Can't flash STM32H735IG discovery kit using S32CubeIDE

Elimathew72 · ‎2024-05-21

Hello all,

We are trying to evaluate the STM32H735IG for our product. We bought the off-the-shelf dev kit and tried flashing it using S32CubeIDE, but encountered an error. The weird thing is, I can use S32 programmer to read flash, so the ST-Link seems to be up-to-date. I feel there is something wrong with S32CubeIDE. Can you please help.

All the versions are below and also some screenshots to assist help debugging

Hello @Elimathew72 and welcome to the ST Community :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

Could you try this using the last version of STM32CubeIDE (V 1.15.1).

Best Regards.

Can still erase via stm32cubeprogrammer attaching a screenshot

Working here...

As long as my source code uses the SMPS:

HAL_PWREx_ConfigSupply(PWR_DIRECT_SMPS_SUPPLY);

Hello We are trying the flash the sample off the example called BSP which blinks led.I don't see why this would affect connecting to stlink. Also many folks have experienced this problem but there is not concrete solutions.

Also tried @mattias norlander solution in https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeide-mcus/how-can-i-remove-error-like-waiting-for-debugger-connection/td-p/250559 to include debug configuration > Startup tab > Initialization commands > Add: monitor flash mass_erase in the startup script. The Mass erase is successful then it shuts down connection

The other datapoint is I have STM32F429I discovery kit and it flashes with no problem

Elimathew72 · ‎2024-05-23

The difference between STM32F429I discovery kit and STM32H750B-DK discovery kit is the stlink. Former has STLINK-V2 and the latter has STLINK-V3. Folks it'll be really helpful if anyone can assist me.
