Hi,

I tried the STM32CubeMX to generating the code and importing it in AC6 SWorkbench IDE. The API works, and I am using all the startup files from ST.

Now to use a framework I wrote, I do not need the automatic code generation, as the basics will be taken care of by the framework.
So I generated the project from AC6 and selecting my MCU (STM32F103C8T6), but the startup file generated is fairly different from the one used by STM.
I see different entries in the IVT, I do not see the boot RAM entry and the rest of the code is different. I am not expecting to see differences in the IVT, but the one in AC6 actually comprehends also entries of the higher range devices of the same family. This to me sounds like a red flag for nasty bugs.
So far I would continue by using instead the template from ST startup_stm32f103xb.s and trash the one generated by AC6, called startup_stm32.s

You can reproduce this by making a project from STM32CubeMX and comparing the startup by making the project fully inside EWB.

Do you know why I see this difference?

Thanks,
