STM32L4S9 locked by cube programmer?

[CKren]

Hello,

I am facing some strange behavior when I try to debug a stm32l4s9 MCU using Atollic TrueStudio 9.3.0.

When I try to debug the mcu using a st-link v2 I get following output:

If I try to read the device flash memory using ST-LINK Utility I get this:

I can only read zeros and the read protection is suddenly set to level 1. If I disconnect the device from power und connect it again, I can read the flash memory just fine.

The read protection is set to Level 0 again.

Do you know anything about this topic?

Thank you,

Christian

Finally, I found the source / solution of the problem.

Cube programmer does not do anything wrong. But CubeMX does in my opinion.

I obviously changed the clock configuration of the stm32l4s9 to a too low frequency. But cubeMX does not throw any warning and generates code for the clock config just fine.

Here is the clock config source which led to this read protection problem.

void SystemClock_Config(void)
{
 RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};
 RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};
 RCC_PeriphCLKInitTypeDef PeriphClkInit = {0};
 
 /** Configure the main internal regulator output voltage 
 */
 if (HAL_PWREx_ControlVoltageScaling(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE1) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB busses clocks 
 */
 RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_HSE;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.HSEState = RCC_HSE_ON;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_ON;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLSource = RCC_PLLSOURCE_HSE;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLM = 1;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 8;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = RCC_PLLQ_DIV2;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLR = RCC_PLLR_DIV4;
 if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB busses clocks 
 */
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.ClockType = RCC_CLOCKTYPE_HCLK|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_SYSCLK
 |RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK1|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK2;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.SYSCLKSource = RCC_SYSCLKSOURCE_PLLCLK;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.AHBCLKDivider = RCC_SYSCLK_DIV16;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV1;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV1;
 
 if (HAL_RCC_ClockConfig(&RCC_ClkInitStruct, FLASH_LATENCY_0) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 PeriphClkInit.PeriphClockSelection = RCC_PERIPHCLK_USART1;
 PeriphClkInit.Usart1ClockSelection = RCC_USART1CLKSOURCE_PCLK2;
 if (HAL_RCCEx_PeriphCLKConfig(&PeriphClkInit) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
}
