Carrier Boards • Re: SparkFun MicroMod Data Logging Carrier Board with SparkFun MicroMod STM32 Processor

I have been sucessfully using logomatic boards for datalogging for over 12 years. I thought it would be a good idea to try out some of the new sparkfun datalogging boards. I decided to use the SparkFun MicroMod Data Logging Carrier Board with SparkFun MicroMod STM32 Processor. My project is to build a magnetometer board. I have sucessfully designed and built several magnetometers using the RM3100 and the STM 32L152 Nucleo-64, with Arduino IDE. My issue with going via the STM32 micromod is that I am unable to get the processor to run the basic Blink program. I can download via DFU ok but nothing happens after download. NO BLUE LED BLINK. I will post the compiler message as there is a section I want to question.
***"Sketch uses 25132 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1048576 bytes.
Global variables use 4996 bytes (3%) of dynamic memory, leaving 126076 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 131072 bytes.

I found from a post on another forum that the message "sector 0000 does not exist
sector 0001 does not exist" indicates a problem. But that person didn't describe the fix. So I am wondering what next - how do I progress this issue?
I would also suggest for newbies (me included) that the info on the Cube programmer is rewritten so that we have a better idea of what it is doing, and what we don't need to do. I worried about it for many hours wondering whether I had to enter information to it. More examples would be good, especially on using SPI with the logger. Some of us oldies learn best by example!!
Thanks in advance.
