Hi,
I am evaluating the Rowley IDE, so I would try the FreeRTOS demo, CORTEX_STM32F103_GCC_Rowley.
FreeRTOS is ver 10.1.1, Rowley is ver 4.3.

There are some problems when building this demo.

A target processor is the defined: #define __TARGET_PROCESSOR STM32F103C8

A such file, STM32F103C8.h is not found in the FreeRTOS folders or in the Rowley folders.
The file is included in SPI_Flash_ST_Eval.h.
Excluding helps the build: // #include “stm32f10x.h”
BUT

Then the linking failes:

So what now?

That demo is rather old, so it might be that it is not compatible with
the latest Rowley tools - however first off - did you just install the
Rowley tools, or did you also install Rowley’s support package for the
MCU you are using? As I recall support for each MCU family has to be
downloaded separately (from Rowley).

I have downloaded and installed the support packages for the STM32.
For your info, I have tried to build the CORTEX_STM32F107_GCC_Rowley demo, and this builds perfect. So I think the problem must be found in the CORTEX_STM32F103_GCC_Rowley demo
