Update from MBED OS 5 to 6 Causes unknown freeze

Mbed TLS Bug Reports / Issues

I have updated my MBED OS library from 5.15 to 6.13 and have replaced all the deprecated code. Now when i flashed the firmware to the MAX32630FTHR it just freezes and does not output anything to the serial console. I create all the classes that i use statically in the main. When disabling some of the classes the main function runs and prints out a message back to me. Here is my main.cpp code:

#include "Controller.h"
#include "Buttons.h"
#include "ErrorHandler.h"
#include <cstdint>
#include "SerialConstructor.h"
#include "gpio_regs.h"

static const std::string FirmwareVersion = "1.1.0.0";




ControllerEventQueue eventQueue;
UnbufferedSerial pc(P2_1, P2_0, 115200);
UnbufferedSerial blue(P0_1, P0_0, 115200); 
// BluetoothCOM ble(blue, pc); 
// I2C i2cACC(P1_6, P1_7);
// I2C i2cPMIC(P3_4, P3_5);
DigitalOut ceECG(P0_7);         // CE Chip enable pin MAX30001


// SPI spiECG(P0_5, P0_6, P0_4);   // MOSI, MISO, SCLK lines from MAX30001
// SPI spiFlash(P1_1, P1_2, P1_0); // MOSI, MISO, SCLK lines from ISSI chip
DigitalOut ceFlash(P1_3, 1);    // CE Chip enable pin flash memory, pulled high
DigitalOut resetFlash(P1_5, 1); // Reset pin serial flash memory, pulled high
// MAX30001 ecg(&spiECG, &ceECG);
// MAX30001_helper ecg_helper(ecg, pc);
// SerialFlash flash(spiFlash, ceFlash, resetFlash);
// PMIC pmic(i2cPMIC);
// FuelGauge fuelgauge(i2cPMIC);
// IMU imu(i2cACC);

DigitalIn intPMIC(P6_7);
DigitalIn intECG(P6_3);
DigitalIn intRtoR(P6_4);
DigitalIn intACC(P6_2);
DigitalIn PSUSwitch(P7_4, PullNone);
DigitalIn MCUSwitch(P5_6, PullNone);
// Buttons buttons(PSUSwitch, MCUSwitch, pmic);
DataManagement dataManagement;
Oscillator oscillator;

DigitalInOut greenLED(P7_1, PIN_OUTPUT, OpenDrain, 0);
DigitalInOut redLED(P7_2, PIN_OUTPUT, OpenDrain, 1);
DigitalInOut blueLED(P7_0, PIN_OUTPUT, OpenDrain, 1);
StatusLED statusLED(greenLED, redLED, blueLED);


// Controller controller(eventQueue, ble, pc, ecg_helper, intPMIC, intECG, intRtoR,
//                       intACC, pmic, imu, dataManagement,
//                       fuelgauge, statusLED, oscillator);

int main() {
    while(1)
    {
        char buffer[200]; int len = 0;
        len = snprintf(buffer, 200, "Power on. Firmware version: %s\n", FirmwareVersion.c_str());
        pc.write(buffer, len);
        ThisThread::sleep_for(200ms);
    }
  
//   while (true) {
//     controller.Run();
//   }
}

If i enable back one of the classes that are commented out the firmware does not work anymore.
MbedOS also does not throw an error. Does somebody know this problem?

Same thing here! The strange thing is when I disable some classes the code does run. Furthermore it shows no error or what so ever.

Hello @Niels_Evers,

Which compiler do you use?

I am asking as i have a project with MAX32630FTHR and MAX30003 so something similar to yours and after updating Mbed Studio V1.4 to 1.4.1 (wich also updates ARMC 6.14 to ARMC 6.15) i also lost most of my outputs that worked before. Seems like ARMC 6.15 compiler breaks something behind the scenes.

Try using GCC_ARM compiler, that solved my issues, though i am not sure if you are facing the same problem.

Thanks for your help. This indeed fixed the problem! Weird that its happening but now everything works! :grin: For people who are facing the same problem this is the link for how to use ARM_GCC instead of ARMC6. Switching to GCC - Installing | Mbed Studio Documentation
