STM32H503RBT6 Flash erase

[PRAKKU12]

I have a requirement to implement CAN based bootloader in my STM32h503rbt6 controller. Right now iam working on the testing of Flash functions which i have written on my own.My flash write, read and erase all are working fine.but when iam erasing flash sector wise,here comes the problem.after sector 7, from sector 8 onwards with y function i cant abe to erase.but i want full memory controll over my st controller flash.then only i can decide which part of flash i can use for my bootloader and which part of flash i can use for my application.

HAL_StatusTypeDef Flash_Erase_Sector(uint32_t sector)
{
 while (FLASH->NSSR & FLASH_SR_BSY);

 if (FLASH->NSCR & FLASH_CR_LOCK)
 {
 FLASH->NSKEYR = FLASH_KEY1;
 FLASH->NSKEYR = FLASH_KEY2;
 }

 /* Clear valid flags only */
 FLASH->NSCCR =
 FLASH_CCR_CLR_EOP
 | FLASH_CCR_CLR_PGSERR
 | FLASH_CCR_CLR_WRPERR;

 FLASH->NSCR &= ~FLASH_CR_SNB_Msk;
 FLASH->NSCR |= FLASH_CR_SER;
 FLASH->NSCR |= (sector << FLASH_CR_SNB_Pos);
 FLASH->NSCR |= FLASH_CR_START;

 while (FLASH->NSSR & FLASH_SR_BSY);

 FLASH->NSCR &= ~FLASH_CR_SER;
 FLASH->NSCR |= FLASH_CR_LOCK;

 return HAL_OK;
}

Even after checking the datasheet, I could not identify why erasing sectors beyond sector 7 is failing.
Please help me identify the root cause and provide a proper solution.i have attached my project file

The STM32H503RBT6 only has 8 sectors per bank. You can't erase sectors that don't exist. That is the root cause.

The proper solution would be to restrict yourself to sectors that exist, or move to a chip with more memory if you need it.

 

Maybe you meant to erase sector 0 of bank 2 rather than "sector 8".

in that case how can i erase bank 2 sector 0.

I suggest using HAL_FLASHEx_Erase.

Well, set the bank number to 1 and sector number to 0 in FLASH->CR.

As @TDK said, look at the HAL_FLASHEx_Erase() function:

The FLASH_EraseInitTypeDef structure contains  fields to specify the Sector & Bank:

As @gbm suggested, you select the Bank in the Flash configuration register:
