Is there any way to set a specific GPIO high when entered a bootloader

EGinz.1 · ‎2020-01-22

I am programming the uC via UART that is connected via a Transceiver. The transceiver has an DE (Driver Enable) pin which is active high. Unfortunately, it has a pull down instead of pull-up in a design, therefor the uC can hear but can't talk back. This pin (DE) is also connected to one of the uC GPIOs. If only I could set this pin high by sending something to the uC when its in the boot-loader mode.., can I?

Other thought would be to force the STM32Cube to connect.. as off it has received the 0x7F from the uart.

Please help.

No. You have to fix the hardware.

If you mean the ROM-based system bootloader, the answer is no.

But perhaps you can override the DE pin of your transceiver module with a pull-up, which you can later disable (or reset) from within your application.

Or skip the system BL alltogether, and use your own.
