STM32MP157 discovery board SD card population using STM32CubeProgrammer fails

[Nuzie]

Why does it fail reading the file, which seems to be the biggest one also ?

Hello,

Might be linked to PC filesystem issue (file protection, file already open, too slow system, etc..), could you please add details on your PC setup (including if windows, Linux, Virtual Machine, etc...) ?

[Nuzie]

Hi Thanks for replying, As the log says, the PartID 0x23 fails, The rest of the files do succeed to populate. Please look at the end of the log, the starting of the log may contain older log lines, which are not part of the process in test. My pc runs windows 10 64 bit, 16G ram I7 core 7600u thanks Sent from Mail<> for Windows 10

That's sound strange, many people use that way without any issues.

Some clues below (you may already done it):

Did you use command line or CubeProgrammer GUI ? Command line under W10 should look like :

"%ProgramFiles%\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe" -c port=usb1 -w flashlayout_st-image-weston\FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-dk2-trusted.tsv

Did you use the binaries as delivered or recompiled ?

Could you try re-populating the st-image-weston-openstlinux-weston-stm32mp1.ext4 file ?

Did you try rebooting your machine, the file might be locked by a previous attempt or another process ?

Could you try running CubeProgrammer as Administrator ?

Hello,

Got the same trouble with STM32CubeProgrammer V2.4.0 running Under Windows 10 64. see attached log.

the problem is on the file "st-image-weston-openstlinux-weston-stm32mp1.ext4"

I tried to:

reboot

run as administrator

the command line did not work.

Can you help me ?

[Nuzie]

Hi, Sorry, i did not find a solution to it. i just populated my SD card under linux shell with a script provided by ST

[TJann.1]

Hi,

thanks for reply Nuzie.

Finally It works using the command line interface with STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe. I have to copy the "STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.2.0\Starter-Package\stm32mp1-openstlinux-20-02-19\images\stm32mp1" folder to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin" in order to find the files.

I hope ST will find a solution in the future for using the GUI interface.

Best regards.

See attached the PowerShell screen of the STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe version.

Dear ALL:

This issue is solved by update STM32-CubeProgrammers to the latest version V2.5.

So, you only need upgrade software version now.

Hello,

i have the same problem with the STMCupeProgramme v2.5.0 too.

12:40:07 : Error: Unable to open the file st-image-bootfs-openstlinux-weston-stm32mp1.ext4

12:40:07 : Error: Download partition 0x21 failed

Therefore it seems it could be a other problem.
