STM32WB55 : EE_WriteVariable8bits returns EEPROM_WRITE_ERROR and FLASH_FLAG_BSY is set in FLASH->SR

[TGUCL.1]

Hi

I have been having problems with Eeprom Emulation API lately.

I`m trying to write a byte to 0x20 using EE_WriteVariable8bits but the return value is EEPROM_WRITE_ERROR. I noticed before execting Write , FLASH_FLAG_BSY  is set in FLASH.SR

I call XXXFlashRead() to read some application variables at the beginning which performs mandatory EE_Init() according to AN4894

void XXXFlashRead(void) {
	EE_Status ee_status = EE_OK;
	/*
	 Unlock the Flash Program Erase controller
	 Unlock the Flash Program Erase controller*/
	HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
 
	/*Set EEPROM emulation firmware to erase all potentially incompletely erased
	 pages if the system came from an asynchronous reset. Conditional erase is
	 safe to use if all Flash operations where completed before the system reset*/
	if (__HAL_PWR_GET_FLAG(PWR_FLAG_SB) == RESET) {
 
		/*		System reset
		 comes from a power -on reset: Forced Erase Initialize EEPROM emulation driver( mandatory)*/
		ee_status = EE_Init(EE_FORCED_ERASE);
		if (ee_status != EE_OK) {
			Error_Handler();
		}
	} else {
		// Clear the Standby flag
		__HAL_PWR_CLEAR_FLAG(PWR_FLAG_SB);
 
		// Check and Clear the Wakeup flag
		if (__HAL_PWR_GET_FLAG(PWR_FLAG_WUF) != RESET) {
			__HAL_PWR_CLEAR_FLAG(PWR_FLAG_WUF);
		}
 
		/* System reset comes from a STANDBY wakeup: Conditional Erase
		 Initialize EEPROM emulation driver (mandatory)*/
		ee_status = EE_Init(EE_CONDITIONAL_ERASE);
		if (ee_status != EE_OK) {
			Error_Handler();
		}
	}
 
#if (PRODUCT_TYPE == PRODUCT_BACNET)
	uint8_t Index = 1;
 
	//Flash Address :1 to 10 - Read BACnet Device Name from Flash
	for (Index = 1; Index < 10; Index++) {
 
		ee_status |= EE_ReadVariable8bits(Index,
				&Config.deviceName[Index - 1]);
	}
 
	//Flash Address :11 - Read BACnet Device Instance Number
	ee_status |= EE_ReadVariable8bits(11, &Config.deviceInstance);
 
	//Flash Address :12 - Read MSTP Address from Flash
	ee_status |= EE_ReadVariable8bits(12, &Config.mstpAddress);
#else
	if ((EE_ReadVariable32bits(EEPROM_BAUDRATE_ADDR, &Config.baud)
			& EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR ) == EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR) {
		Error_Handler();
	}
 
	if ((EE_ReadVariable8bits(EEPROM_MODBUS_SLAVE_ADDR,
			&Config.modbusSlaveAddr) & EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR )
			== EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR) {
		Error_Handler();
	}
	if ((EE_ReadVariable8bits(EEPROM_FW_UPDATE_ADDR, &isFWUpdateEnable)
			& EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR ) == EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR) {
		Error_Handler();
	}
#endif
 
	//Start cleanup IT mode, if cleanup is needed
	if ((ee_status & EE_STATUSMASK_CLEANUP ) == EE_STATUSMASK_CLEANUP) {
		ErasingOnGoing = 1;
		ee_status |= EE_CleanUp_IT();
	}
	if ((ee_status & EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR ) == EE_STATUSMASK_ERROR) {
		Error_Handler();
	}
 
	HAL_FLASH_Lock();
}

This is where the Write is called after receving a command from Modbus Client.

EE_WriteVariable8bits returns EE_WRITE_ERROR. Before executing EE_WriteVariable8bits I checked the FLASH.SR and the

void XXXFlash_SetFWUpdate(uint8_t isFwUpdate) {
	EE_Status ee_status = EE_OK;
 
	//Unlock the Flash Program Erase controller
	HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
 
 
	__HAL_FLASH_CLEAR_FLAG(FLASH_FLAG_ALL_ERRORS) ;
 
 
	if (isFwUpdate == 1)
		ee_status = EE_WriteVariable8bits(EEPROM_FW_UPDATE_ADDR, 0x55);
	else
		ee_status = EE_WriteVariable8bits(EEPROM_FW_UPDATE_ADDR, 0x22);
 
 
 
	/* Test is completed successfully
	 Lock the Flash Program Erase controller*/
	HAL_FLASH_Lock();
 
}

Screenshot the expression window

If I let debugger run , Hard Fault Handler is called. LAst know location is HAL_FLASH_Lock();

This functionality was working until few days ago where I was running some test and received an exception (I can`t remember the details) and I restarted debugger which migh left the flash in an odd state.

Full chip erase works using Cube Programmer

 

I was wondering if anyone knows resoution for this issue.

Thanks
