OK, I'm able to program this using Cortex_pgm in a DOS window:

=================

G:\Engineering Share\Current Product\800>cortex_pgm TSTM32F101CBT6 E P800-0141-1
00.hex
Cortex_pgm: software for programming Cortex chips using a RLink as master.

however I would rather use RFlasher if possible. The above is not an appropriate solution but it does make a viable workaround in a pinch.

Hi,

This is a very strange problem.
Are you using JTAG or SWD?

Please make this test, that will help me understand the issue:
Erase the flash of the device using 'Cortex_pgm TSTM32F101CBT6 E B'.
Then, try to use the 'Program' command in RFlasher to program your hex file to the flash.
Tell me the result of the test.

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hi,

After making some tests, I think that your problem is related to RFlasher being unable to store the options in its temp file...

Please confirm that you installed the software while logged in with a user account that has admin rights.

Please try the connection using this same user account, if the problems you describe have been observed with a different account.

Please try to change the options (target CPU, JTAG/SWD protocol, Option bytes action), close RFlasher and reopen it, and see if the options that you changed are still like you set them, or if they have been put back to their default values.

Please check that the RFlasher7.dbi file is modified whenever you change one of the options. (look at its date)
On Vista, this file is here: (possibly on a different drive)
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\RFlasher7\RFlasher7.dbi
On XP it is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\RFlasher7\RFlasher7.dbi

Make sure that you have write access to this folder and its parent, that you are able to create sub-folders and text files there.

Please let me know the results of these tests.

Best Regards,

Vincent

PLEASE SEE MY INTERLINEAR RESPONSES TO YOUR REQUESTS. -- LK

Please confirm that you installed the software while logged in with a user account that has admin rights.

THERE IS ONLY ONE USER ON MY SYSTEM, "ADMINISTRATOR" WITH MY LOGIN "LARRYKOEN". I PRESUME THAT THIS FULFILLS YOUR REQUIREMENT HERE. -- LK

Please try to change the options (target CPU, JTAG/SWD protocol, Option bytes action), close RFlasher and reopen it, and see if the options that you changed are still like you set them, or if they have been put back to their default values.

RFLASHER ORIGINALLY CAME UP AS SWD AND I CHANGED IT TO JTAG YESTERDAY, THEN CLOSED IT. IT'S STILL JTAG TODAY AFTER REOPENING. TODAY I DID THE SAME WITH THE OPTION BYTES SECTION, CHANGING "LEAVE AS IS" TO "PROGRAM" AND CHECKING "READ-OUT PROTECTION." THESE CAME UP AS I'D SET THEM AFTER CLOSING/REOPENING RFLASHER. -- LK

Please check that the RFlasher7.dbi file is modified whenever you change one of the options. (look at its date)

THE DATE IS THE SAME AS WHEN I EXITED RFLASHER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT I CHANGED AN OPTION. -- LK

Make sure that you have write access to this folder and its parent, that you are able to create sub-folders and text files there.

I AM USING XP. I CAN CREATE SUB-FOLDERS AND TEXT FILES THERE, SO EVIDENTLY I DO HAVE WRITE ACCESS. -- LK
