Hello,

I like to program my STM32F103 with the ST-link/V2 device by using openOCD.

However I got next message:

Error: flash write failed at address 0x80016f8

Error: error writing to flash at address 0x08000000 at offset 0x00000000

By using the ST-link Utility, it works fine with the same programmer.

I am using the stm32f1x\_stlink.cfg target script and next openocd script for writing:

I call this script from my makefile (IMGFILE is my binary)

roc stm\_flash {IMGFILE} {

reset halt

sleep 10

wait\_halt 2

flash write\_image erase $IMGFILE 0x08008000

sleep 10

verify\_image $IMGFILE 0x08008000

sleep 10

reset run

}

Does anyone has an idea what is going on?

Regards Evert Huijben
