Two Flash Loader Problems

Here's an update on problem 1:

If I first erase all of the flash except the page I want to write data to, the download with no erase works. However, this is annoying to do in the GUI every time so I'd like to get the command line tool working.

I'm still looking for suggestions for Problem 2.

Thanks,

Jake

Trevor,  can you post the v2.1 files?

Also, there's a mistake in the command I typed above. It should say:

    

STM32_High-density_512K

not:

    

STM32_High-density_512K.STMAP

(Both don't work)

Thanks,

Jake

I'm having the same problem as in 1 since upgrading from V2.1 to to V2.2 (wasted a whole day). I use command line version. I'm having to do a global erase to get round this issue which is a huge pain and in a production scenario will not be possible. I did a quick diff of the source codes but nothing seemed to have changed in this area. Thinking of downgrading to get this working again.

Hi Jake,

Unfortunately I don't have the old version (I remember now looking for it a few weeks back). I can't even find the new download section on this new ST web site which to me seems really difficult to use. Anyone got an old installer for the flash loader? Anyone got a link to where tools like the flash loader now live? Anyone else using firefox with this new web site?

Regards

Trevor

FYI link is here to current flash loader (V2.2.0)

http://www.st.com/stonline/stappl/resourceSelector/app?page=resourceSelector&doctype=SW_DEMO&ClassID=1734

http://www.st.com/stonline/stappl/resourceSelector/app?page=resourceSelector&doctype=SW_DEMO&ClassID=1734

File is um0462.zip. So if anyone has a um0462.zip with V2.1 in it please post.

Any chance of someone from ST acknowledging this problem with V2.2 of flash loader? As many have said before a public bug tracker for tools and firmware libraries would be very useful.

Thanks

Trevor

Please, Please ST can you make older versions of the flash loader available (specifically V2.1.0) or better still fix the problem with V2.2.0. This can be your Christmas present to us hard working developers.

At 7 MB a piece, I don't think they'll attach here.

I have 2.0 and 2.1, which I can email to accounts that will accept ZIP/EXE files.

Thanks a lot. I'll give v2.1 a shot.

I solved my command line problem. I was running the flash loader from a different directory.

Merry Christmas,

Jake

Well hot damn, they attached. They are on the previous post, but here are some links.

Thanks Clive1. Much appreciated.

All working again now I have uninstalled V2.2 and installed V2.1. This is proof that there is a problem when erasing some sectors (as opposed to erasing all ) that was introduced in V2.2.
