Known problems and limitations:

• Integrity check:
– STM32H7 microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI:
◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version higher than 0x91 are supported.
◦ STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0 does not support the devices with older bootloader versions.
Users must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.
– STM32H73xxx microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI/SFIx:
◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version higher than 0x93 are supported.
◦ STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0 does not support the devices with older bootloader versions.
Users must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.
– STM32H7Bxxx microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI/SFIx:
◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version higher than 0x92 are supported.
◦ STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0 does not support the devices with older bootloader versions.
Users must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.
• Auto mode (Linux® platform):
– The SPI interface quits after starting without a connection.
• STM32G0 microcontrollers:
– Option byte issue: impossible to decrease the RDP from the BB to AA state.
– The .hex file does not modify the WRP and PCROP option bytes of bank 2 for the devices with
512 Kbytes of dual-bank flash memory.
– Unable to change the option bytes when WWDG_SW and IWDG_SW are unchecked.
• STM32H523/533 microcontrollers:
– Software reset is not performed after setting product _State to 0x2E via USB.
• STM32H523/533, STM32H562, and STM32H563/573 microcontrollers:
– Wrong RSSe default filename in the SFI/SFIx panel.
• STM32H573xx microcontrollers:
– Unable to read, write, or erase the external flash memory when TZEN is enabled
• STM32H7 microcontrollers:
– STM32CubeProgrammer does not support combined SFI and SMI.
– SMI programming fails.
• STM32H7Rx/7Sx microcontrollers:
– Impossible to program the full extent of the external memory in one single shot with the
OpenBootloader via USB. A workaround is to program in several runs of 64 Mbytes maximum.
– GUI: the external memory edition is not supported via USB and UART while connected to the
OpenBootloader.

• STM32U5 microcontrollers:
– STM32U535/545 microcontrollers: SFIx is not supported.
– STM32U575VGT6: the start address of Flash-Bank2 is incorrect.
– STM32U59xxx microcontrollers: SFIx only supports the area E installation with OTFDEC region 1
(region 0 on TPC).
– STM32U59xxx and STM32U5Axxx microcontrollers: wrong sector size when DBANK = 0 (16 Kbits
instead of 8 Kbits).
– RDP regression with password [level 2] is not supported on all platforms.
• STM32WBA microcontrollers:
– OpenBootloader via SPI: cannot connect to STM32CubeProgrammer when the baud rate is below
3000 Bd.
• Debug authentication is not supported on Windows® 32 bits.
• SFIx fails for large flash memory content on Linux® via the UART interface.
