Populate the target and boot the image example with STM32MP157D-DK1

[YaelSanchez]

I am trying to flash the bootable image onto the STM32MP157D-DK1 device. The image I’m using is the latest version available on the OpenSTLinux Starter Package download page. I am using the STM32CubeProgrammer tool on both Windows and Linux, and every time I try, I receive the same error message at the same partition during installation — approximately at 20% of the installation of partition 0x12. The following message appears:

21:10:35 : Disconnected from device.

When it reaches that point, the device powers off and restarts. I’ve tried all kinds of power sources, and none seem to have worked. Interestingly, when I install a different version of the OpenSTLinux Starter Package — specifically this one: stm32mp1-openstlinux-5.15-yocto-kirkstone-mp1-v22.11.23 — I can successfully flash it to the device.

However, I don’t know if it depends on the version of the image I install, but unfortunately, when I flash that version to the device, I can no longer use STM32CubeIDE. I can’t connect to the device through the ST-Link port, and I can’t do anything in the IDE — it doesn’t recognize the device. I already updated the driver through the software, but I still can’t get it to work.

Hi @YaelSanchez 

from time to time, we have seen few boards having trouble when flashloading at 800MHz.

To confirm root cause, could you try this modified .tsv which flashload at 650MHz (but the code flashed is still the 800MHz one) ?

(Only two first lines changed to 157a instead of 157d)

Hi @PatrickF 

First of all, I want to thank you for your quick response. I already tried what you suggested, but the same issue still occurs, exactly in the same partition 0x12 with the same symptom — the flashing stops around 20%. In any case, I’m attaching the full log so you can review it in case I made a mistake.

Hi,

regarding timestamps, seems there is probably an issue with USB speed or the SD-Card itself.

Flashing speed is extremely slow (e.g. 5 minutes for 16MB, whereas it should be in the 10 seconds range).

Maybe check your USB cable, try a different port, try another SD-Card, etc....

 

Regards.
