Hello,

can the information be made available how the on-chip USB bootloader generates the serial number?

This would be helpfull when an application provides a DFU endpoint to jump to the built-in USB bootloader.  As long as the application  does not know how to generate the same serial number as the bootloader, the DFU application needs to know both serial numbers and both numbers need to be provides by the user.

Thanks

Hello

Bonnes.Uwe

‌,

The serial number is generated from the UID (3 words) of the chip combined as following:

  • Sum of first and third words used

  • Second word not modified

  • Convert the first and second words into Char.

It will be better to provide more details about your casein order

to help you achieve your goal:

What you want to do ? Do you want

enumerate DFU from flash then jumps to Bootloader ?

Hello,

with appended code I can reproduce the Bootloader Serial for F3 and F4:

extern char serial_no[13],

♯ if defined(UID_BASE)

 ,

uint16_t *uid_base = (uint16_t *)UID_BASE,

 ,

sprintf(serial_no, '%04X%04X%04X', uid_base[1] + uid_base[5], uid_base[0] + uid_base[4],

 ,

♯ if defined(MCU_STM32F3)

 ,

 , , , uid_base[5]), /* 5 fits for F3*/

 ,

♯ else

 ,

 , , , uid_base[3]), /* 3 fits for F4*/

 ,

♯ endif

 ,

♯ else

 ,

serial_no[0] = 0,

 ,

♯ endif

It seems F3 and F4 have slight differences!
