  • [SOLVED]J-Flash cant unsecure stm32f303 chip

    Hello!
    I try to use J-Flash to unsecure STM32F303CC in my hardware.

    In my project i secure chip on power up with code:

    Source Code

    1. if (FLASH_OB_GetRDP() == RESET)
    2. {
    3. FLASH_Unlock();
    4. FLASH_OB_Unlock();
    5. FLASH_ClearFlag(FLASH_FLAG_EOP | FLASH_FLAG_PGERR | FLASH_FLAG_WRPERR);
    6. FLASH_OB_RDPConfig(OB_RDP_Level_1);
    7. FLASH_OB_Launch();
    8. FLASH_OB_Lock();
    9. FLASH_Lock();
    10. }

    When i try to read back entire chip J-Flash Says:

    Then i try to unsecure chip :

    It seems unsecure was successfull?
    But then i try to read back entire chip again

    In addition - I tried to reconnect the power and i tried to use J-Link STM32 Unlock utility - all the same.
    Please help to understand

  • Hi,

    and i tried to use J-Link STM32 Unlock utility - all the same.

    Could you please try a current version of the J-Link software?
    From your log outputs it looks like you are using V4.54. Current version is V4.80d. (segger.com/jlink-software.html)
    Could you please give it a try?


    Best regards

  • Hi,

    Thank you for pointing this out.
    We determined the problem here. We plan to create a new
    version of the J-Link software which includes this fix tomorrow/next week.
