STM32 Cube Programmer 2.13 handling of hybrid sector sizing tables

[Tesla DeLorean]

I have an external loader that needs to describe

32 x 4K Erase Blocks

1 x 128KB Erase Block @ 0x90020000

511 x 256KB Erase Blocks @ 0x90040000

The decoding of the base address resets to 0x90000000 for some inexplicable reason

Hello @Community member​ ,

Thanks for your feedback,

Could you please send me the external loader's source code for further check?

Thanks in advance,

Sara.

I'm not sure that's necessary to debug a static decode failure on the application side.

​

T​he index and address should keep advancing, the order and sequence of the sizing looks correct. So it's reading the table of counts / sizes.

​

O​ther aspects of the loader are working properly. And if passed a memory range the Erase function in the loader decomposes it appropriately.

Ok, when check boxing the 128KB sector, the one that lives at 0x90020000, the tools pass the loader an EraseSector(0x90000000), so the address computation code is some how broken.

Hello @Community member​ ,

Sorry for the late reply,

Could you please send me the dev_inf.c file ?

Thanks in advance,

Sara.

It's an enumerated list of counts and sizes, should be apparent from table in binary
