Known problems and limitations:

• Integrity check:

– STM32H7 microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI:

◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version higher than 0x91 are supported.

◦ STM32CubeProgrammer does not support the devices with older bootloader versions. Users

must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.

– STM32H73xxx microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI/SFIx:

◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version higher than 0x93 are supported.

◦ STM32CubeProgrammer does not support the devices with older bootloader versions. Users

must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.

– STM32H7Bxxx microcontrollers: support integrity check for SFI/SMI/SFIx:

◦ Only the devices with a bootloader version equal to or higher than 0x92 are supported.

◦ STM32CubeProgrammer does not support the devices with older bootloader versions. Users

must use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 to use devices with old bootloader versions.

• Auto mode (Linux® platform):

– The SPI interface quits after starting without a connection.

• Debug authentication is not supported on Windows® 32 bits.
• SFIx fails for large flash memory content on Linux® via the UART interface.
• Unable to generate the CRC on an .elf file with relocated binary.
• USB interoperability issue on macOS® due to ST-LINK limitation.
• STM32G0 microcontrollers:

– Option byte issue: impossible to decrease the RDP from the BB to AA state.

– The .hex file does not modify the WRP and PCROP option bytes of bank 2 for the devices with

512 Kbytes of dual-bank flash memory.

– Unable to change the option bytes when WWDG_SW and IWDG_SW are unchecked.

• STM32G4 microcontrollers:

– STM32CubeProgrammer fails to download via J-Link

– STM32G491xx microcontrollers: Issues occur when erasing sectors in bank 2 memory

• STM32H573xx microcontrollers:

– Unable to read, write, or erase the external flash memory when TZEN is enabled

• STM32H7 microcontrollers:

– STM32CubeProgrammer does not support combined SFI and SMI.

– SMI programming fails.

• STM32H7Rx/7Sx microcontrollers:

– SFI is not supported.

– Erasing the external flash memory is not supported using IWDG.

– GUI: the external memory edition is not supported via USB and UART while connected to the

OpenBootloader.

– Option bytes are not supported via OpenBootloader interfaces.

• STM32MP25xx microprocessors:

– SSP secret generation is not supported

• STM32U5 microcontrollers:

– Impossible to modify the unlock_2b option byte value when programming the OB list.

– STM32U535/545 microcontrollers: SFIx is not supported.

– STM32U575VGT6: the start address of Flash-Bank2 is incorrect.

– STM32U59xxx microcontrollers: SFIx only supports the area E installation with OTFDEC region 1

(region 0 on TPC).

– STM32U59xxJ, STM32U5AxxJ, STM32U5Fxxx, and STM32U5Gxxx microcontrollers: wrong sector

size when DBANK is equal to zero

– STM32U5Fxxx and STM32U5Gxxx microcontrollers: SFIA not supported via SPI.

STM32WBA microcontrollers:

– OpenBootloader via SPI: cannot connect to STM32CubeProgrammer when the baud rate is below

3000 Bd.

– “Connect Under Reset” is not working when called by STM32CubeIDE.

Refer to the STM32CubeProgrammer Release note (RN0109) for further details.

Hi, Pavel A

Thank you for the info. Could I know which older version still can support Win 7 64 bits OS?

[Pavel A.]

Hi Kevin,

As Windows 7 became unsupported in January 2020, try any version released before this date.

Hi, Pavel

Thank you for the advice. I have tried V2.15.0. It is working on at Windows 7 64 bits OS. Thanks!
