STM32 Programmer segmentation fault when flashing eMMC

[Manuel Malagon]

I’m having a nasty issue with flashing the eMMC. When I execute STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=USB1 -w FlashLayout_emmc_osd32mp1-red-trusted.tsv I’m getting this:

Does anyone have an idea why I’m getting this segmentation fault?

Manuel,

I have seen a similar error, but after the board was finished flashing. You could try re-installing Cube Programmer or using a previous version, may be 2.5/2.4.

Best,

Neeraj

Neeraj,

You are right, I just moved the boot switches to boot from flash and it is working. I don’t know why it crashes at the end and I guess it doesn’t matter as long as it flashes the eMMC correctly.

I haven’t tried with 2.5 or 2.4 yet.

Just in case anyone lands here…

Do not use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.6.0!! It will corrupt the flash and you will not have HDMI output, (and maybe something else will be wrong). The resulting eMMC image seemed to work correctly for me and the only apparent issue was no HDMI output. But I’m not sure if it had another hidden issue.

I used STM32CubeProgrammer v2.5.0, it doesn’t crash and it will correctly flash the eMMC.
