Question

Why did the behavior of the ST-Link CLI command -Run change?

Hi,

we are using the CLI of the st-link utility to flash some STM32-controller in the production. Now I had to install a newer version (CLI v2.0.0 vs. CLI v3.0.0) to support the STM32F413.

With this new version  the behavior of the -Run command changed. In v2.0.0 the -Run command will automatically start the application after programming. In v3.0.0 it leads to a prompt 'run application to exit', which has to be confirmed by pressing ENTER.

Before the -Run command was useful to automate manual steps, now it adds another. Is there a way to skip the prompt?

Any news on when V3.1.0 will be there? I've got the same problem. I'm not able to use the CLI for automating the process now.

Hello, Has it been released?

We have issues with CLI command on STM32L479 512 Kb with SWD, seems few bugs.

- whenever we touch the option byte, the dual bank is selected, it is impossible to select single bank

- as soon as the read out protection is set to 1 the memory returns to dual  bank, then the upper 256K bank is erased

- it is impossible to run the application with the Run command, CLI returns no target connected

- the '-Rst' command has no effect.

Please let me know we need a fix very urgently.

Thanks for your help.

B.Rgds/F

As a temporary workaround you can use a VBScript (a text file with *.vbs extension) to send the Enter key, I'm currently not on a Windows machine to try, but something like this should work:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell')

WshShell.Run('D:\Utils\st-link.exe -foo -bar', 9)

WScript.Sleep 5000

WshShell.SendKeys '{ENTER}'
