STM32H573I-DK bricked - RSS_DA not booting, cannot perform DA regression

Hello,

My STM32H573I-DK board is bricked after a failed provisioning attempt.

What happened:

  1. Accidentally changed PRODUCT_STATE from Open (0xED) to 0x17 (Provisioning) via programmer
  2. Then an AI coding assistant (Copilot) attempted some configuration via DFU mode and enabled TrustZone
  3. I no longer have access to the PC where this was done

Current symptoms:

  • SWD: "Unable to get core ID", "Cannot connect to access port 1"
  • DA discovery (debugauth=2): "The target is unable to boot on RSS_DA or is in OPEN mode"
  • DA regression (debugauth=1) with default STM32CubeFW_H5 keys: "Unable to detect DBGMCU Mailbox" or "unable to boot on RSS_DA"
  • DFU (USB0): "Target device not found" (with boot jumper set to SYS/MEM)
  • UART bootloader: timeout

What I tried:

  • SWD with HOTPLUG, UR, HWrst, ap=0, freq=100
  • DA regression with default key_3_leaf.pem and cert_leaf_chain.b64
  • regression.bat from ROT_Provisioning\DA
  • DFU via User USB (CN17) with JP4 on USB-PD position
  • UART via ST-Link VCP

Setup:

  • Board: STM32H573I-DK
  • STM32CubeProgrammer: v2.22.0
  • ST-Link FW: V3J17M10
  • Voltage: 3.31V

Is there any way to recover this board? It seems RSS is not booting, which prevents DA entirely.

Thank you.
