STM8L150G4 - clearing ROP option

[lwojdziak]

Hello,

I have problem with clearing ROP (Read-Out Ptotection) byte in STM8L150. I have device with protected bytes set. I trying to set this byte to 0xAA, then reset the device and again set ROP to 0xAA - according ST PM0054, p.5.2. After this procedure ROP is still equal 0x00 and writing is disabled.

I checked that I can freely modify bytes 0x4801 - 0x480C. I can't modify only 0x4800.

What's STM8L150G4? An STM8 variant no longer or not yet available? Google finds only this ticket.

Sorry, my fault. Of course this is STM8L151G4U6.

Hello, Has anyone solved this issue? According to ST Programming manual: "To unprotect the device, the ROP must be written twice: the first write, with any value, launches a global erase which includes the option byte; the second write, 0xAA, unprotects the device, and then the 0xAA value remains in the ROP byte. Please note the EOP should be checked each time. "

However launching the procedure twice doesn't make it even though it says 'Writing binary file 1 bytes at 0x4800... OK'.

The branch by cpldcpu could have a solution.

Issue still unsolved on stm8l151g6. I manged to unlock rop with openocd but stm8flash still can not do this.

Today I tried writing 13B: AA 00 00 ..... inside-u(nlock) parameter implemented: write 0xAA read eop -> 0x14 (EOP bit is 1) write 0xAA I put it in UNLOCK action after in block of if (part->read_out_protection_mode == ROP_STM8L){}

if (part->read_out_protection_mode == ROP_STM8L) {
        fprintf(stderr, "ROP_STM8L\n");

        int bytes_count_align = ((bytes_count-1)/256+1)*256; // Reading should be done in blocks of 256 bytes
        unsigned char *bufr = malloc(bytes_count_align);
        if(!bufr) spawn_error("malloc failed");

        for (int i=0; i<bytes_to_write;i++) {
            buf[i]=0xAA;
            if (i>0) buf[i]=0x00;
            fprintf(stderr, "%x ", buf[i]);
        }
        /* flashing MCU */
        sent = pgm->write_range(pgm, part, buf, start, bytes_to_write, memtype);

        int recv = pgm->read_range(pgm, part, bufr, 0x5054, bytes_count_align);
        for(int b=0; i<sizeof(bufr);i++){
            fprintf(stderr, "\nBytes read:");
            fprintf(stderr, "%x ", bufr[i]);
        }

        if(recv < bytes_count_align) {
            fprintf(stderr, "\r\nRequested %d bytes but received only %d.\r\n", bytes_count_align, recv);
            spawn_error("Failed to read MCU");
        }

        sent = pgm->write_range(pgm, part, buf, start, bytes_to_write, memtype);
    }

but thi still doesnot work.
