SW4STM32 and SW4Linux fully supports the STM32MP1 asymmetric multicore Cortex/A7+M4 MPUs

   With System Workbench for Linux, Embedded Linux on the STM32MP1 family of MPUs from ST was never as simple to build and maintain, even for newcomers in the Linux world. And, if you install System Workbench for Linux in System Workbench for STM32 you can seamlessly develop and debug asymmetric applications running partly on Linux, partly on the Cortex-M4.
You can get more information from the ac6-tools website and download (registration required) various documents highlighting:

How to reprogram STM32 when the flash is corrupted

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_RESET ); // Turn On
}

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.

I solved the reprogramming problem by using ST link utility software. I was able to connect the chip, read the option bytes through the software and set the corrupted fields accordingly. After that I erased the complete chip and reprogrammed the chip with the help of “.bin” generated by Eclipse. Once done I checked the same with Eclipse IDE if I could program or debug the chip and yes I could.
