Hi.

Thanks for your former help Vincent. I have another problem though;

I have some code that needs to go into bank 0 of our STR710FZ2, and some other code that needs to go into bank 1. Using RFlasher this is easily achieved, but STR7_pgm.exe doesn't allow me to program into bank 1. It seems to program just fine (and takes a long time finishing - much longer than RFlasher with the same task), and ends without error. But upon checking the flash bank 1 is blank - nothing is programmed in bank 1. I use this command line for instance:

"STR7_pgm.exe TSTR710FZ2 PC:\B1.hex" B1.hex containing records to go into memory space from 0x400C0000 to 0x400C3FFF. And all this works with the exact same setup from RFlasher mind you.

A secondary problem is that if I program something in bank 0 and then something else in bank 1 (with RFlasher), then I cannot verify the content of bank 1, since verify complains about the content of bank 0 (it expects all of bank 0 to be 0xFF since the file with which I verify bank 1 against does not contain any records in bank 0 memory space). And STR7_pgm.exe does not honor the S switch so I potentially could ask it only to verify bank 1 and never mind bank 0. Are there plans on implementing the use of switch S in the STR7_pgm.exe, or will this switch not ever be useful for anything?

Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
Steen

Hi,

Are you sure that you are using the latest version of STR7_pgm? It should program bank1. And it handles the S switch for programmation. (not for verification, but we will of course do that too in a future version, even though I cannot commit on any date) See this link for more information:

Thanks Vincent - I hadn't seen the newer version of STR7_pgm. I have downloaded it and will try it out in the next few days.

Cheers,

Hi,

That exe didn't solve the problem unfortunately - it still won't program flash bank 1 of the 710FZ2. The file you pointed to in the other thread is from 4th of april - are you sure that was the correct one?

Cheers,
Steen

Hi,

Yes, you were using the latest fix, but this update didn't fix your problem, it seems.

Here are some new files:
ftp://www.raisonance.com/pub/forum/STR7_pgm_070606_Bank1/STR7_pgm_test_070606_Bank1.zip

I could program Bank1 with them.

Please tell us if it solves your problems.

Best Regards,

Vincent
