Using STM32CubeProgrammer (v2.2.0) to program SD card of our board (the board is base on STM32MP157C-DK2) but fail and get error message Error: Start operation failed at partition 0x01 Error: TSV flashing service failed

[fctu]

Hi,

Our board is base on STM32MP157C-DK2 and the HW difference are...

1. DK2 CN7 USB Type-C is replaced by micro USB and removed STUSB1600.

2. DK2 CN6 PWR-IN is replaced by DC jack and CC1 is 0.4v to PA4 and CC2 keep 0v to PA5.

And we would like to program SD card (16GB, 8GB) by STM32CubeProgrammer with FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-dk2-trusted.tsv

The programmer can connect to our board via USB and this tsv is work to program DK2.

Meanwhile the BOOT pin configures as USB mode (000b).

Hi @fctu​ 

Even if your board design is very close to DK2 there is a high risk that boot chain and particularly TF-A does not fit.

Did you check console log while programming ? I guess you will notice a failure in TF-A execution. ( explaining why you can't proceed further in flash operation)

Please consider to recompile TF-A with a Device Tree fitting perfectly your design :

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_create_your_board_device_tree

Hope it help,

Olivier

Hi OlivierG,

The programmer can proceed the flash operation since update DTS to TF-A and U-boot.

But the process is stuck on "reconnecting the device ..."

=========================================================

And WINDOWS's device manager cannot recognize this USB device as well.

I'm trying to figure out why the USB connection will be lost when reconnecting.

I appreciate your any feedback.

Many Thanks.

Hi @fctu​ 

Thanks for clarification. Seems then to be a classical issue, that may have various root cause, and for which we have provided this FAQ article :

https://community.st.com/s/article/FAQ-STM32MP1-STM32CubeProgrammer-USB-reconnect-error-at-STM32MP1-boot-device-flashing

Hope this help,

Olivier

[fctu]

Hi OlivierG,

Thanks for your helping, the problem had been solved.

The root cause was the OTG_VBUS did not wire properly since we removed STUSB1600.

The DFU function is working well now.

Many Thanks,

FC
