An error occurred while uploading the sketch

[mrguen]

Hello,

I just flashed my bluepill with hid_generic_pc13.bin. It seemed to flash properly. But I can't load a sketch. Can there be a verbose output?

Configuration

Windows 7 Pro 64 bits Arduino 1.8.10 Arduino core STM32 1.7.0 HID bootloader 2.2.2 loaded using st-flash.exe write hid_generic_pc13.bin 0x8000000

You should probably enable verbose uploads (and maybe also compilation) in the Arduino IDE, if you're using that, which should show the exact hid-flash commandline that is used. Likely it is being generated wrongly. What STM32 Arduino core are you using?

I'm also having the same error and have verbose enabled and provides no extra details. here is the link to the forum post I created https://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=489&p=3264#p3264

Looks smilar. Still no solution? Kind of newbie here :)

Same here. Selected device is BluePill F130C8, sketch is the "Blink" example, to test it out. Compiler & Uploader verbose are both enabled.

I had the same problem.

this is because Arduino is not invoking the hid-flash command correctly, it's mandatory to supply a second parameter after the filename. If you look at the line just before the red text, hid-flash is invoked with only the filename.

if(argc < 3) { // from hid-flash/main.c printf("Usage: hid-flash <delay (optional)>\n"); return 1; }

My device is on USB so there is no "comport" but I have to put some text there to get past this error, but then it finds the USB device.
