| 212 | == The memory definition for my STM chip seems wrong, how do I define a `memory.x` file? | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | It could happen that your project compiles, flashes but fails to run. The following situation can be true for your setup: | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | The `memory.x` is generated automatically when enabling the `memory-x` feature on the `embassy-stm32` crate in the `Cargo.toml` file. | ||
| 217 | This, in turn, uses `stm32-metapac` to generate the `memory.x` file for you. Unfortunately, more often than not this memory definition is not correct. | ||
| 218 | |||
| 219 | You can override this by adding your own `memory.x` file. Such a file could look like this: | ||
| 220 | ``` | ||
| 221 | MEMORY | ||
| 222 | { | ||
| 223 | FLASH (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 1024K | ||
| 224 | RAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 320K | ||
| 225 | } | ||
| 226 | |||
| 227 | _stack_start = ORIGIN(RAM) + LENGTH(RAM); | ||
| 228 | ``` | ||
| 229 | |||
| 230 | Please refer to the STM32 documentation for the specific values suitable for your board and setup. The STM32 Cube examples often contain a linker script `.ld` file. | ||
| 231 | Look for the `MEMORY` section and try to determine the FLASH and RAM sizes and section start. | ||
