STM ROM Bootloader issue with STM32H745

Hello,

I am facing a weird issue with accessing STM ROM bootloader for flashing.

Hardware Used: STM32H745-DISCO

IDE: Keil

I have created a simple bootloader which jumps to ROM Bootloader at startup.

startup_stm32h745xx.s:

; Reset handler
Reset_Handler    PROC
                 EXPORT  Reset_Handler                    [WEAK]
				;Then check if we need to jump to ST Boot loader
                LDR     R1, =0xE000ED00 ; SCB
                LDR     R0, =0x1FF09800 ; ROM BASE
                STR     R0, [R1, #8]    ; VTOR
                LDR     SP,[R0, #0]     ; ROM Stack Pointer
                LDR     R0,[R0, #4]     ; ROM Program Counter
                BX      R0	

When I power cycle and try to connect via STM32 CubeProgrammer, I get below error:

But when I press Reset button on STM32H745-DISCO, then connection is succesful without any issue

I am wondering what's the difference between pressing reset button and power cycle.

Any advice on how I can fix the issue.

You get one shot out of reset, any noise on any of the watched pins will be taken as a connection attempt. Probably more pins moving as it powers up.​

The STM ROM bootloader present is V9.0 and seems there is a know bug with it

"– Additional reset needed after power off/on to enable connection to the BL interfaces"

Is there any workaround for this?

Field programming, probably don't use the system's boot loader, but rather your own, using some protocol supported by standard/common tools?
