try on your machine

The command "st-flash erase" is used to erase the flash memory of a microcontroller using the ST-Link programmer.

ST-Link is a programming and debugging tool provided by STMicroelectronics for their microcontroller units (MCUs). It allows users to program the flash memory of the MCU with their firmware code to enable the desired functionality.

The "st-flash erase" command specifically instructs the ST-Link programmer to perform an erase operation on the flash memory. This operation clears all the contents of the flash memory, essentially removing any previously programmed code or data. This is often done before reprogramming the MCU with updated or new firmware.

It's important to note that the exact syntax and behavior of the command may vary depending on the specific ST-Link programmer and the software environment being used. It's recommended to refer to the documentation or user manual for the precise usage instructions for the "st-flash erase" command in your particular case.
