This works fine, but he doesn't feel very well.

And I tried to use utf-8 encoding format, but it's still garbled.

Hello @totoro

I don't think this is a bug since STM32_Programmer_CLI is normally used in cmd shell on Windows or Terminals on MAC or Linux (With the default encoding (IBM850), the progress bar is displayed as expected).

Could you specify what you're using exactly ?

As I see it, this is most certainly a Terminal encoding issue. Could you try the following :


>chcp 850

Let me know if it solves the issue,

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Sorry, I forgot to reply, this method cannot solve that problem.

Andrew Neil · ‎2024-10-24

I agree with @Aziz BRIGUI - the problem there is the configuration of your terminal: it's not correctly displaying the graphic characters used by CubeProgrammer to display the progress bar.

I think I understand. It may be related to one of my settings.

Andrew Neil · ‎2024-10-24

So what happens if you change that?

It still does not display the progress bar's graphic characters correctly, but the result is different from before.
