Hello Everyone,
This is the code that I have tried many times and tried to debug as well. I have attached a snapshot of the error of the debugging section (disassembly ). I have not been able to understand what of my code leads to this error , and how to solve this?

Initially I tried the code without
__HAL_FLASH_CLEAR_FLAG(FLASH_FLAG_EOP | FLASH_FLAG_OPERR | FLASH_FLAG_WRPERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGAERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGSERR );
, that was when I was only to able to program the board once. After that it used to give some error
Error: ST-LINK error (DEV_TARGET_NOT_HALTED).
I want to save some data in the flash so that I can use that after powering the board again. The data is of float
data-type and 12 such floats have to be saved. Is there any way I can tackle this issue?
The code is in reference with this:click here.

Writing to flash at the start of the program will not let the debugger connect. Put a HAL_Delay(500) before doing any flash operations.

Okay , I will try to put hal_delay() at the start.
It would be great if you could explain what the error was , of which a snapshot is attached. And are there any things that I should keep in mind while writing the final version of the firmware.

I tried adding the delay, but it gave the same error. Is there anything else that I could think about?
