External QSPI Loader data read failed message

[DWWelch]

Hello,

I followed the STMicro YouTube tutorial for developing an external QSPI loader. I am using the W25Q128 attached to the NUCLEO-H7A3ZI-Q. The flash is working fine with my driver using the test program "main_test.c" provided with the tutorial, and I can access the flash contents at 0x090000000 in memory-mapped mode from the STM32CubeIDE debugger. I compile the external loader with the linker script provided in the tutorial and move the .stldr file into the external loader folder for STMCubeProgrammer. I select my loader from the list of loaders, but when I try to view external flash contents at 0x090000000, I get data read failed. If I try to download data to the external flash from STMCubeProgrammer I get:

16:35:41 : Time elapsed during the read operation is: 00:00:00.009
16:35:50 : Memory Programming ...
16:35:50 : Opening and parsing file: testbinary1M.bin

16:35:50 : Download in Progress:
16:35:50 : Error: failed to download Segment[0]
16:35:50 : Error: failed to download the File

Is there a log file from STM32CubeProgrammer that would give me any details about the failure so I can debug this issue?

I attached my loader source which I adapted from the H7 loader file included with the tutorial.

Thanks,

Dan

...I had the external flash address entered correctly in ST-Link Utility but was missing a zero in the address in STM32CubeProgrammer.  ... It works fine with the correct address.
