STR73x flashwriting error:timed out while waiting for target

Hello!

I’m trying to program an STR731FV2T6 processor. Flash erasing, dumping works, but I can’t burn the flash. I get the following messages:

flash write_image TDG1_UPD.BIN 0x80000000 bin

timed out while waiting for target halted

error executing str7x flash write algorithm

target not halted

flash writing failed with error code: 0x0

error writing to flash at address 0x80000000 at offset 0x00000000 (-902)

called at file “command.c”, line 473

called at file “embedded:startup.tcl”, line 89

called at file “embedded:startup.tcl”, line 91

called at file “embedded:startup.tcl”, line 93

Just before this flash_write command, I send a ‘halt’ command, so I don’t understand what is happening.

Could someone pls help me?

Thanks,

What flash config line are you using?

if i setup the flash as follows:

flash bank str7.flash str7x 0x80000000 0x00040000 0 0 str7.cpu STR3x

then the offset from this is 0, so to flash i would use:

flash write_image TDG1_UPD.BIN 0 bin

I think this was the same error i got when using 0.4.0RC1 and it is a known problem so I’m using 0.3.1 now

What known problem?

The problem above looks related to incorrect config, not openocd.

Hello!

I solved the problem. The working area that was defined by default couldn’t be used:

$_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-virt 0 -work-area-phys 0x40000000 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0

On the processor I am using, STR731FV2T6, at address from 0x40000000 to 0x4000003F there only config registers, I had to replace the working area start address to 0xA0000000, where the RAM begins :D.

then the offset from this is 0, so to flash i would use:

It is strange, because with offset 0x80000000 the programming is working perfectly.

Cas07: I am using 0.3.1.

Actually you are right, i got mixed up, it wasn’t the error i saw when i needed to downgrade as it finished with “Command handler execution failed”
