32L4R9IDISCOVERY FLASH_FastProgram; Problem with source=destination

Open gojimmypi opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the set-up

I am using the VisualGDB extension for Visual Studio.

Describe the bug

I noticed the the HAL_FLASH_Program failed to program when the source was the same as the destination. I have a fix that puts the source data in a different variable, but someone may wish to look at the HAL and do some error checking if the source and destination addresses to program are then same.

How To Reproduce

Compile and run as-is.

Screenshots

Here, we see the src_addr address being set to same address of Data64_To_Prog in Flash. (which is not very interesting, particularly after the flash is erased.

Hi @gojimmypi,

I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your proposal. Currently, there is no plan to consider this use-case.

Moreover, in the examples provided showing how to use the fast programming feature, it is indicated that the area to program should be in a different bank, as shown in the code snippet below.
