2.16 says CLI outputs has changes it now says "sector does not exists"

[arro239]

I am trying to migrate from cubeProgrammer 2.15 to 2.16

I am using same exact command with both versions

bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=usb1 -w "rusefi.bin" 0x08000000 -v -s

with 2.15 output is

is this a bug or a feature?

Hi there,

i am facing a very similar issue after upgrading to STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0.

When downloading an .elf file with USB connection to an STM32F407 (using the STM32CubeProgrammer GUI), I get the error "sector 0000 does not exist". The download ends successfully, but the program is not loaded correctly.

With v2.15.0, the download is successful and the program runs as expected.

v2.16.0 output:

Could you advise?

I'm facing the same issue with v2.16.0
and somehow this is related to (Erase selected sectors) button, which is doesn't work and giving the same messages (sector 0000 does not exist ... etc), but (Full chip erase) works.

Hello Everyone,

Regression is detected internally and tracked under 178135 (This is an internal tracking number not accessible to customers on community).

As mentioned by @Mkotb, issue is related to sector erase through USB and will be fixed in a future release.

Thanks for understanding.
