  • [SOLVED] Cannot write registers in STM32G491

    Hello,

    I am developping an application that can run on multiple MCUs. I have tested my code on a nucleo G474 and I was flashing it using a 6-pin jlink on the gpios.

    I received the final board which has a STM32G791, and after configuring my code to support this MCU I tried to flash the board and it failed when the script tried to flash the binary.

    ****** Error: Failed to erase sectors 0 @ address 0x08000000 ((erase error))
    Failed to erase sectors.

    Unspecified error -1


    Attached are the scripts I used for both targets

    I am not sure what I'm doing wrong here. What is sure though, is that I can write registers on the nucleo board but not on the target board, but I can read them on both MCUs


    I tried to reset the options bytes as I've seen in an other post on this forum ([SOLVED] STM32L052 failed to erase sectors) using JLinkSTM32, but it failed with the message
    Unexpected IDCODE DEV_ID 0x0479 found.
    Which is weird because this IDCODE is specified in the STM32G4 reference manual

    What am I missing?

  • Hi Thomas,
    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Regarding the commands:
    I had a quick glance at it and one major issue is that you do not write the registers you intend to write to.
    E.g. 0x08 is not the address of the FLASH_KEYR. It is the offset of the FLASH_KEYR to the Flash register base address.
    you would have to write to address 0x40022000 (Flash register base address) + 0x08 (FLASH_KEYR offset) to write the register.

    Regarding the JLinkSTM32-Utility:

    The STM32G491devies are CAT4 devices which were not yet handled by the STM32 Utility.
    I fixed this internally.
    The fix will be part of the next release planned for Friday this, or next week.

    Thank you for making this known to us.
