STM32CubeProgrammer on Raspberry Pi (or other ARM-based Host)

[Andrew Neil]

It's been asked before, but the answer has been, "it's not possible as it is not supported on ARM based devices"; eg,

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeprogrammer-mcus/installing-stm32cubeprogrammer-on-raspberry-pi/m-p/303881/highlight/true#M4329

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeprogrammer-mpus/how-to-install-stm32cubeprogrammer-on-raspbian/m-p/89242/highlight/true#M281

https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeprogrammer-mcus/installing-stm32cubeprogrammer-on-raspberry-pi/td-p/303876

So, is there any plan to make an STM32CubeProgrammer which will run on an ARM-based Linux Host?

It could be quite useful for making a small, portable, standalone programmer ...

Hello @Andrew Neil,

 

This request has already been raised to the dev team, I'll keep you updated on the progress.

Internal ticket number: 176491 (This is an internal tracking number and is not accessible or usable by customers).

Just replying to up the importance of this: our test system uses many, many Raspberry Pis, one to control each board under test and, for whatever reason, OpenOCD (0.12.0-3, latest version from XPack as I write) is not able to flash download to a NUCLEO-U575ZI-Q board reliably (see my post here); I would like to be able to use the "official" ST mechanism on the Raspberry Pi.

I'm waiting for RPi version of STM32 CubeProgrammer too.

[MJawo.2]

@Maryem any update?

[Maryem]

Hello @MJawo.2 ,

 

Unfortunately, there are no updates regarding this request at this time. I will ensure you are updated promptly when progress is made.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello i'm also super interested to have a version of the STM32 tools compatible to a raspberry arm64 based, do you maybe have some information about it ?

[MJawo.2]

I used the https://pyocd.io/ with stm driver pack. 

[Cris42]

Thank you for the link, i check but unfortunatly i don't have a normal rasberry pi board, i'm using a costom one with a rasberry compute module and i have no pin for make connection with jumper cables. I will check the documentation and i will talk with the developer of this costom board but i fink i have no simple way to connect the st board to the rasberry, but i will try. 

 

p.s. : im also using a rasberry module 4s, but i can switch to a 3b if neccerly but in that way i can no longer flash the ESP-IDF board, a feature that i also need in my buard.

A similar question here from @Spam4tea:

STM32 UART/SPI bootload STM32G474 with raspberry pi CM5

 

See that thread for specifications of the SPI & USART Bootloader protocols, and example Host programmer implementations...
