[SOLVED] I cannot flash and use the QSPI W25Q128J chip on the new STM32F746G-DISCO version C03

[Ciuffoly www.audiodesignguide]

I have develop a program on STM32F746G-DISCO revision B02 with QSPI  N25Q128A13EF840E

Now the new boards revision C03 use the QSPI W25Q128JVEIQ.

I have copied the file W25Q128JVEIQ_STM32F746G-DISCO.stldr from CubeIDE 1.16 to the STM32 ST-LINK Utility\ST-LINK Utility\ExternalLoader but the external loader is not flash.

I need to change some in my code to use this new QSPI chip ?

Hello,

Why are you still using STLINK Utility? Please use STM32CubeProgrammer instead.

[Tesla DeLorean]

The ST-LINK Utilities have been deprecated for many years, there could be some issues with how the loader initializes or its size.

I should have some F7 W25Q128 loaders that work in this context.

I need only to add this on  STM32CubeProgrammer   ?

[SofLit]

Why are you needing to copy the External loader? It's already available:

[Ciuffoly www.audiodesignguide]

ok, I am using the STM32CubeProgrammer with External Loader but still not see the images stored on QSPI.

Soon I will update the log of flash phase

[SofLit]

Did you succeed to Flash the external NOR flash with CubeProgrammer or not?

[SofLit]

Be careful, there are two Flash loader as I shared previously, please select the correct one:
