What is the good way to import an STM32 project that compiles on a server which uses a makefile and no IDE into STM32CubeIDE in order to debug it.

Hello everyone,

I want to debug an existing application (STM32F405) of my company which has been coded without IDE (so just makefile and gcc on our server) and using the stlink to flash.

I imported this project with the option "makefile project" on the CubeIDE and with small changes i made it compile. However i can't run debug and i get that error :

Error in final launch sequence:

Failed to execute MI command:

-exec-run

Error message from debugger back end:

During startup program exited with code 126.

Failed to execute MI command:

-exec-run

Error message from debugger back end:

During startup program exited with code 126.

Also i get an error which talks about mcu target not configured in build configuration but i don't see where i should select the target.

Anyway did someone dealed with that issue and fixed it ? I believed IF it's possible that i have to configure the build / debug configuration or sth else but i can't figure out what is exactly the problem.

Thanks in advance for your asnwer.

Best Regards,

Thomas

Think that the "makefile project" is for native projects running on the host, not cross-debugging.

Yeah thanks for the answer this is what i assumed after i got my error messages 😅 but so what is the good way to do that ?

In fact my question could be : how to convert an externally build project into an STM32CUBE project ?

Now i succeeded ton compile it and start debugging session but can't add or edit my code while debugging (for example for live expression).
