Hello, anyone help me!

Iwant to generate a dfu file for my STM32L053C8-Discovery bord, but whatever I fill in the blanks in the DFU File Manager, when I choose a hex file generrated by my Keil 5, an error occurs as the picture above shows.

clive1, thank you for the 3.0.3 version!

my .hex is also failing on 3.0.4 but works on 3.0.3

It's a bit upsetting that ST would not release 3.0.5 ASAP or at least pull the faulty 3.0.4 down

The link to the old file manager appears stale. Could you please repost for me?

Both appear to be working from here. What are you seeing?

Can somebody post a link to the source for DFuse 3.0.4 as described by aaron? I can only find the compiled program

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC961/SS1533/PF257916

.

I would like to add his fix and have a working version of the latest dfuse demo.

Nevermind. I didn't realise that the installer also unpacks a copy of the source files into the folder /ProgramFiles\STMicroelectronics\Software\DfuSe v3.0.4\Sources

Maybe it's time for ST to do this fix and release 3.0.5 ?

Hello, anyone help me!

i would like to generate a dfu file for STM3210B-EVAL board, but i met the following error when using DfuSeDemo.exe (3.0.0) to download firmware into the board. (As there is bug to create image on the DfuFileManager v3.0.4, I have to use older version.).

1. Download and unzip stsw-stm32121\STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0 from ST website

2. Compile and Download the firmware bootloader program into the board by Ulink2 (stsw-stm32121\STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0\Projects\Device_Firmware_Upgrade)

3. Compile stsw-stm32121\STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0\Projects\Mass_Storage and then use DfuFileManager v3.0.0. (Remark: I just check the “Create HEX File�? box and didn’t change any program code) (DfuFileManager.png)

4. Use DfuFileManager v3.0.0 to convert STM3210B-MassStorage2-EVAL.hex into .dfu file successfully.

5. Connect the board to my PC. The board was correctly detected. But I met following problem when I upgrade firmware (DfuSe Demo bug.png)

Plz kindly advise what is wrong with my procedure.

i solved the problem by changing thestart addressof flash to 0x8003000 from 0x8000000 on step 3. and i canconvert and download the rebuilt firmware successfully.

But, i have two new problems.

1. Downloaded the .dfu file of Mass Storage demo (i rebuilt) into the board. the PC cannot recognizeit after i reset the board. (Unknow Device.png) But, if i download the .dfu attached in STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0\Utilities\DFU_images\STM3210B-EVAL_MassStorage.dfu instead, the PC can recognize it as a mass storage after reset the EV board. So, is there any program code or setting of Mass_Storage needed to edit so that it can be correctlyrecognized by PC ?

2. both.dfu files (the .dfu of mass storage i rebuilt andthe .dfu attached in STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0\Utilities\DFU_images\STM3210B-EVAL_MassStorage.dfu)have errorafter pressing''leave DFU mode'' button.

how can i get ride of it ? (leave DFU mode err.png)

For problem 1. it may not caused by DfuSe Demo tool. Can anyone advise why the dfu files have different behavior ?? anyone can advise what's wrong with my procedures ??
