BluePill recording failed

I was having a problem recording my bluepill, below is the error message.

After some research, I got feedback that the bluepill I’m using was a pirated version of the STM32f103…

To resolve the error, I edited the stm32f1x.cfg file in the Embeetle folder (embeetle\beetle_tools\windows\openocd_0.10.0_dev01438_64b\scripts\target)

follow the modified line

#jtag scan chain
if { [info exists CPUTAPID] } {
set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
} else {
if { [using_jtag] } {
# See STM Document RM0008 Section 26.6.3
set _CPUTAPID 0x3ba00477
} {
# this is the SW-DP tap id not the jtag tap id
#set _CPUTAPID 0x1ba01477
set _CPUTAPID 0x2ba01477
}
}

Excellent finding @Cleidir :+1::+1:

Will make a note of this for future improvements to the error messages.

Hi Cleidir,
We have a chapter about this particular error on our website:

See this link:
https://embeetle.com/#supported-hardware/stmicro/boards/blue-pill

However, it seems like this information wasn’t there for you when you needed it. We will think about how to present the information in a more user-friendly way.

Kind regards,
Kristof
