Hi all,

I have this problem: When I download my firmware on the discovery EVM (using ST-link) eve1rything goes right and when I power up again the board (after a power-off) the firwmare is present. When I do the same thing on my hardware using JTAG and Jlink tool everything goes right when the board is power. When I turn on the board after a power down nothing happens (I turn on some led to indicate the firmware is running) and I have to connect the board at jtag and reload the firmware to run it again. Can someone help me? Thanks, Luca Lombardini P.S Here the IAR log when my hardware is connected to Jlink: Fri Aug 24, 2012 15:30:15: Loaded macro file: C:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.4\arm\config\flashloader\ST\FlashSTM32F4xxx.mac Fri Aug 24, 2012 15:30:16: JLINK command: ProjectFile = C:\arm\Progetti\MECFES II (V10.0) step 2\settings\MECFES_II_Debug.jlink, return = 0 Fri Aug 24, 2012 15:30:16: Device ''STM32F407VG'' selected (1024 KB flash, 128 KB RAM).

You'll probably want to read back the content to understand what's happening and why it is not running at start up.

If you have options to ''Verify after Write'' or similar, check those. Check if performing a Full Erase prior to writing the flash helps. Check that you have the most up to date drivers and firmware for the J-Link. If the problem persists, talk to IAR and Segger.
