Can't compile uTaskerV1.4 on Keil uVsion 5
« on: May 15, 2024, 12:10:34 PM »
I am just starting to use utasker for my class as supplementary tool for students. Hopefully this tool will help students to gain some more understanding about Arm programming. So, I am trying to get familiar with utasker which seems not to be an easy job. Anyway, currently I try to use Keil uVision 5 to build uTaskerV1.4 which is downloaded from https://github.com/uTasker/uTasker-Kinetis. I've followed the instruction in "Kinetis Compiler/IDE Information" page (https://www.utasker.com/kinetis/compilers.html#KEIL) and also from youtube "uTasker SHORT Getting Started - From GIT to KDS build" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ScSgpgQ6M&t=311s). Then, when I build the project there will be an error message about ".\Objects\uTaskerV1_4_BM.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol wfi (referred from kinetis.o)." The following message is output when I build the project in Keil uVision 5:

I use Arm compiler version 6, and already modify parameter in "Asm" Tab and "Linker" Tab in "Option for Target" of uVision's project accordingly (I use FRDM-K64F Board). It seems like the linker can't found "__wfi()" in "kinetis.co". I am not sure whether this error is from unsupport feature of ARMv7 or not (I guess). Can u suggest about how to solve this problem ?

Hi

I believe that newer versions of the KEIL compiler have become more GCC compatible and they removed the instrinsic __wifi().

In kinetis.c change

#define __sleep_mode()        __wfi()

to

#define __sleep_mode()        __asm__("wfi")

If this also doesn't work disabled SUPPORT_LOW_POWER in config.h as the instruction is only needed when using the processor's wait mode (to save power when the core has nothing to do).

I see that you are building the target "uTaskerV1.4-BM". This target works together with the uTasker boot loader so it may be easier for you to start with the "uTaskerV1.4" target [you can select the target to be built in the IDE] instead otherwise you will need to build and install the loader before you can test some operation.

Regards

Hi, Mark

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. The project is able to compiled successfully now (with target"uTaskerV1.4" as you recommend). So, I will try to flash FRDM-K64 board and see how it will go.
