8.2.1 Force MCU to Enter BSL Mode

For the device supports BSL and BSL is set as enabled (default enabled), use the hardware invoke method to force the MCU to enter BSL mode. The MCU then executes the BSL code in the ROM and does not execute the application code. The device remains in SWD connection in BSL mode.

Below is the methods to force the MCU to enter BSL mode:

  • Connect the BSL invoke pin (default is PA18) to the VCC (with or without pull up resistor). Re-power the device.
  • Connect the BSL invoke pin (default is PA18) to the VCC (with or without pull up resistor). Force NRST low for more than 1s to trigger POR.
Note: When the MCU enter BSL mode, the MCU enters STANDBY0 mode if no BSL connection command is sent to UART or I2C interface within 10s.

This approach help users unlock the device if a software issue causes the MCU enter a locked state. The approach is not viable in the following situations:

  • NONMAIN configuration has CRC check failure.

  • NONMAIN configuration disables the SWD interface or locks the debug access.
  • IWDT is enabled through the device supporting VBAT feature, requiring user to manually turn off the VBAT to disable the IWDT.
  • The BSL hardware invoke method is disabled.
