LoRaWAN end node example in STM32WL | How to store a value in flash memory? Integrated the FLASH example code from the GitHub source files, not working & it is showing an error in the WRITE operation

"the FLASH example code from the GitHub source files"

Which example, from which GitHub repository?

Have you got that example to work on its own?

"it is showing an error in the WRITE operation"

What, exactly, is showing an error, and what error, exactly, is that thing showing?

Hi,

Currently, I'm working on STM32WLE5JC with the LoRaWAN end node example,

I have referred to the following GitHub source. First of all, I'm new to this board & a beginner level in communication protocol so called LoRaWAN

Referred link,

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeWL

Referred flash program from examples folder,

In this, I'm able to write/read the values in the flash memory using cubemx platform(which stores two uint32_t type variables)!

But when I'm trying the same implementation in LoRaWAN end node example code, facing an issue like "Error in write operation"

I just need to store the values in the memory using LoRaWAN end node example code! (I have attached the functions that i used in the above chain!)

Can you please help with this?

[Andrew Neil]

"facing an issue like (sic) "Error in write operation"

how do you mean, "like" ?

Again, where exactly are you getting that, and what is the exact message?

As you've got one case which does work, and one which doesn't, have you tried comparing the two to see where they differ? eg, stepping through the code?

[MCasa.5]

Have you resolve that question? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure the Flash can be written if coded properly.

It will need aligned addresses, to have been erased and written once.

Fail at a hardware level perhaps from power supply issues or repetitive cycling.

People need to learn how debug, diagnose, and address issues​. Others having solved the issue is not a prerequisite to solving the issue yourself.

I can't found a free page to store my info into the flash memory with lorawan example sample code. I use this code adapted for my own code, but i don't know how address will must use to do it. https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeWL/blob/main/Projects/NUCLEO-WL55JC/Examples/FLASH/FLASH_FastProgram/Src/main.c

[MCasa.5]

I have the same problem that Ppk1

[MCasa.5]

I do it!

I found a pair of pages free to store my info.
