STM32 Nucleo-L053R8 board: ''No space left on device'' on linux

Hi,

I am downloading an elf file to STM32 Nucleo-L053R8 board.  The size of elf is given below:

text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename

54700        728       3504      58932       e634    ../mDigitalIO_ADC.elf

In Linux, for the very first time, the elf successfully downloaded to the target and running properly.  But next time if try to download I am facing the following issue:

No space left on device

If the board is disconnected and reconnected to the Linux machine the download is successful but the second time the same issue occurs.

But in windows, the repeated downloading to the target using simple copy commands works well and the elf runs successfully.

Is there any way to download the elf to Nucleo-L053R8 board without disconnect and reconnect on Linux machine without using st-link debugger instead using just 'cp' command.

Regards,

Raghavendra

Does you Nucleo board have a mbed bootloader (or similar) ?

This stuff usually emulates a mass storage device, where you just 'drop in' the executable. And in your case, that bootloader obviously wants to store a second executable 'file'. Not sure what goes on there.

But as a quick fix, you might try to remove the old version before ('rm' command), and pack it all into a script file.

Hi AvaTar,

Thanks for replying back.

The Nucleo board does have a similar mbed bootloader which is provided by ST and is called as ST-Link/v2-1.  I updated the bootloader firmware of the device which is V2.J28.M18.  Still the same issue.

'rm' command will not work because, as soon as executable is loaded the executable disappears.

Any other help is appreciated.

Regards,

Raghavendra

You may need to flash the nucleo firmware.

I had a similar problem...

Those convenience-bootloaders remind me too much of Arduino and similar 'stuff for superficials'.

First thing I always do is to remove them ...

You surely meant .bin rather than .elf

Yes, the executable is .bin which is derived from .elf.

Hi

'No space left on device' ==> df -h
