Flashing issue with different cfg file

[laurenbramblett]

Hello,

I am trying to flash the gap8 bootloader with a JTAG 20-10 connector and an ST-Link-v2. I know that the ST-Link-v2 is JTAG enabled according to its documentation and supported by openOCD, but when I try the following command:
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/module/ --device /dev/ttyUSB0 --privileged -P bitcraze/aideck /bin/bash -c 'export GAPY_OPENOCD_CABLE=interface/stlink.cfg; source /gap_sdk/configs/ai_deck.sh; cd /module/; make all image flash'

I get the following errors:
gapy --target=ai_deck --platform=board --work-dir=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS run --image --binary=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS/bootloader
gapy --target=ai_deck --platform=board --work-dir=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS run --flash --binary=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS/bootloader
make: Nothing to be done for 'image'.
gapy --target=ai_deck --platform=board --work-dir=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS run --flash --force --binary=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS/bootloader

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,

The important part of the error is embedded:startup.tcl:26: Error: Can't find interface/ftdi/stlink.cfg, the file interface/ftdi/stlink.cfg does not exist, it is not the right path. It should instead be interface/stlink.cfg.

I apologize, I copied the wrong error code. That was just one of my iterations. Here it is with "interface/stlink.cfg":
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/module/ --device /dev/ttyUSB0 --privileged -P bitcraze/aideck /bin/bash -c 'export GAPY_OPENOCD_CABLE=interface/stlink.cfg; source /gap_sdk/configs/ai_deck.sh; cd /module/; make all image flash'

Gives the following error:

gapy --target=ai_deck --platform=board --work-dir=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS    run --image --binary=/module/BUILD/GAP8_V2/GCC_RISCV_FREERTOS/bootloader

I am not sure why you are getting this error, the STLink is supposed to support jtag.

In out tests, we never managed to flash the GAP-8 with an STLink, we only managed with an Olimex programming probe or a J-Link (see https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/tutorials/getting-started-with-aideck/#gap8-bootloader-for-the-aideck-1-0-or-aideck-1-1-rev-a-c-). So it is likely you will need to find another programming probe in order to flash the gap8.
