  -a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
                        Target address for read, write or erase. (default: 134217728)
  -g ADDRESS, --go-address ADDRESS
                        Start executing from address (0x08000000, usually).
  -f FAMILY, --family FAMILY
                        Device family to read out device UID and flash size; e.g F1 for STM32F1xx. Possible values: F0,
                        F1, F3, F4, F7, H7, L4, L0, G0, NRG. (default: $STM32LOADER_FAMILY).
  -V, --verbose         Verbose mode.
  -q, --quiet           Quiet mode.
  -s, --swap-rts-dtr    Swap RTS and DTR: use RTS for reset and DTR for boot0.
  -R, --reset-active-high
                        Make RESET active high.
  -B, --boot0-active-low
                        Make BOOT0 active low.
  -n, --no-progress     Don't show progress bar.
  -P {even,none}, --parity {even,none}
                        Parity: "even" for STM32, "none" for BlueNRG. (default: even)
  --version             show program's version number and exit

examples:
  stm32loader --port COM7 --family F1
  stm32loader --erase --write --verify example/main.bin
```
<!-- [[[end]]] -->

## Command-line example

```
stm32loader --port /dev/tty.usbserial-ftCYPMYJ --erase --write --verify somefile.bin
```

This will pre-erase flash, write `somefile.bin` to the flash on the device, and then
perform a verification after writing is finished.

You can skip the `--port` option by configuring environment variable
`STM32LOADER_SERIAL_PORT`.
Similarly, `--family` may be supplied through `STM32LOADER_FAMILY`.

To read out firmware and store it in a file:

```
stm32loader --read --port /dev/cu.usbserial-A5XK3RJT --family F1 --length 0x10000 --address 0x08000000 dump.bin 
```


To erase the full device:

```
stm32loader --erase --port /dev/cu.usbserial-A5XK3RJT
```

Or erase only a specific region of the flash:

```
stm32loader --erase --address 0x08000000 --length 0x2000 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-A5XK3RJT
```

## Alternatives

If you don't need the flexibility of a Python tool, you can take
a look at other similar tools in `ALTERNATIVES.md`.


## Electrically

The below assumes you are connecting an STM32F10x.
For other chips, the serial pins and/or the BOOT0 / BOOT1 values
may differ.

Make the following connections:

- Serial adapter `GND` to MCU `GND`.
- Serial adapter power to MCU power or vice versa (either 3.3 or 5 Volt).
- Note if you're using 5 Volt signaling or 3V3 on the serial adapter.
- Serial `TX` to MCU `RX` (`PA10`).
- Serial `RX` to MCU `TX` (`PA9`).
- Serial `DTR` to MCU `RESET`.
- Serial `RTS` to MCU `BOOT0` (or `BOOT0` to 3.3V).
- MCU `BOOT1` to `GND`.

If either `RTS` or `DTR` are not available on your serial adapter, you'll have to
manually push buttons or work with jumpers.
When given a choice, set `BOOT0` manually high and drive `RESET` through the serial
adapter (it needs to toggle, whereas `BOOT0` does not).


## Not currently supported

* Command-line argument for write protection/unprotection.
* STM8 devices (ST `UM0560`).
* Other bootloader protocols (e.g. I2C, HEX -> implemented in `stm32flash`).


## Future work

* Use f-strings.
* Use proper logging instead of print statements.
