I’m playing with a custom board and I’m trying to figure out how to save parameters to the STM32F765 chip flash memory. I looked at the intel/aero board for hints but I must be still doing something wrong. I keep getting various errors when I do a “param save /params” of failed (-6). Is there a list somewhere of what the errors are? Am I trying to write to a valid location? I see the files for /etc are in there like mixers, airframes and such.
Could you share the boot log?
Gladly. Here is the boot from the console log. I’ll also include some other files that may be of use. I’m doing this to a mro pixracerpro board because I know it was working normally before I started messing with the configuration. I’m trying to use it without EEPROM or SD. The custom board doesn’t have those.

/* The board uses an STM32H743II has 2048Kb of main FLASH memory.
* The flash memory is partitioned into a User Flash memory and a System
* Flash memory. Each of these memories has two banks:
*
* 1) User Flash memory:
*
* Bank 1: Start address 0x0800:0000 to 0x080F:FFFF with 8 sectors, 128Kb each
* Bank 2: Start address 0x0810:0000 to 0x081F:FFFF with 8 sectors, 128Kb each
*
* 2) System Flash memory:
*
* Bank 1: Start address 0x1FF0:0000 to 0x1FF1:FFFF with 1 x 128Kb sector
* Bank 1: Start address 0x1FF4:0000 to 0x1FF5:FFFF with 1 x 128Kb sector
*
* 3) User option bytes for user configuration, only in Bank 1.
*
* In the STM32H743II, two different boot spaces can be selected through
* the BOOT pin and the boot base address programmed in the BOOT_ADD0 and
* BOOT_ADD1 option bytes:
*
* 1) BOOT=0: Boot address defined by user option byte BOOT_ADD0[15:0].
* ST programmed value: Flash memory at 0x0800:0000
* 2) BOOT=1: Boot address defined by user option byte BOOT_ADD1[15:0].
* ST programmed value: System bootloader at 0x1FF0:0000
*
* There's a switch on board, the BOOT0 pin is at ground so by default,
* the STM32 will boot to address 0x0800:0000 in FLASH unless the switch is
* drepresed, then the boot will be from 0x1FF0:0000
*
* The STM32H743ZI also has 1024Kb of data SRAM.
* SRAM is split up into several blocks and into three power domains:
*
* 1) TCM SRAMs are dedicated to the Cortex-M7 and are accessible with
* 0 wait states by the Cortex-M7 and by MDMA through AHBS slave bus
*
* 1.1) 128Kb of DTCM-RAM beginning at address 0x2000:0000
*
* The DTCM-RAM is organized as 2 x 64Kb DTCM-RAMs on 2 x 32 bit
* DTCM ports. The DTCM-RAM could be used for critical real-time
* data, such as interrupt service routines or stack / heap memory.
* Both DTCM-RAMs can be used in parallel (for load/store operations)
* thanks to the Cortex-M7 dual issue capability.
*
* 1.2) 64Kb of ITCM-RAM beginning at address 0x0000:0000
*
* This RAM is connected to ITCM 64-bit interface designed for
* execution of critical real-times routines by the CPU.
*
* 2) AXI SRAM (D1 domain) accessible by all system masters except BDMA
* through D1 domain AXI bus matrix
*
* 2.1) 512Kb of SRAM beginning at address 0x2400:0000
*
* 3) AHB SRAM (D2 domain) accessible by all system masters except BDMA
* through D2 domain AHB bus matrix
*
* 3.1) 128Kb of SRAM1 beginning at address 0x3000:0000
* 3.2) 128Kb of SRAM2 beginning at address 0x3002:0000
* 3.3) 32Kb of SRAM3 beginning at address 0x3004:0000
*
* SRAM1 - SRAM3 are one contiguous block: 288Kb at address 0x3000:0000
*
* 4) AHB SRAM (D3 domain) accessible by most of system masters
* through D3 domain AHB bus matrix
*
* 4.1) 64Kb of SRAM4 beginning at address 0x3800:0000
* 4.1) 4Kb of backup RAM beginning at address 0x3880:0000
*
* When booting from FLASH, FLASH memory is aliased to address 0x0000:0000
* where the code expects to begin execution by jumping to the entry point in
* the 0x0800:0000 address range.

And I added
#define FLASH_BASED_PARAMS
to the board_config.h file
I may also need more room for parameters. How do I get that? I’m assuming it is in the script.ld file
