I have the Blue Pill - STMF103C8Tx - using Atollic TrueStudio and CubeMX with FreeRTOS. In a task, I write to the LED port (C13) and all of port A and port B and I can only get an output using a VOM on ports A0->A3 (except for A9 and 10 which I'm using for the serial port which works fine). I set the outputs in CubeMX to pullup/push-pull. I've tried accessing the GPIOA->ODR directly and can't seem to get anything. I also have a STMF100 Discovery VL board which works find with the same code:

Code:
/* USER CODE END Header_StartTask02 */
void StartTask02(void const * argument)
{
  /* USER CODE BEGIN StartTask02 */
  /* Infinite loop */
	static int onoff = 0;
	for(;;)
	{
		if(onoff == 0)
		{

Did you enabled the RCC for portb?
Did you initialized pins as output? Default is analog input.
HAL_GPIO_WritePin may be a not a thread save function, also don't use static variables inside function. For now it is fine since you have only one thread. But you should be carefull using shared resources.
 

The ports used have all been initialized in a file called gpio.c in the init function. I could try to use a semaphore instead of a static variable in this case, I guess.
 

You don't have to. F103 has bitbang access to gpio. But in theory yes, you should.
If you wanna get a help about your issue, you need to provide full code.
Weird, that I have to explain that.

Re: STM32F103 (Blue Pill) can only get A0->A3 to work as outputs

This project was generated using STM32CubeMX with the Middleware set to 'FreeRTOS' and in the Project Settings->Code Gernerator the option to generate separate *.c/*.h files for each peripheral is set so there's a file called main.c, gpio.c usart,c freertos.c in the Src directory. Here's the full freertos.c but I'll try to send the zip'ed file of the whole project minus the debug directory as an attachment.

Re: STM32F103 (Blue Pill) can only get A0-&amp;gt;A3 to work as outputs

I just put the whole project up on github.com at: **broken link removed**

- - - Updated - - -

It's in gpio.c: MX_GPIO_Init()

- - - Updated - - -

Well, make a liar out of me: I uncommented some of the HAL_GPIO_TogglePin statements before I posted it so it doesn't show in the GPIO_Init function. Give me a second, I posted the wrong friggin files...

Somehow I put the wrong gpio.c up there in the above post and now I can't go back and edit it. So unless you go the the github link, I guess there's no way you'll understand it.

Yes, you have init code for PA0 PA1 PA2 PA3 only, not surprised why the rest is not working.
