I'm mostly working under Mint (a Ubuntu derivate).

Could you try as root ? If that works, you need to grant your user account the rights to access usb devices, and/or add your addapter(s) to the udev rules list.

Please explain the what trying as a root means?does it mean

launch st-util from root and then run and debug the file.But the device is recognised.It displays the SRAM and FLASH capacity too.

for your purpose sudo = root. Basically run your program using sudo and you will get all rights you will ever need (even to delete your own filesystem so watch out what you write after sudo). It seems like you're new with linux as well 😉

Agree. Trying to make firmware for a new MCU, using a toolchain/IDE you are barely familiar with, on an OS you are new to, is ...hmmmm ... looking for trouble. Too much unknowns make a problem impossible to solve ... I would tackle one task at a time. Having had some experience with other MCUs and IDEs, I started with one of such restricted versions of Atollic when starting with STMs. Once you get a blinky example running, you can take the next step.

I sorted it.I was running st-util from the terminal and also trying it run from eclipse.

Now I started the Debugger and it rightly prompted to line as shown in the site http://shareee.netne.net/wordpress/?p=83&page=2 .The console also reads that the code has been flashed. But the leds dont blink.I tried resetting and then loading but dint help. I did start with keil.Recently i shifted to ubuntu and eclipse+openocd
