Hello,

Im having an issue with flashing of OpenSTLinux on STM32MP157F-DK2

 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 STM32CubeProgrammer v2.21.0 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------



USB speed : High Speed (480MBit/s)
Manuf. ID : STMicroelectronics
Product ID : DFU in HS Mode @Device ID /0x500, @Revision ID /0x0000
SN : 002C001F3133511735343431
DFU protocol: 1.1
Board : --
Device ID : 0x500
Device name : STM32MP15xx
Device type : MPU

Error: failed to download Sector[0]
Error: failed to download the File
Error: Download partition 0x03 failed
Error: TSV flashing service failed

Its happening on the most recent version of STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux Starter Package (v6.1.0) as well as STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux Distribution Package. It is also worth mentioning that the most recent version that I was able to successfully flash is Starter Package v5.0.0. Versions between v6.1.0 and v5.0.0 were failing on Partition ID: 0x10 (either userfs or rootfs). I have already tried like sugested in this post but no with no luck. Is this some known issue?

Thanks in advance

BR,
Aleksander

Hi,

Did you use a Virtual Machine ?

There is a common issue when uBoot try to reconnect USB (in place of BootROM) and this new USB DFU is not correctly 'routed' to the VM (need to setup this in the VM).

Anyway, strange that behavior depend on Starter Package version.

Does it fail in the middle of the FIP download ?

Is it possible to get UART console log of the board (using the board STLINK USB VCP connector) ?

Could you try loading TSV for the stm32mp157c-dk2 board ?

Regards.

Hello,
Thanks for your response. Im not using VM nor WSL.

Yes, it fails at 56% as shown in the logs from my initial post.

Logs stop there as the board is not booting to U-Boot

It is resulting in the same STM32CubeProgrammer logs as well as the same UART output

Hi @xmisgu

CubeProg 2.21 is the very latest version published last week.

Can you make a try with previous 2.20 ?

Thanks

Olivier
