1103

This is my pull request. I would focus on dts/arm and include/dt-bindings.

Yours faithfully,

Maciej Dębski
