Main issues fixed in STM32CubeProgrammer v2.5.0

59191 [STM32WB] Unable to remove or install the RF stack over UART bootloader + RSS. 60618 Erase of EEPROM memory of STM32L051 using the Erase selected sectors option. 62173 Cannot connect to STM32F072 DFU system bootloader.

65682 [UART] Cannot update Option Bytes with the UART.

66596 [UART] STM32L010 can be programmed.

67646 CLI missing -w64 command + OTP area not programmed via SWD.

68736 [STM32F7] Unable to erase multiple sectors for dual-bank Flash memory.

68990 [secure boot] Key generation not functional with STM32MP_KeyGen_CLI on Linux®. 70592 Start address box is activated after programming .hex file.

71108 [STM32H7] Flashing through SWD in SFI mode finishes with errors.

73495 [STM32F072] Cannot remove read protection through DFU bootloader.

79494 Fail to program STM32L0 MCUs

79912 [STM32F446] Flash memory size register reading with bootloader interface.

82752 [UART][CLI] Upload size is bigger than Flash memory size.

82867 Firmware Upgrade Service panel does not disappear on disconnect from compatible device. 83296 [STM32L5][SFI]: SFI fails if RDP is set to 0 or 1 in .csv file or if start SFI with TZEN=1. 83346 Get Cubeprogrammer_API.lib compiled with x64.

88504 Issues with programming 512-Kbyte memory with 362-Kbyte file.

89436 Failure to program binary to STM32L4 Nucleo board with the CAN interface using bootloader.

Known problems and limitations

• For the STM32L5 Series, the Option Byte programming GUI is not intuitive enough. Refer to the STM32L552xx and STM32L562xx advanced Arm®-based 32-bit MCUs reference manual (RM0438) for permitted accesses.

• For STM32L4Pxxx and STM32L4Qxxx devices, Option Byte programming via bootloader interfaces presents some limitations. 

For STM32H7Axxx and STM32H7Bxxx devices, Option Byte programming via bootloader interfaces (USB) presents some limitations.

• STM32L5 Series programming presents limitation in macOS® when TZEN=1 and RDP=0x55.

• Display issues depending on the monitor used can occur with Linux®.

• SFI-HSM V2 get certificate fails with STM32L462xx devices.

• Parallel Flash programming fails in macOS® for microprocessors in the STM32MP1 Series.

• Issues can be reported with some specific .elf file in CRC calculation safety feature.

• STM32MP1 mircoprocessor programming via UART presents limitations to program the whole boot chain.

• STM32MP1 mircoprocessor get certificate operation is not completed via a UART connection.

As reported multiple time before I miss an option to restore factory default option byte settings.

GUI not work on Ubuntu 20... It`s epic fail...

[Jstev.11]

Is it supported to install without GUI on Linux ?

On running STM32CubeProgrammer

/home/xyz/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32CubeProgrammer

"Error: Could not find or load main class com.st.app.Main"

I tried all possible combination available on internet.

But it does not work.

Please update it for Ubuntu 20

STM32CubeProgrammer doesn't work.

Who is the right person to contact? It's becoming really annoying. Can anyone care to help?

I've messaged you privately about an ELF loader issue on the H7 models where the 0x20000000 / 0x24000000 RAM addresses get applied incorrectly to the External Loaders on the H7

I first reported it here:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000BRWFmKSQX/stm32-cube-programmer-v210-not-working-with-stm32h750bdk-qspi-external-loader

[m4l490n]

It is not working for me on Ubuntu 20.04.

If I run it from the command line I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.st.app.Main

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

And if I click the icon in the system tray then nothing happens.

I have the same problem on a Mac running OS X 10.14.5. If I try to launch STM32CubeProgrammer from the Dock, I get a tiny blip of the Dock icons and nothing else. If I open $ /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/STM32CubeProgrammer

so as to avoid Apple's new Gateway function, I get

$ /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/STM32CubeProgrammer ; exit;

Error: Could not find or load main class com.st.app.Main

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

logout

[Process completed]

I used the setup app from the ST website. I accepted all defaults and so STM32CubeProgrammer is installed properly, I believe.

java --version returns with

java 13.0.1 2019-10-15

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 13.0.1+9)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 13.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing)

Please help.
