Hi,
I'm encountering an issue while trying to install an SFI using STM32_Programmer_CLI within a GitLab pipeline.
Context:
- I'm using a GitLab runner with executor = shell (cmd), so the commands are executed directly on the PC where the microcontroller is physically connected.
- I'm executing the following command:
STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=SWD mode=HOTPLUG -sfi %SFI% %HSM_LICENSE% -rsse enc_signed_RSSe_sfi_U5_2M.bin
- %SFI% and %HSM_LICENSE% refer to the corresponding .sfi file and HSM license. The AES key and nonce used to generate the RSSe are also the same in all cases.
Issue:
The command fails with the following error:
Error: Execution of RSS CMD failed, returned value = 0xF6F6F6F6
Additional Info:
I’m running the same command on another PC with a different GitLab runner, using the same HSM license and the same AES key and nonce, but with a different RSSe file (in this case, a basic LED test for the microcontroller) — and it works fine there.
Both target microcontrollers are the same STM32U5 series and are connected via SWD.
Does anyone know what the return code 0xF6F6F6F6 means? Could it be related to some environment setup issue, the state of the MCU, or a missing tool/configuration on the failing PC?
Thanks in advance!
This is the full code of the GitLab pipeline error message:
Starting SFI

Error: Execution of RSS CMD failed, returned value = 0xF6F6F6F6
Error: Failed to Process License!
Error: C:\Users\...\SBSFU_U575.sfi SFI file Install Operation Failure! Please, try again.
