STM CircleOS forum / Primer2 and Circle_Mgr problem

Marek · 2009-05-12 08:31:16

Hello,
I encountered a problem when using circle_mgr.exe. If I remove any of application (i.e. circle_mgr etoggle) and restart CircleOS (circle_mgr s) Primer2 hangs and is necessary to boot the system from the beginning (Program_Primer2_CircleOS_only.bat or Program_Primer2_Factory.bat). Joystick, MEMS and touch screen are not responding.
This is inconvenient because then I testing an application I must after each removal reload entire system, and then new application version, besides that I can rather quickly reach the limit of programming STM32F103VERT6.
I am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem using the STM32 Primer2 which appears in the CircleOS 3.6 and 3.71.

Regards,
Marek

We confirm the problem and we will fix it.
Circle_Mgr erases for the FAT a whole block (sector), but sectors are 2KB on Primer2 (high density STM32) instead of 1KB for the Primer1 (medium density STM32). Therefore, the top of CircleOS is erased when erasing the FAT.
Thanks for the report.

Dear Marek,

We have fixed the Circle_Mgr problem.

You can find the new version of the exe in the Primer2_Upgrade.zip, located in the "Resources" page.

Be carrefull, you must copy the following files into your $1 directory :
- circle_mgr.exe,
- cortex_pgm.exe,
- cortexdrv.dll,
- monitortools.dll,
- RLink_WinUSB.dll.

and also the following files into your $1 directory :
- stm32f103rbt6_circleos.sim,
- stm32f103vet6_circleos.sim.

Regards.
