You sure it's using 5.50? ''Embedded Workbench 5.4_2''

I haven't bothered with IAR/EWARM, but the Keil 4.12 demo is working with the discovery board.

I don't know why but in uVision 4 i get this message in build output

Hi,

This is a known bug in EWARM 5.50  with value line flashloader. It is fixed in EWARM5.50.5. I advise you, if possible, to upgrade your EWARM version to 5.50.5 (available on IAR web site: www.iar.com). Else , you can use the attached patch to fix this problem with your installed version. It contains a readme that explains hosw to use it. Hope this helps, regards, VLINE.

LOAD means it sent it to the device. There is a problem with the ST-LINK using the Flash->Download menu, but if you select Debug->Start/Stop and you have enabled ''Update Target before Debugging'' option, it will flash the device before it starts debugging. If you want to write a specific .HEX file to the device, you can download and use the ST-LINK Utility program outside of Keil.

Hello,

Having the same problem flash loader. If possible let me have the patch in .zip format. I dont have rar in my machines. Also I couldnot find the exact place where I can download EWARM version to 5.50.5. Is it freely available? Now I am using IAR Enbedded workbench 5.4 kickstart. Thank you.

Hello VLINE,

Is such patch file is available for STM32L1XX versions? Thanks.

I have a similar problem, Using Embedded Workbench 6.0 Evaluation Edition:

Thu Feb 10 12:12:33 2011: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.0 Evaluation\arm\config\flashloader\ST\FlashSTM32F10xxx.mac(5,20): Error: Operation error.  

Thu Feb 10 12:12:33 2011: Error while calling macro execUserFlashInit 

Thu Feb 10 12:12:33 2011: Failed to load flash loader: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.0 Evaluation\arm\config\flashloader\ST\FlashSTM32F100xB.flash 

This occurs when using the STM32Discovery SWD ports to flash an external STM32F103VB. I wonder if the wires are a problem, as I have a relatively long squid (>20cm). However STM's ST-Link Utility has absolutely no problem flashing the chip and verifying, so this would seem to indicate a problem with EW.

Any ideas?

Any ideas? Perhaps you have not selected the correct target device for the project? ie an F103, not the F100
