Hello everyone, I'm new on STM32.

My Board is blocked in this state (see on the photo) : 2 led at red state continuously.

And when I try to load program in the board, this type of erros occured : Error launching GDB server.

Thanks for your Help !0693W000008GD3lQAG.jpg

Google and download a copy of STM32 Cube Programmer, avoids the IDE/GDB nonsense

Review the board manual, there are diagrams and schematics. There are a couple of spare jumpers attached to board, see upper top right and left.

Short the VDD and BOOT0 pins with said jumper. Puts the chip into loader mode, not running your code, that's probably bricking the board

Power cycle, remove and reapply power to the board via the connector.

Jumper BOOT0 to VDD, reset or power cycle the board, and try connecting / erasing with STM32 Cube Programmer directly.
