So, I am learning stm32 mcus, using a nucleo f4 board.

Everything was working fine and now debug launch fails.

Actually, I was doing one debug, closed it and next debug session won't launch.

Atollic TrueSTUDIO does work with the same settings (st-link gdb server in the debugger settings).

CubeIDE works in linux.

Guys, avast antivirus deletes the st link server exe file. It is absolutely because of it.

I had to add an exception for the exe file.

After a few reinstalls, I noticed that when the error raises, in the folder plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.0.0.201904160814\tools\bin the st link server execbutable is missing.

On this fresh reinstall, I backed it up.

I'm using avast free antivirus, maybe it is giving me problems. The server is allowed in windows firewall.

jjank, I'd just like to thank you for making this public. I banged my head against this for a long time before finding your explanation.

I'll report it to Avast as a false positive.

I've got same problem and along with dedi1's way, finally got working set of st link with gdb.

Thanks dedi1 ;)
