NUCLEO-F767ZI: unknown chip id! 0x5fa0004 + FIX

[gvdhoven]

Thank you for giving feedback to the stlink project.

• [X] I made serious effort to avoid creating duplicate or nearly similar issue. I have read all other issues describing this error code but no fixes helped in my case.

In order to allow developers and other contributors to isolate and target your respective issue, please take some time to fill out each of the following items appropriate to your specific problem:

• Programmer/board type: NUCLEO-F767ZI
• Operating system and version:Mac OS X
• Stlink tools version: 1.6.1
• Stlink commandline tool name: st-flash
• Target chip (and board if applicable): NUCLEO-F767ZI

Futher we kindly ask you to describe the detected problem as detailed as possible and to add debug output if available, by using the following template:

Commandline-Output:

2020-09-25T11:16:11 WARN common.c: unknown chip id! 0x5fa0004
Failed to connect to target

Expected/description:

Connection successful, be able to flash using st-flash. The tool does send a reset command over USB but nothing more happens.

Updating the board to the latest firmware (https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-programmers/stsw-link007.html#tools-software) solved the problem.

please stop assigning me :)

[stappersg]

@gvdhoven do know that the first assigning was done after the issue was closed.

In #1007 and #1049 was a simular assign after close done.

@Nightwalker-87 I think it is good thing to add a note to #1000 that assignment after close is done for statistic reasons to easy count whom has closing an issue.

If there are other reasons for assignment please also add it to #1000

@all_of_us Libre software is about which common interests we have.

That implies among other things accepting assignment of close issues. As in Be happy that it is done and also Do not whine about assignment on done tasks.

@gvdhoven: This does not prevent you from unsubscribing from eventual further notifications. As @stappersg mentioned correctly, this is solely to keep track on contributors to this FOSS software with respect to licensing terms.

ah ok, good 👍 happy to help in that case :)
