Jump to Bootloader in STM32 through User Flash Memory i.e using Boot 0 and Boot 1 Pins in Boot mode from User Flash memory

I have a requirement for firmware upgrade. I am planning to use USB DFU class. But command for firmware upgrade will come from PC application in my case . so i need to switch to bootloader which is there in System Memory. As initially i am running application so it is getting booted from User flash i.e i have Boot0 and Boot 1 pins configured for User flash. As DFU bootloader is there in System flash ,now for that Boot0 and Boot1 pins settings need to be changed . is there a way like Boot 0 and Boot 1 settings remain same as User Flash memory and in the application we jump to System Memory and use DFU for upgrading the firmware?

You could remap the system memory to address 0x00000000 via MEM_MODE bits in SYSCFG_MEMRMP register then load the SP with the value residing @ 0x00000000 and jump on the address pointed by 0x00000004.

By referring to the video Calling the STM32 SystemMemory Bootloader from your application i am using the below mentioned code. This code gets executed but still Dfuse application does not detects the STM device in DFM mode.

Even PC does not detects USB.

void BootLoaderinit(uint32_t BootLoaderStatus)

{

  

   

        JumpAddress = *(__IO uint32_t*) (0x1fff0004);

      JumpToBoot = (SysMemBootJump) JumpAddress;

  if(BootLoaderStatus == 1)

  {

      HAL_RCC_DeInit();

    SysTick->CTRL =0;

    SysTick->LOAD=0;

    SysTick->VAL=0;

    

   __set_PRIMASK(1);

     /* Initialize user application's Stack Pointer */

      __set_MSP(*(__IO uint32_t*) 0x20001000);

      JumpToBoot();

      

  }

  while(1);

  

}

It seems that the system memory resides on a different address for different chips:

- 0x1fff0000 for F4xx & F2xx devices

- 0x1fffb000 for F1xx connectivity line

- 0x1ffff000 for other F1xx devices

- 0x1fffd800 for F3xx devices

If you are using a direct call to system memory you need to check the exact address from the datasheet for the particular chip.

Probably because you're not entering in reset conditions. But rather than rehash this all over again.

This works for me on a STM32F4 device. Must be called in the beginning of main() based your ''enter bootloader condition'' (magic constant in RAM etc.):

#define BOOTLOADER_START_ADDR 0x1FFF0000

void JumpToBootLoader()

{

    __HAL_SYSCFG_REMAPMEMORY_SYSTEMFLASH();

    __set_MSP(*(__IO uint32_t*) 0x2001FFFF);

    void (*bootloader)(void) = (void(*)(void)) *((uint32_t *) (BOOTLOADER_START_ADDR + 4));

    bootloader();

}

__set_MSP((__IO uint32_t*) 0x20020000); // 32-bit aligned preferred, will predecrement, pretty sure you want the address, not the data that's at the address

Oops, your statement makes sense.

I noticed that the jump works without  the __set_MSP call at all.

Is it really needed?

It is more apt to succeed. This isn't how I transfer control. Several of the ROMs set the stack up again as part of the start up code. Keil also uses __initial_sp
