Flashing Demonstration Firmware?

[thomasgillen]

Hi, I have an STM32303E-EVAL that I have been messing around with, but I also want to reset it to the demonstration functionality. I have downloaded the zip file for the demonstration firmware from the website, but I am not sure where to go from there. I tried to run the hex file in STM32CubeProgrammer, but that only made it ask for the sd card and didn't do anything further. Any help with what I need to do with the zip file would be appreciated.

But presumably if it had a MicroSD card with the media files on it, it wouldn't be asking for it..

When the sc card is in, it just stays on the white screen rather than running the demo. Thats why im not sure what im missing.

Hello @thomasgillen and welcome to the ST Community.

I suggest you to refer to the UM1851 specially the part 2.1.1 of it.

Best Regards.

Let me go find the file you're talking about, and read the instructions, I'll get back to you..

It's a very old board, perhaps 12 years, and likely came with a 128MB card, not a current SDHC/SDXC one, so imagine a 2GB or smaller

The board doesn't look to have an External Loader for a NOR/NAND FLASH

Copy STM32303C-EVAL_FW_V1.0.0\Project\STM32303C-EVAL\Binary\Media on to the SDCard, so USER and STFILES at the top level

Use a 2GB card, or smaller

Thanks, but its the card that came with the board so those files were on the card by default. If it helps, I flashed it from a project where I selected the board and chose "Initialize all peripherals with their default mode." I thought that meant it would keep the demo but it didn't. After that, that's when I tried to run the hex file of STM32303C-EVAL_FW_V1.0.0 to get it back.
