From the Visual Studio Project I excluded all files from Appdata/../com.sysprogs.arm.stm32/…
except <AppData>\Local\VisualGDB\EmbeddedBSPs\arm-eabi\com.sysprogs.arm.stm32\STM32F4xxxx-HAL\startup_stm32f4xx.c

The Keil compiler use C99. For gcc append  –std=c99 in VDGB Property, Makefile settings, CFLAGS.

So I can develop & debug in Visual Studio & Resharper C++ & VisualGDB, which is more comfortable as the Keil IDE.
The release I build with the Keil compiler. A project based on the  CubeMX UDP_Echo_Server  result in FLASH size ( release build, in Keil -O3:)
gcc: 70 kB: .text=66kB .data=3048
Keil V5.04: Program Size: Code=34172 RO-data=732 RW-data=964 ZI-data=28060

Now it works:

in the debug.mak I add  all the above includes (replaced “-I..\” by “”) after after INCLUDE_DIRS :=.

Add all c files to the solution. There is an conflict between the hal files in the Project (copied by CubeMX) and the files in folder Appdata/../com.sysprogs.arm.stm32/… So I removed this hal files from the project.

That’s all 🙂

This is not a legacy ARM device. It is a STM32F4 which is directly supported from VDGB.

It would be very useful if there is an option to import a Keil Project.

Lagacy tutorial :

Where should I find some Compiler flags? Is it the ‘Compiler Control String’ from the Target Options Dialog, Tab C/C++? It is:

-c –cpu Cortex-M4 -D__MICROLIB -g -O0 –apcs=interwork –split_sections -I..\Inc -I..\User -I..\Drivers\STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver\Inc -I..\Drivers\STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver\Inc\Legacy -I..\Drivers\CMSIS\Include -I..\Drivers\CMSIS\Device\ST\STM32F4xx\Include -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\system -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\ipv4 -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\system\arch -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\ipv4\lwip -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\lwip -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\netif -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\posix -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\include\posix\sys -I..\Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\netif\ppp –C99
