Documentation issues in RM0316 rev 8

Hello everyone,

I've been reading the RM0316 Reference manual for STM32F303xB/C/D/E, STM32F303x6/8, STM32F328x8,

STM32F358xC, STM32F398xE advanced ARM � -based MCUs, DocID022558 Rev 8 and have noticed following issues:

Page 70, Page Erase section, item 1 states: 'Check that no Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the FLASH_CR register', but the FLASH_CR register does not contain BSY bit. I assume the authors meant FLASH_SR instead.

Page 73, Option Byte Programming, first paragraph contains the following sentence: 'If not, the program operation is skipped and a warning is issued by the WRPRTERR bit in the FLASH_SR register.' After testing this, I've noticed that at least the STM32F303VCT6 will respond by setting the PGERR bit in the FLASH_SR register. This behavior also matches what happens when attempting to overwrite regular non-erased flash memory.

Hi

‌,

You can do it here, in the STM32 forum. It will be helpful to precise that it is a documentation issue in the title of your post.

Hi

andreja.kostic

‌,

I agree with you that:

BSY bit belongs to FLASH_SR register not FLASH_CR

PGERR is setifthe value of the addressed option byte isn't erased when trying to program an option byte.

These typos are raised internally for F3 and F0 reference manuals.Thanks for reporting them.
