Cube Programmer does not detect disco board, Cube IDE works fine.

[Bob Bailey]

I can program and debug fine in CubeIDE 1.5, when I try to use the programmer (2.5) it does not detect the st link on the disco board (F746 in this case) is the IDE using another application to do its flashing (so Programmer is broken), or is it something else? WIndow 7 64 bit.

STM32CubeIDE uses STM32CubeProgrammer to flash, but it's own version. You can see which version it's using in the console output. Here it is from mine:

Might want to reconnect the board and/or reboot to ensure nothing else is using the ST-Link.

I tried rebooting, etc. Same issue.

I was thinking it might be a 32bit/64bit issue. will check the installation files. Perhaps try it on another computer.

I have some alpha testers with the 746-disco boards and I want them to be able to load test code (they are far away). So this is going to be an important step in this project.
