Elf file - 2 or more segments define the same memory zone?

[Claydonkey]

This is for a STM32H70

When uploading from CubeMx IDE or STM32CubeProgrammer I get these errors:

STM32CubeProgrammer:

Warning: File corrupted, Two or more segments defines the same memory area.

 17:11:15 : Number of segments: 6

 17:11:15 : segment[0]: address= 0x20000000, size= 0x0

The project is using external QSPI for ROM and is defined in the ld file as:

MEMORY

{

 ITCMRAM (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 64K

 QSPI (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0x90000000, LENGTH = 8M

 DTCMRAM1 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 64K

 DTCMRAM2 (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x20010000, LENGTH = 64K

 RAM (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH = 512K

 RAM_NOCACHE (xrw)   : ORIGIN = 0x24080000, LENGTH = 1024K - 512K

 RAM_CD (xrw)  : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 128K

 RAM_SRD (xrw) : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 32K

}

The project compiles fine and the Build analyser reports all memory populated as expected

but when QSPI exceeds around 1MB I cannot upload to the device due to aforementioned.

.

I am also using a self penned "stldr" file for the w95q64 chip. It all works as expected (programs run without issue) until this memory limit is exceeded. I don't know where to correct the problem + any help wis much appreciated.

Yeah, not sure here. They use a lot of libraries to support .ELF files and who knows how well tested and integrated this is.

If those other regions are unused, perhaps comment out some of the MEMORY sections, and bisect the issue until you can see the pairing that actually conflict.

The latest version of STM32 Cube Programmer?

Does the stand-alone do this? GUI and or CLI variants?

@Sara BEN HADJ YAHYA​ can you please investigate the logic behind "Warning: File corrupted. Two or more segments defines the same memory zone", perhaps have it output specifically what regions/sections it deem to be clashing. Thanks -Clive

I wrote the loading algorithm myself and had to port from qspi to octospi HAL commands for the SMT32H7B0 (from 32H743) I think the problem is in the algorithm itself:

Error: Data mismatch found at address 0x90100000 (byte = 0x00 instead of 0xC7)

Error: Download verification failed

I've sorted it out. Sorry I was wasting your time. I had used the wrong address of FLASH in my loader for the DFU Bootloader FLASH (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0x08010000, LENGTH = 64K instead of FLASH (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 64K

Problem still persists
