STM32F410RBTx not supported

[thebiguno]

Hello all,

I am trying to program an STM32F410RBTx chip with stlink, and it is failing with error:

wyatt@behemoth:~/stm32f410/led$ /opt/stlink/st-flash write led.bin 0x8000000
2016-05-18T21:59:59 INFO /src/common.c: Loading device parameters....
2016-05-18T21:59:59 WARN /src/common.c: unknown chip id! 0x10006458

Looking at include/stlink/chipid.h I can see that there is no entry for ID 458. Unfortunately I am not clear on the different parameters in src/chipid.c to add this chip myself, as I am quite new to ARM programming.

I am programming the chip on a custom board via the NUCLEO F411RE dev board in target mode. I know the programmer works, as I can program it correctly using st-link. I know the custom board + chip works as I can program it via the Nucleo in USB mass storage mode.

I would prefer to use this command line tool for programming, as it integrates with Makefiles better than the USB mass storage programming mode; plus it will open up my options for other programmers (not just using the Nucleo).

• Programmer/board type: NUCLEO F411RE board in target mode (CN2 not bridged)
• Operating system: Debian Jessie
• Stlink tools version and/or git commit hash: 1.2.0-27-gad39787
• Stlink commandline tool name: st-flash
• Target chip (and optional board): STM32F410RBTx

Output:

wyatt@behemoth:~/stm32f410/led$ /opt/stlink/st-flash write led.bin 0x8000000
2016-05-18T21:59:59 INFO /src/common.c: Loading device parameters....
2016-05-18T21:59:59 WARN /src/common.c: unknown chip id! 0x10006458

Expected/description:
st-link does not appear to support the STM32F410RBTx chip.

Could you test with 9c635e4 I have not tested it on real hardware.

Sorry for the delay in testing, yesterday was crazy.

Anyway, it is getting closer, but not quite there yet. This is the output now:

Thanks!

There is something wrong now with selection of the correct flash loader because the coreid is not recognized.

[thebiguno]

Is this something that you need from me? I would be happy to help but am not clear on what you need.

[xor-gate]

I'm not sure yet either because the flash loader mechanism is build by other people. I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't recognized correctly. What it does: st-flash writes a program (flash loader) in to SRAM and then runs it. Then the interaction is done using the flash loader to program the internal memory.

[thebiguno]

Gotcha. When you figure it out, let me know what I can do to help.
