Clarification on Flow Protection Value Difference Between STM32H753ZI and STM32H733 Controllers

[Denish_Ribadiya]

In the SBSFU reference code for the STM32H753ZI controller, I came across the following function:

FLOW_CONTROL_CHECK(uFlowProtectValue, FLOW_CTRL_RUNTIME_PROTECT);

This function compares whether the two values are the same. In my implementation for the STM32H753ZI MCU, the uFlowProtectValue is set to 0x000030F1U.

Now, I am implementing the same logic for the STM32H733 controller, but the uFlowProtectValue variable is set to 0x00005776U.

So can you please guide me why I am getting different value for H733, means where this value is updated?

Hi @Denish_Ribadiya,

it's not unusual to get the control flow alert when modifying or porting the code. That's precisely the purpose of the control check - to detect modifications. I'd normally disable the checkups temporarily, make sure everything works and then update the checkups as the last touch.

To see the exact difference you'd probably need to trace the two executions side-by-side. But I don't think you need to find that difference. There are likely to be more of them and some probably cannot be avoided when porting to another device.

BR,
