STM32F746-Disco - QSPI Failed to initialize external memory inside Cube IDE but all there are no problems using ST-LINK

[Ciuffoly www.audiodesignguide]

This is my configuration in the include file (settings2.h) with the data to fix in the QSPI during the program phase

#ifndef IMG_NO_DATA
#if defined ( __ICCARM__ )
#pragma location = ".textqspi"
#else
__attribute__((section(".textqspi")))
#endif
 
const unsigned char text1[100000] = "pippo";
 
#else
 
extern const unsigned char text1[];
 
#endif

}

and this setting N25Q128_STM32F746-DISCO

 

the compile phase now it is ok

I see the QSPI data in the STM32746G_Ver31.map

 

but I get the error during the flash phase of the external QSPI

Failed to initialize external memory!
 
Error in initializing ST-LINK device.

 solved with ST-LINK Server and this settings

Using the ST-LINK outside the CubeWorkspace it run

 

and I see the value "pippo"
