When using "jflashlite.exe" to load an ELF file that contains multiple sections, it seems to recognize all the sections but only manages to load the internal section. Oddly, it doesn't raise any error despite skipping the external sections during the loading process. On the other hand, "stlink"(cubeProgrammer) also detects all the sections in the ELF file, but encounters a problem during loading. It explicitly states that it can't load the external sections and subsequently fails to complete the upload.
I can manage to load an external section using a different tool. However, the primary issue persists
During debugging with J-Link, it appears to handle the situation by proceeding successfully, possibly by disregarding or bypassing certain sections like the external ones. This behavior might be why the debugging process continues without a hitch. However, ST-Link takes a more stringent approach. It fails to debug due to its inability to load all sections, especially the external ones, which it explicitly flags as a problem during the upload of the ELF file.
