STM32F030x sends ST20033000022056000063227OV every 5 seconds and cannot be programmed - stm32

I built 2 baremetal development boards, both using the STM32F030K6T6. The MCU on one board can be programmed as indicated in the datasheet using the boot pin selection and via USART pins PA14 and PA15. The second does not respond to flashing command and instead keeps sending the same message ST20033000022056000063227OV on the USART TX pin every 5 seconds with a 9600 baud rate.
I was not able to find any references related to this in the datasheet or elsewhere. I could just ditch the board but I'd like to understand what is it that's happening. It seems like the MCU is in some sort of a failure mode. What does the message mean?
I tried flashing using the stm32flash script available in the STM32 library for Arduino. The signal's baud rate was determined using a scope. The messages were then captured with:
cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600
Both MCUs came from the same batch and the development boards have the same aditional components (2 decoupling capacitors, a boot selector jumper and a reset button).

(UDP Send) Simulink clarification

I am working in the lane detection using Simulink. (As short)
A pi camera detecting the lane using Raspberry pi 3 microcontroller in simulink and send the control command to Arduino using RPI UDP send. (am running the model EXTERNAL and Play button in simulink ).
As result : The lane recoginition works good detecting the left and right lane
(but my udp sending to arduino servo with Little microsecond delay)
I donot knew, why the udp sending Little delay to arduino ?
Once if we can deploy the model to Hardware (Standalone), whether it can works without delay ?

Coding Raspberry Pi with an ADC - SPI

I am trying to connect an analogue to digital converter to the raspberry pi. As far as I am able to understand, the RPi doesn't support Bi-directional SPI mode. The adc I am using says it is SPI compatible but only has the inputs SCLK, CNV and outputs CLKOUT+ and CLKOUT- and SD0+ and SD0-. This leads me to understand that it will only work with bi-directional SPI as there is only the serial data out. I am thinking of using a PWM for CNV (which I think CE), GPIO clock for SCLK and then an interrupt on the falling edge of the GPIO clock to just digitally read each bit from the adc. I don't understand SPI in detail but from what I've read quite often it requires sending data in order to receive it. Do you know if the setup I mentioned (without using SPI) will work? Or am I missing something about SPI and the adc will work with that while not in bi-directional mode?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Read the data sheet carefully, in particular pages 8 and 9. I suggest that you tie CMOS/LVDS pin to ground to enable CMOS mode. Then use only the "+"-pins. Use the SCK for SPI clock, SD01+ for SPI data input to the Rpi. Connect a GPIO pin to CNV.
Also observe that the RPi runs at 3.3V, and the ADC's max rating is also 3v3, that is running the IC right to the edge.

How to upload an Arduino source code to a Lilypad Arduino?

I bought a Lilypad Arduino, for which an FTDI socket is required to connect to my PC. The first socket I tried on didn't power up the Arduino, because of some hardware damage. Thus, I got another socket, but with 4 female pins (Vcc, Gnd, TX, RX), unlike the previous one that had 6 male pins. Let's call the second socket as X. With X, the Lilypad is getting powered up through USB cable. Then, when I tried to upload my source code the first time, it started working.
But when I uploaded it some time later, an error called 'programmer is not responding' occurs always, which I'm unable to resolve.
What should I do?
To program an Arduino (and Arduino-compatibles), you need an FTDI adapter that has an RTS pin, as well as the Vcc, Gnd, TX, and RX pins.
The RTS pin connected to the reset circuit on the Arduino, putting the bootloader into programming mode for a few seconds.
You may be able to get it to work by resetting the Lilypad with it's reset button, then upload your sketch within a few seconds after the reset. Alternatively, or for the least hassle, get an FTDI adapter with all the needed signals. I recommend Adafruit's FTDI Friend.

Set initial state as input on pins using FTDI device FT4232H

I am using a USB device from FTDI called FT4232H and I want to write on the EEPROM to make sure that some pins are set to inputs at start. I am using the D2XX drivers (pdf here). Here I found at page 106 that there is a struct called FT_EEPROM_4232H. Could this be something to use to make sure the pins are set to inputs at the beginning or is this totaly wrong? There are four UCHAR variables called A-, B-, C- and DDriverType. Does anyone know what these should be used for?
I realise this question is 3 months old now but I believe pins on the FTx232H series of chips only get set as GPIO once the MPSSE command SetOutput is issued.
The EEPROM configuration is used to define things like drive strength, slew rate and whether the pin is a schmitt input and what each of the 4 ports are set up to be (async FIFO akin to FT245 series, serial port (FT232), etc).
If anyone else can disprove this, I would be interested to know also!
I just plugged my FT232H board in my PC and ran FTDI FT_Prog, it does not appears you can control the GPIO mode input/output at start time. There is nothing in the FTDI FT_Prog UI that allow to set a mode for GPIO pins and set them as input.
I did set programmatically my FT232H board as an SPI device with 8 GPIOS
but this was done after the chip was started.
A video experimenting with the FT232H
I also once asked FTDI support a similar question for the FT232RL which is as default a UART and I asked if there was a way to configure the chip to start in Synchronous bit banging mode and set the GPIOs as OUTPUT. The answer was no.
The FT232RL will always start as a UART and then by software I can activate Synchronous bit banging mode, and set the mode of my GPIO.
I suppose it is the same for the FT232H, FT2232H and FT4232H.

i2c master for s35390a rtc slave

Is there a sample i2c master code that supports rtc s35390a hardware clock? I am currently working on an SOC that needs to support s35390a from Seiko. But currently, i am getting an error rtc-s35390a 0-0030: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock. I cannot read/write data properly. I am implementing combined form of transmission.
Use oscilloscope to check if I2C SCL/SDA show some thing
If you can get the first address correct waveform, You will easy to get the register value
This might not be a rtc chip problem.
