It sounds like you are connected to the chip directly and not through a debugger like ST-Link, which is required if you want to debug.

What board are you using? Custom board?

Thank you for replying. Yes I connected it directly. Do I have to buy a ST-link, I thought it is in-built. I am sending a picture of my board.

On the majority of genuine ST boards, there is an on-board ST-Link used for debugging.

On that board, and most other clone/counterfeit boards out there, there is no ST-Link and you must get one.

Hello @NKuma.11​ and welcome to the Community :)

Make sure to update the ST-Link Firmware and use the latest version of CubeIDE.

Check if the USB cable is connected on the right USB port (ST-Link).

Maybe you have the same issue as described in this post.

Hope my answer helps you!
