Hello everyone,

I am a new to the STM32 environment and I am trying to change the BOR level of STM32L452. I think I have corrupted the flash while trying to do this. And now when I try to reprogram the device it fails and gives the following error:

And below is my code which caused the issue:

Call from Main.c

if(BOR_Set(BOR_Level_4) == BOR_Result_Ok)
{
HAL_GPIO_WritePin( LED1_PORT, LED1_G_PIN, GPIO_PIN_SET ); // Turn off
HAL_GPIO_WritePin( LED1_PORT, LED1_B_PIN, GPIO_PIN_RESET ); // Turn On
HAL_Delay( pdMS_TO_TICKS( 500 ) );
HAL_GPIO_WritePin( LED1_PORT, LED1_B_PIN, GPIO_PIN_SET ); // Turn off
HAL_GPIO_WritePin( LED1_PORT, LED1_G_PIN, GPIO_PIN_RESET ); // Turn On
}

//-----------------------------------------------

1. include “stm32l4xx.h”

/**

typedef enum {
BOR_Level_0 = OB_BOR_LEVEL_0, /*!< Disable brown-out detection */
BOR_Level_1 = OB_BOR_LEVEL_1, /*!< Set brown out detection level 1 */
BOR_Level_2 = OB_BOR_LEVEL_2, /*!< Set brown out detection level 2 */
BOR_Level_3 = OB_BOR_LEVEL_3, /*!< Set brown out detection level 3 */
BOR_Level_4 = OB_BOR_LEVEL_4
} BOR_Level_t;

BOR_Result_t BOR_Set(BOR_Level_t BORValue)
{
HAL_StatusTypeDef status;
FLASH_OBProgramInitTypeDef FLASH_Handle;

/* Check current BOR value */
if ((BOR_Get() & 0x0F00) != BORValue) // Bit 8 to bit 10 for BOR value.
{
/* Set new value */

/* Select the desired V(BOR) Level */
FLASH_Handle.OptionType = OPTIONBYTE_USER;
FLASH_Handle.USERConfig = FLASH_Handle.USERConfig | (uint32_t)BORValue;
//FLASH_Handle.USERType = OB_USER_BOR_LEV;

HAL_FLASH_Unlock();

/* Unlocks the option bytes block access */
HAL_FLASH_OB_Unlock();

/* Set value */
HAL_FLASHEx_OBProgram(&FLASH_Handle);

/* Launch the option byte loading */
status = HAL_FLASH_OB_Launch();

/* Lock access to registers */
HAL_FLASH_OB_Lock();

HAL_FLASH_Lock();

/* Check success */
if (status != HAL_OK)
{
/* Return error */
return BOR_Result_Error;
}
}

/* Return OK */
return BOR_Result_Ok;
}

Please if someone could point out where I am going wrong in the code as well as how I can reprogram the chip as currently its not responding and its not working. I have ST-LINK/V2 for programming and debugging the device and I am using Ac6 STM32 system workbench with Eclipse IDE.
