External flash loader program not working

[User16438042334827474767]

I am trying to develop an st-link utility external spi flash loader using STM32F411RE and Winbond W25Q32. Mass erase, Read, Sector erase are working well but the program not working, the following errors are pop-up 

1)Timeout during flash programming.

2)Error occurred during program operation!

3)Programming error @: 0x000010AC.

​

I also attached my full project file, please review and give suggestions

Hello @User16438042334827474767​ and welcome to the STM32 Community,

Which version are you using ?

Could you try STM32Cubeprogrammer software. Then, please let me know if this solved your issue.

1)I used the version attached, please check

2) I also tried the cube programmer v2.4.0 , but I got the same result but new things happened. First mass erases work well and again when I do the same the mass erase fails. My log is given below.

Hi @User16438042334827474767​ ,

I recommend you to update the STM32Cubeprogrammer V2.7.0 and upgrade the ST-Link firmware version (go to ST-LINK>firmware update), then try again and tell me if that solve the issue.

I added the right topics to your question in order to increase its chance to be reviewed by our experts.

Hello @Houda GHABRI​ 

Can you please help @User16438042334827474767​  on this issue.

Thanks
