Error: failed to erase memory

Hi,

While flashing code in STM32G474VBT6, I am getting below error. After reinstalling cube ide and cube programmer, same error continues.

Can anyone help me to get solution?

I remember something similar happening, which only the ST-link utility was able to resolve by performing a complete FLASH erase.

Hello @RhSilicon 

I did the full chip erase with STM32CubeProgrammer. But still error is present.

I found this tip:

I just installed STM32CubeIDE v1.13.1 and got the same "failed to execute MI command" error.

But the error does not occur with IDE v1.12.1 (since it's the same project).

I'm using IDE 1.12.1 because there have been several reports of BUGs with version 1.13, and I've only just installed this version in a virtual machine to test it, but I shouldn't use this version for now, version 1.12.1 already suits my projects at the moment.

[RhSilicon]

The error stopped occurring after selecting the ST-Link frequency from Auto to 8000kHz. There may be some ST-Link speed identification failure.

[RhSilicon]

I disabled firmware verification, but I noticed that leaving 8000kHz in IDE 1.13.1 caused a firmware error. IDE version 1.12.1 identifies the frequency of 4000kHz for ST-link in AUTO mode.

[RhSilicon]

I enabled firmware verification but I noticed leaving 1000kHz in IDE 1.13.1 stops with MI error.

Hi @RhSilicon ,

I uninstalled STM32CubeIde 1.13.1 and installed STM32CubeIde 1.12.0. Now it is working fine.

There may be some issue with 1.13.1.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

I have the same issue 1.12.1 works but 1.13.1 doesn't
