DFU bootloader issues

BKlus.1
Associate II

I am trying to use the built-in bootloader in DFU mode on STM32H743IIT.

1. I built my application and created a *.dfu file

2. The bootloader starts fine and my device enumerates properly as "STM Device in DFU Mode"

3. DfuSe Demo (v3.0.6) detects my device

4. I choose my DFU file and then click "Upgrade." The process appears to complete with message "Target 00: Upgrade successful!"

5. However, when I click "Verify," I get an error message "Matching not good. First difference at address 0x0801F068: File byte is 0x54. Read byte is 0xFF."

6. If I load my application using SWD, and then run bootloader using the same DFU file, it verifies OK.

7. With another (shorter) DFU file, everything works fine

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks!

DfuSe Demo is very old, suggest you use STM32 Cube Programmer in USB/DFU mode.

Also double check alignments, pretty sure the H7 will need 8-byte (64-bit) alignment. I wrote a tool many years ago called HEX2DFU. I might need to dig up a newer version.

For some reason, STM32Cube Programmer can't find my device.

I actually tried using your HEX2DFU tool, but it gives me an error message:

By the way, would you be willing to permit use of your tool in a commercial environment?

Thanks!

What's coming in at 0x30000000 isn't that RAM? Should that be NOLOAD ?
