How do I send you a schematic?

Hi,

Thanks for the answers. Please send the schematic at this email address:

Please include a link to this post in the text of the email, for reference.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

I received your schematic, which looks fine. The usual traps have been avoided. You might just want to try to remove the C46 capa on RST, and to short-circuit D15, to see if it makes a difference.

In your schematic, the device is a ST72F324J4, but in the answers to the form, you say that it's a ST72F324BJ6. (I guess the double 'B' was a typo, as there is no ST72F324BBJ6) Which one are you really using? The 'B' and the '6' make a big difference. You must be sure to select in Ride the same device that is really connected.

Also, your version of Ride is not the latest. Some corrections concerning the ST72F324xx devices have been made in the latest release, and that might explain the problem. Please download and install the new versions of the two (or more) kits that you are using from this page:

Remember you must update both the Ride and STM8-ST7 kits. (at least)

Best Regards,

Vincent

The device is a ST72F324BJ6. I've removed C46 and jumpered around D15. This has no effect. This board has successfully been programmed using STVP version 2.0.0. The selection for is ST25F324X6. The programmer is a ST7MDT20J-EPB. It functions fine. Either program fails to work with R-Link and its associated adaptor. This is now starting to impact production. Do you want me to send you a board for your troubleshooting?
