Question

Couldn't debug via ST-Link

Hello,

Just before I tried to debug STM32L052 via ST-Link but following error occurred.

The error message is as following.

It's strange that I could debug and run with same project yesterday and nothing is changed as for project.

What is the problem and how to solve it?

Thanks,

Hello @curiae ,

Are you using your own customized board or ST board?

What happens if you connect in STM32CubeProgrammer ? Try to connect through STM32CubeProgrammer and set the connection mode to "Under Reset" and perform a "Full Chip Erase" to clear the flash memory.

If the issue is not resolved, check (through your STM32 schematic and Datasheet) the basic pins and the power supply schemes that are within their specified voltage ranges : VDD, VDDA supply, VCAP pins...
