Binary flashing script

[GHM]

How to flash a binary file to the microcontroller with script only ie without STM32Cube IDE & Stm32cube programmer. Please provide a detailed script to flash a given binary saved at a known location

[Andrew Neil]

Would the CubeProgrammer command-line version be OK?

[GHM]

Thanks for the reply. We need a bat file or script to flash a binary to stm32h503rbt6 using st link ie jtag or RS232

[MOBEJ]

you can follow a bat file used to flash Demo binary for STM32H747I-DK boards , download the demo package in ST.com from this link : https://www.st.com/resource/en/compiled_demos/stm32h747i-disco_demo.zip  ,

After downloading, navigate to the following path within the package: stm32h747i-disco_demo.zip\STM32H747I-DISCO_demo\Binary. There, you will find the program_hexfile.bat file, which is specifically designed for the STM32H747I-DK Demo binary. Reviewing this batch file can assist you with your specific case.

Hello @GHM , 

I recommend checking the STM32Cube command-line toolset quick start guide, specifically UM3088 on page 4. It provides helpful information on using the STM32CubeProgrammer as a command-line tool. This should guide you through the necessary steps and commands.

The STLINK-V3SET offers a windows drive, if you connect it to your destination board, you can use a simple windows batch file to copy to this drive, the ST-Link then writes it to the destination STM32.

So it's basically only this in the *.bat file in the project folder, if "F:" is the ST-Link drive:

copy Release\STM32H733_work.bin F:

Thanks all. However, neither of the solution is loading the binary to the MCU. Request for a dedicated bat file/script to load the binary to STM32H503RBT6

[Andrew Neil]

So show what you've tried.

Are you getting any error messages?

You need to give full details:  we don't have crystal balls to see what's going on in your setup - or even what your setup is!

1) Added the below jlink & bat to the source folder & then ran the bat file but no flashing happened

jlink file-"C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\stlink_server\stlinkserver.exe" STM32h503RBT6 -if SWD -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 -CommanderScript C:\SSB\Develop\SSB_ALPHA\SSB_ALPHA\Debug\flashonly.jlink

flashonly.bat-"C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\stlink_server\stlinkserver.exe" STM32h503RBT6 -if SWD -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 -CommanderScript C:\SSB\Develop\SSB_ALPHA\SSB_ALPHA\Debug\flashonly.jlink

2) Other .bat files containing the bin files in the same folders

a)

@Echo off

REM Set address for STM32H503RB6 (usually 0x08000000 for main flash)
SET FLASH_ADDR=0x08000000

[Andrew Neil]

Again, do you get any errors messages with that?

Before going to a .bat file, have you got it working by typing manually?

@GHM wrote:

cd /d %C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin%

That doesn't look right: the %...% should enclose a symbol name for expansion.

Did you mean:

cd /d "C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin"

 

[LCE]

Start with something simple...

Can you flash the *.bin by copying via Windows explorer to the STLINK drive?

Then doing this by *.bat?

Then build around that.

[MM..1]

O boy , search somebody with basic MSDOS shell know. Dont try scripts without basic info. Flash is simple one line command batch...

"C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe" -c port=SWD mode=UR -d "pathto your.hex" -v -g

for bin files is required addr to load, too elf can be used instead hex usw.
