stm32 HardFault_Handler after reset - c

Question

I am currently developing a stm32f103C8 based pcb. The current project state can be viewed in this GitHub Project.
The problem that I am facing, is that I can not run the code without debugging the device.
My Question is: what can I do to make the code run without the debugger?
Setup
PCB
I use the following Schematic. Currently the battery managment and the external clock is not populated. So I use the interal oscillator. I power the device through 5V source which is regulated by the voltage regulator.
Programming
I use a st-link v2 with SWD. Only swclk, swdio and gnd are connected.
For developing the application code I use cubemx (ide and code generator).

What I have tested
when diconnecting Boot0 and Boot1 from GND I can run the code with the debugger normally
when connecting Boot0 and Boot1 to GND the debugger directly jumps to the HardFault_Handler
the code never runs when connected to Boot0 and Boot1 without debugger.
Voltage level is stable
There is no difference in the behavior when resetting the MCU with power cycling and NRST.

Answer 1

It is enough boot0 toi be connected to GND. Boot1 means something only if the boot0 is high.
Instant hard fault after the reset usually indicates that the initial stack address is invalid (offset 0 in the Vector Table)
Check the linker script if you have the correct one.
If you use atollic studio or STM32CUBE IDE you can use hard fault plugin - which makes all the hard job for you (taking stuff from the stack and reading the appropriate system registers)
