I am trying to flash a 32gb sd card with stlinux for STM32MP157C-DK2 using the guide at https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157C-DK2/Let%27s_start/Populate_the_target_and_boot_the_image

The SD card that came with the kit boot perfectly, I just want to flash another sd card.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my laptop

details about my STM32MP157C-DK2

Serial number(below pcb) : DK32MP157C2$AU1

These are the commands I ran and the output I got on console :

$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=usb1 -w flashlayout_st-image-weston/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-dk2-trusted.tsv

If red led is blinking forever (and not 1 or 2 blink), this mean the USB Type-C supply is not recognized as enough power, and uBoot will stop. Maybe a good idea to test with another supply.

Could you check the log of the DK2 console output (available as VCP 115200 8 N 1 using ST-Link connector) ?

Alternatively, you could flash the SD-Card on your Linux machine using DD (https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_populate_the_SD_card_with_dd_command)

Maybe due to a bad STLINK FW (v2.33), Unfortunately, the one embedded in some version of CubeProgrammer was this bad one.

Please use FW update with latest CubeProgrammer or directly use the very latest FW upgrade utility (recommended) here https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-programmers/stsw-link007.html#get-software

I updated the firmware using the tool, still the same result:-

When the reconnecting to device is printed then the red led starts blinking and then it fails.

Also when try to see the list of stlinks connected without putting the board in DFU mode the stlink is greyed out.

===== DFU Interface =====
 
No STM32 device in DFU mode connected

these lines ST-LINK SN : 066DFF353036465043221035

ST-LINK FW : V2J33M0

are greyed out, what does this mean?

Please help me I have to finish a project and the deadline is near !

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

you still have the STLink FW v2.33 which is faulty for STM32MP1 (stop uBoot if not connected to a VCP driver on the PC).

Latest CubeProgrammer has still this v2.33 FW version.

Please update to v2.35 using the direct STLINK FW update link already provided (https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-programmers/stsw-link007.html#get-software)

Hi thanks for the quick response. I need help(I didn't work)

I updated the firmware to ST-LINK FW : V2J35M0 as you can see when I list the device:

After this I again tried to flash the SD card :

Also at the last step when it tries to reconnect, The red led starts blinking continuously and the blue led turns on.

I am using ubuntu 16.04 as specified in the wiki, I have followed all the steps.

Yes it is a good idea to use GTK, you will find many help from the community and some basic samples applications developed by ST (GTK + Python) on the starter packages.
