STM32MP257DK SD-Card Writing with STM32CubeProgrammer

[Kevin_Woo]

I want to use a different SD Card than the one provided with the STM32MP257DK board. I complete writing to the SD Card through STM32CubeProgrammer in boot mode, but STM32CubeProgrammer disappears without the last complete message.
After that, booting does not work even if I do SD boot, and the SD Card is not partitioned.
Are there any separate regulations for the SD Card that should be used with the STM32MP257DK board?

I created a partition of the SD Card in advance according to the explanation in https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_populate_the_SD_card_with_dd_command.

After that, I ran stm32cubeprogrammer, but STm32cubeprogrammer disappeared and the program was not completed. core@lge-c:~/share/stm32mpu_dev/Starter-Package/stm32mp2-openstlinux-6.6-yocto-scarthgap-mpu-v24.12.05/images/stm32mp2/scripts$ ./create_sdcard_from_flashlayout.sh ../flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp257f-dk-ca35tdcid-ostl-m33-examples-optee.tsv

Even on the stm32mp157-dk1 board, if you first set up a partition on a new sd card and then execute write using stm32cubeprogrammer, you can see the error message below on the console. Even if you connect 5V/3A to the power port, you can see the same error message. Please also recommend a solution for this part.

sudo dd if=../flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/../../FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp257f-dk-ca35tdcid-ostl-m33-examples-optee.raw of=/dev/sdc bs=8M conv=fdatasync status=progress I wrote FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp257f-dk-ca35tdcid-ostl-m33-examples-optee.raw to the SD-Card and created a bootable device.
However, (1) writing does not work properly via STM32CubeProgrammer via USB.
(2) The booting image via the raw file is different from the booting image using the SD-Card provided by DK. (* Example) RAW file: DR Port: USB 2.0, DK-SD: DR Port: USB 3.0)

Hi @Kevin_Woo 

did you use a virtual machine or a native Linux PC ?

Could your try at first a basic optee image using CubeProgrammer in command line ?

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeProgrammer#How_to_flash_with_STM32CubeProgrammer

commend should be like this one:

./bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=usb1 -w flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp257f-dk-optee.tsv

Thanks for your reply.
First, I was able to activate the new SD Card using the SD Card access method in Deep Dive.
Afterwards, I verified that the update was possible using STM32CubeProgrammer by selecting the DK-optee.tsv mentioned by PatrickF instead of the tsv file mentioned in the Getting Started page.

I will finish the work in progress and analyze the differences between the various TSV files on the STM32MP257DK board.
