STM32CubeProgrammer 2.18 BUG on STM32H730

[COSEBE]

Hi,

I found a bug on new version 2.18 STM32Cube programmer.

Of course, I have the same problem with the new version of STM32CubeIde 1.17

It looks file STM32_Prog_DB_0x483.xml in \Data_Base folder has changed between versions 2.17 and 2.18

If I use the file STM32_Prog_DB_0x483.xml from the version 2.17 and I replace this file in version 2.18, I can access my STM32H730 device.

We tried it on 2 different computers.

I do not really understand the xml file differences, so I do not know if I can continue to use STM32_Prog_DB_0x483.xml file of version 2.17 with version 2.18 and STM32CubeIDE 1.17

Do you have a workaround ?

Hi,

this is the message I get when I want to connect to my device

(you have the Device ID at the bottom right)

This is the message I got when I want programming

This is on version 2.18

When I replace the XML file from version 2.17 in version 2.18, no more problem

Hello @COSEBE ,

 

Thank you for your feedback.

I tried connecting an STM32H735 (same Device ID 0x483) and downloading a firmware using version 2.18.0 but couldn't reproduce the issues.

Could you please also provide your option bytes configuration? Thank you in advance !

Can someone from ST team check the XML file and find a safe workaround ?

Hi @Maryem 

Do you have any feedback of this problem.

I just looking for a workaround right now.

I cannot develop my firmware for almost 1 month now.

I Have the same problem. How to get the patch and how to install it?

Hello,

 

The issue has been resolved in STM32CubeProgrammer v2.20.0.

You can download it from this Link.

This is a big problem.

I'm currently having the problem with both versions: STM32CubeIDE v.1.19.0 and STM32CubeProgrammer v.2.20.0 for the STM32L431CBY microcontroller. See the images below.

Could you please suggest a solution as soon as possible? As you can understand, we have deadlines, and this issue has been pending for months!

Would it be better to downgrade while you investigate the issue? Or use and replace the XML database with a previous version, as one user mentioned above?

In any case, could you offer an alternative solution in the meantime?

Thanks in advance.

I am writing to share a temporary solution for the STM32L431CBT6 MCU (ID 0x435) issue.

 

I was able to resolve it by using an older DB file from STMCubeIDEv.1.16.1. This file is attached for your convenience.

 

To implement this solution, please rename the original file and copy the attached file into the following directory: C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.19.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.cubeprogrammer.win32_2.2.200.202503041107\tools\Data_Base

 

 

I hope this helps others facing similar issues while ST works on a permanent fix for their "Configurations."

 

Sincerely,

JaimeR
