How to flash a common bootloader on NUCLEO-G071RB

[Aiswarya1]

Hi,

I am using a NUCLEO-G071RB development board. I accidentally erased the original bootloader while flashing a custom one. Is it possible to reflash or restore the built-in bootloader on the NUCLEO-G071RB development board? If so, where can I obtain the original bootloader file?

 

Thanks,

Aiswarya

Welcome @Aiswarya1, to the community!

It is impossible to erase the original bootloader – at least the one that was permanently stored by STMicroelectronics in the bootloader area. You can only erase a bootloader that you programmed yourself, which you may have programmed in the user flash.

Please describe what led you to believe that the original bootloader had been deleted?

Thank you for your response.

I have uploaded the AM32 bootloader to the NUCLEO-G071RB development board. I believe the original bootloader was erased when I flashed the AM32 bootloader. Could you please let me know how to erase the custom bootloader that I programmed myself? If I select FULL CHIP ERASE, will it erase the entire bootloader as well?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Yes, when the chip is completely erased, your custom bootloader, which you previously programmed into the user flash yourself, will also be erased.
