with a Clone version, the connection may not work. So please make sure to use a genuine version.

What, exactly, do you mean by that?

Show the error message(s) you get.

What CudeIDE version?

Is it a genuine ST-Link?

What board? Please give details

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Hello @udhayakumar and welcome to the ST Community.

Could you please share a picture of your ST-LINK V2. I think you are using a Clone version. More details available on the article How to recognize a genuine ST-LINK/V2 versus a clo... - STMicroelectronics Community.

Best Regards.
