STM32F411VET6将数据存储在R / W闪存中

Question

I am trying to store data in flash memory on a STM32F411VET6. I want the memory to store and stay there even after rebooting the MC. I have looked at this , this , this and this examples but I am still not sure that I am doing this correctly. I was able to create a location in memory (I checked in the map file) with this as my scatter file:

LR_IROM1 0x08000000 0x00080000  {    ; load region size_region
  ER_IROM1 0x08000000 0x00060000  {  ; load address = execution address
   *.o (RESET, +First)
   *(InRoot$$Sections)
   .ANY (+RO)
   .ANY (+XO)
  }
  USER_CONFIG 0x08060000 0x0001FFFF  {
   userConfig.o (+RW)
  }
  RW_IRAM1 0x20000000 0x00020000  {  ; RW data
   .ANY (+RW +ZI)
  }
}

and this for my code (adapted from this example):

__attribute__((__section__("USER_CONFIG"))) const char userValues[64];

void Write_Flash(uint32_t data[], uint8_t flashTypeProgram)
{
  uint8_t addressGap;
  HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
  __HAL_FLASH_CLEAR_FLAG(FLASH_FLAG_EOP | FLASH_FLAG_OPERR | FLASH_FLAG_WRPERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGAERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGSERR);
  FLASH_Erase_Sector(FLASH_SECTOR_7, VOLTAGE_RANGE_3);
  int ii = 0;
  for (ii = 0; ii < 64 / pow(2, flashTypeProgram); ii++)
  {
    addressGap = pow(2, flashTypeProgram) * ii;
    HAL_FLASH_Program(flashTypeProgram, userValues[0] + addressGap, data[ii]);
  }
  HAL_FLASH_Lock();
}

but whenever I build the code I get an error that "No section matches pattern userConfig.o".

Is there anything that I am setting up incorrectly or why if I am missing a call somewhere?

Answer 1

I was able to get the solution with some help from Kamil Cuk that helped me solve some issues. One of the problems I was experiencing with the scatter file was that my load and execution addresses were not the same causing linker to not work as intended (very well explained in this link ). I modified my .sct file to the following:

LR_IROM1 0x08000000 0x00060000  {    ; load region size_region
  ER_IROM1 0x08000000 0x00060000  {  ; load address = execution address
   *.o (RESET, +First)
   *(InRoot$$Sections)
   .ANY (+RO)
   .ANY (+XO)
  }
  RW_IRAM1 0x20000000 0x00020000  {  ; RW data
   .ANY (+RW +ZI)
  }
}

LR_IROM2 0x08060000 0x00020000 {  ; load region size_region
  USER_CONFIG 0x08060000 0x00020000  {
   *(.user_data)
  }
}

This implementation where an additional load region was created would cause my load address and exception address to be the same.

Then, in case someone comes here looking for help as well, here is my code for the flashing:

__attribute__((section(".user_data"))) const char userConfig[64];

[...]

void Write_Flash(uint32_t data[], uint8_t flashTypeProgram)
{
  uint8_t addressGap;
  HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
  __HAL_FLASH_CLEAR_FLAG(FLASH_FLAG_EOP | FLASH_FLAG_OPERR | FLASH_FLAG_WRPERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGAERR | FLASH_FLAG_PGSERR);
  FLASH_Erase_Sector(FLASH_SECTOR_7, VOLTAGE_RANGE_3);
  int ii = 0;
  for (ii = 0; ii < 64 / pow(2, flashTypeProgram); ii++)
  {
    addressGap = pow(2, flashTypeProgram) * ii;
    HAL_FLASH_Program(flashTypeProgram, (uint32_t) &userConfig[0] + addressGap, data[ii]);
  }
  HAL_FLASH_Lock();
}

This program allowed me to store data in internal flash which would remain stored even after a hard reboot where all power was disconnected and then reconnected to the board.
