CubeProgrammer fails to reconnect over USB after U-Boot stage

[AMurr.2282]

I've been having this problem for a while now. I open one of the trusted flashlayout (.tsv) files in STM32CubeProgrammer. I can connect to the target board over USB without issue. I click "Download" and it successfully downloads tf-a-stm32mp-serialboot and also successfully downloads u-boot-stm32mp.

However, when U-Boot is executed, the target board fails to reconnect over USB. Here is the dmesg output:

Eventually, STM32CubeProgrammer times out because it is unable to connect to the target to download the kernel.

What could the cause for this be? I have looked at the USB configuration in the u-boot device tree many times and have followed the wiki, and it all looks correct.

Hi @AMurr.2282​ 

Does this dedicated article may give you some clues ?

Hi Olivier

I have tried everything in the article but I cannot get this to work. The article says it should reconnect as "USB download gadget" after u-boot has been downloaded. This does not happen with our board. Instead, we get error messages:

Is it possible that u-boot is broken?

The hardware connections look fine. OTG ID pin is high (3.3V) and VBUS is 5V and is connected to PMIC.

Here is the u-boot device tree. Do you see any issues here?

Hi,

I assume you are using your own custom board.

Are you using latest CubeProgrammer ? On W10, Linux PC or Virtual Machine ? On VM, there is some settings to ensure the USB are 'routed' to the VM.

Is you DDR memory working, did you tuned it and tested it using DDRTool ?

Btw, maybe look also at following articles:

Hi @Hgvfd.1​ ,

If all hints provided in this article does not help, I would rather recommend you to open a new post with complete description of your environment ( Soc, board, SW version) and traces from both CubeProg and target.

Thx,

Olivier
