GD32F130 problem to download the code above address 0x80016A0

1

Hello everyone, I’m having a problem that I can’t solve and I think you can help me.

I have a GD32f130 microcontroller and I am not able to write code above address 0x80016A0.

Below this address it records correctly and it works. When I make a program more than 16A0, it no longer records.

Here is a code example that when build in Platformio and loading the .bin file gives the problem. I used The STM32CubeProgrammer and the STM32 Link Utility, with firmware updated. ST-Link V2

I already tried cleaning the chip and then recording, always the same error.

PROGRAMMING ERROR @ 0X08000000

I suspect that the .bin or elf file is being generated with an error.

Thanks in advance

https://github.com/flo199213/Hoverboard-Firmware-Hack-Gen2 is not a PlatformIO project. How did you turn it into a PlatformIO project? Or are you using https://github.com/flo199213/Hoverboard-Firmware-Hack-Gen2/pull/16

Hi Max,

Yes, it is, but now I realized that maybe I’m using the wrong recording method.

I’m trying to record using the STM32 Cube programmer.

I believe I should record through Platformio. Strange, because it worked up to the size of the mentioned code, but still not working.

Here my platformio

[platformio]
src_dir = Src
include_dir = Inc

[env]
platform_packages =
maxgerhardt/framework-spl@2.10301.0

[env:GD32F130C8T6]
platform = ststm32
board = gd32f130c8
debug_tool = stlink
framework = spl
build_flags = -IInc
extra_scripts = add_nanolib.py

I was having the exact same problem but found the solution. It seems like some GD32F130 are faulty and it won’t be easy to write firmware to them; neither through STMCubeProgrammer, nor keil, nor platformio, nor stlink-utility (even though we are just trying to upload some .hex or .bin file) BUT you will be able to upload it with st-flash (GitHub - stlink-org/stlink: Open source STM32 MCU programming toolset) here’s the original comment that I found and tested and worked (Can't flash firmware · Issue #8 · EFeru/hoverboard-sideboard-hack-GD · GitHub). And here’s the command that I ran: st-flash --reset write .pio/build/genericGD32F130C8/firmware.bin 0x08000000
