Boot modes: flash/ROM (system memory)/RAM
|
||
|
|
Bootloader or not/purpose/various programming methods
|
||
|
|
* UART
|
||
|
|
* ST-LINK
|
||
|
|
* DFU
|
||
|
|
Arduino boot loader: dual device issue (serial ACM vs DFU)
|
||
|
|
* reset -> loader (3s) -> user app
|
||
|
|
* when ACM app detects DTR toggle, reset USB bus (or reset MCU???)
|
||
|
|
and switch back to DFU loader
|
||
|
|
* rogerclarke
|
||
|
|
* support recently integrated in official STM32duino
|
||
|
|
Bare boot loader: DFU only, by default one shot at reset, no support
|
||
|
|
for switching back through DTR (no ACM!)
|
||
|
|
Requires a sketch which implements the ACM dev (SerialUSB)
|
||
|
|
For some reason the distributed combined loader+sketch does not
|
||
|
|
work.
|
||
|
|
Perpetual loader mode (stay in DFU)
|
||
|
|
Once first sketch is programmed, it contains ACM support for
|
||
|
|
loading the next one... *If* the correct programming mode is
|
||
|
|
selected while building the sketch!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternative: HID bootloader (not thoroughly investigated)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliability issue (host sometimes unable to open ACM)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ST-LINK is superior (no 3s delay at boot time, reliable programming)
