STM32H745 FLASH does not store the data?

EOzde.1 · ‎2022-01-24

Hi,

I write some data to the 0x080A0000 (sector 5 )address which is not protected. I write the data and ı can read that data too. There is no problem with that. But if I comment out the line which writes to data to the flash and run the program. That time I could not read the data that is written before. Shouldn't the flash keep that data even the power goes off? Any suggestions.

Thank you.

Sure you can, see RM0399, section 4.5 for details or the examples FLASH_WriteProtection in the repository (locally or on Github).

Of course you can store data in flash. However, since you have not protected that block and new firmware is loaded into the flash when a line is changed and the program recompiled, it is quite possible that the data will then be overwritten.

Thanks for the answer, sir. I know that I can configure the protection settings via stm32programmer. But how can I do that in code itself? Could I change this property during the runtime?

Option bytes can also be set using STM32CUBEPROGRAMMER and persist across resets/power downs.

After all, there were some settings about boot addressing in KEIL. Like, do not touch the area between address A and address B. In cubeIDE, I couldn't find it in debug configuration. It is maybe about the Linker file. I don't know about it.

Thank you.
