There ar no any problems downloading this file in Windows7 with same CubeProgrammer version.

Could you please give an Idea what may be wrong?

Thank you in advance

Looking forward for your reply

Hi @ASkri.1​ ,

Sorry for late reply ..

Are you still fighting with this issue or find a way to fix/workaround it ?

Hi, Olivier! I didn't find any suitable solution and fell back to Windows 7. I just suspect that the DFU driver may have a problem, because the board is visible as "STM32 bootloader" under Windows 7 and as "DFU in HS mode @DeviceID /0x500. @Revision ID /0x0000" under Windows 10. I'm not sure is it correct or not, but according to this: https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeProgrammer should be no problem. So, the problem is not solved :( Thank you in advance Looking forward for your reply вт, 26 окт. 2021 г. в 12:38, ST Community :

Hi @ASkri.1​ ,

Ok so I understand you already refer to troubleshooting guide on wiki such as https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeProgrammer#How_to_proceed_when_the_DFU_driver_installation_fails_on_Windows_host_PC

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeProgrammer#How_to_check_if_the_DFU_driver_is_functional

Searching for other case presenting the same error message I found 2 occurence :

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000TmP6KSAV/what-is-the-proper-procedure-to-secure-a-bootloader-build-for-the-dk1

-> looks dependent on the presence of STLink cable ?

What about your case ?

Else, internally we sometime faced similar issue the first time we program an SDCard with FIP partition ( DV3.0) while SDCard was previously partionned and programed with legacy ( TF-a, Uboot)

Let me know if you are in one of that case

Olivier

[ASkri.1]

Hi, Olivier!

So, there are following update:

1. We will avoid SD card issues and try to upload image to QSPI flash;
2. There are no any STLink cable - all done via USB DFU;
3. STM32CubeProgrammer v2.8.0 
4. AMD Ryzen 7 @ Windows 10 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1288);

Trying to download flashlayout file. Waiting to stuck on error after programming partition 0x02:

RUNNING Program ...

PartID:   :0x03

Reconnecting the device ...

USB speed  : High Speed (480MBit/s)

Manuf. ID  : STMicroelectronics

Product ID : USB download gadget@Device ID /0x500, @Revision ID /0x2001, @Name /STM32MP157DAB Rev.Z,

SN     : 003F00313438511336383238

FW version : 0x0110

Device ID  : 0x0500

Start operation done successfully at partition 0x03

Error: an error occured while uploading data from the virtual partition 0xF1

Received PhaseID == 0xFF, system is going to reboot

Then, disconnect USB cable and connect it back (without powering down target board), start again.

STM32CubeProgrammer continue to download partitions 0x04 , 0x05, 0x06 (tf-a, fip1, fip2) and then stuck again on partitoon 0x10:

Error: failed to download Segment[0]  

Error: failed to download the File   

Error: Download partition 0x10 failed  

Error: TSV flashing service failed  

And error from U_BOOT side:

UPLOAD ... done

Ctrl+C to exit ...

########DOWNLOAD ... OK

Ctrl+C to exit ...

#

UPLOAD ... done

Ctrl+C to exit ...

#

UPLOAD ... done

Ctrl+C to exit ...

dfu_write: Wrong sequence number! [1] [0]

And next restart of STM32CubeProgrammer completes process with last 0x10 partition (UBI image)

Now board can be booted from SPI flash.

Have tried to download image to eMMC - with such trick - also ok. So, seems, that there is DFU reconnect

error before or after loading partition 0x03.

Could you please help me to avoid it.

I want to point again, that there are no such (any) problems with Windows 7 (Core i5/i7 MCU both tested).

Thank you in advance.

Looking forwared for your reply.

[SMich.1]

same issue on my custom board. do someone have any progress with that?

[ASkri.1 · Accepted solution]

Yes. Problesm was solved. In my case it was VmWare virtual machine running on the same PC, that take control over USB each time target board restartes. After stopping VM problem was disappeared.

[SMich.1]

I don't run VM . and with old dunfell flashlayout it working fine. very strange behavior . tnx btw

[luaiza]

I am on Windows and VMWare too, but even with virtual machined off , the issue persists (STMProgrammer v.2.16.0)
