Future of STM32CubeProgrammer

[Robert Ritchey]

Hi,

I have a couple questions about the future of the programmer.

1) Are you planning to add self updating at any time?

2) This is really close to being a useful programmer on the production line. Basically it needs a way to save a configuration for the program code and option bytes. Then be able to read in that configuration and program the flash and options bytes with one command. Any chance you will work towards this?

Thanks,

You can already read out option bytes and program data. Maybe you can't save them to the same configuration file, but is running two commands rather than one really preventing this from being useful?

Hi, Its not the running two commands, its that you need to setup the option byte every time you run the program and this is error prone on an assembly line. You are MUCH less likely to have an error if a saved configuration file can be read in the engineer does and the person on the line does not need to understand what they are doing except to push the program button. Even though there are good people on the line, mistakes get made.

Are you using the command line interface? I would, for a production environment.
Put it in a batch file. All the person has to do is double click that batch file. If they can't do that, no solution will work.
