STM32F3Discovery : Unknown target connected / Keil

[alertjean]

I just got a new STM32F3Discovery board and when I am trying to start a debug session using Keil, it is giving me an error saying ''unknown target connected'' and it fails to download code into the flash. Has anyone faced this issue before ? Are there any solutions ?

I am able to read & erase flash using STlink utility/V2. I am able to download code using the same, but seems like device is not running the downloaded code. All I see the PWR and COM LEDs lit up red. I also have STM32F4Discovery board which works without any issues. I use the following versions: IDE-Version: �Vision V4.60.0.0 Tool Version Numbers: Toolchain:        MDK-Lite  Version: 4.60.0.0 Toolchain Path:    C:\Keil\ARM\ARMCC\bin\ C Compiler:         Armcc.Exe Assembler:          Armasm.Exe       V5.02.0.28 Linker/Locator:     ArmLink.Exe       V5.02.0.28 Librarian:             ArmAr.Exe       V5.02.0.28 Hex Converter:      FromElf.Exe       V5.02.0.28 CPU DLL:               SARMCM3.DLL       V4.60.0.0 Dialog DLL:         DARMSTM.DLL       V1.64.0.0 Target DLL:         STLink\ST-LINKIII-KEIL.dll Dialog DLL:         TARMSTM.DLL       V1.64.0.0 STM32F3Discovery Firmware Version: V2.J16.S0 JTAG Debugger (As shown by ST-Link Utility) Library Version : STM32F3-Discovery_FW_V1.1.0 #stm32f3discovery-keil

Indeed it's been discussed here before. Check your Debug/Utilities tabs under the project options. Make sure to use ''ST-Link Debugger'' and NOT ''ST-Link (Deprecated Version)''

Thanks for clarifying that it is indeed the solutionf. I had tried that option earlier but it resulted in an error:

No Algorithm found for: 08000000H - 0800412BH On further probing I found that in ST-Link Debugger > Settings > Flash Download  I had to pick STM32f3xx Flash 256k( Or should I pick size 16). It programs correctly once that is done. Thanks anyway!.

i faced this  problem  with stm32f4 discovery in keil-mdki found that i have to add stm32f4 flash  in {programming algorithm }project->option for target -> utilities ->settings ->add ->stm32f4xx flash

change the settings in here {options-utilities-settings-debug-ort(change gtag to sw)}
