STM CircleOS forum / Cannot update Circle OS

jrseattle · 2007-10-14 03:21:54

I received my Primer yesterday and am impressed with its features.
As received, it is running Circle OS V 1.0 so I want to update it to V 1.5

1. I am running Windows Vista Business
2. The batch file Update_Circle_OS.bat does not run well when started from Windows Explorer because the
program "Cortex_pgm" cannot be found (the proper directory is in the path but apparently is not inherited
into a command windows until the next reboot.
3. I added the proper path by hand but now Cortex_pgm fails with error 304: Unable to open USB communication with RLink. I checked the installe devices and it shows the Jungo RLink USB device working properly.
I'll reboot next to see if that makes a differenence.

Here is the batch output:

.
!!! WARNING: This will program the Circle OS into the STM32-Primer. !!!

Please check that the dongle is connected and that the driver is loaded correctly.

Hello,

About your last error: did you check that your Primer is powered up ? Else the RLink cannot be accessed. If you are unsure, check that the USB "Debug" connector is connected to your PC and press the button on your STM32-Primer.

Yes, the primer was powered up. By the way, rebooting Windows Vista did not solve the problem. When trying the debug the "toggle_with_circle" application, I ran into the same problem.

However, installing the USB driver on a Windows XP system, then running the Update_Circle_OS.bat file (and copying some files from the Vista installation) allowed me to update the primer just fine.
I must conclude that the USB driver does not work well (or at all) on Windows Vista.

About the RLink driver, here is a link to a new version that works under Vista:

Thanks, I was able to program the STM32 Primer under Vista.

However, I would like to make a suggestion:

Please make installing the RLink driver as part of the installation an option. You already have 2 options so adding a third should be easy. That way, users are not forced to install a driver on Vista that is KNOWN not to work. Saves a lot of cleaning up.

Thanks

I can not update my Primer now, before ,it is OK.
But , after I download a stm32 program( I get and modify it from other platform board), the primer can not work , when download again(I download the circle OS ,the right program),
it said:
"!!! Error 100: Unexpected state after powering up the debug module."

" Unable to read IDcode."
"Please check that the target is connected."
My be I update the wrong program make it work like this.
the wrong program in RCC set like this:

/* PLLCLK = 8MHz * 9 = 72 MHz */
RCC_PLLConfig(RCC_PLLSource_HSE_Div1, RCC_PLLMul_9);

but ,the Primer 's crystal is 12MHZ, not 8MHZ, and I update with 8MHZ.
Is it the problem?

How can I update my Primer normally again?

Thank you.
