1.4.0 regression: can no longer debug through ftdi (ft4232h) with openocd, saying "No ST-Link detected"

[dawid]

I've been debugging a custom designed board that has an FT4232 USB IC on it with a JTAG interface. STM32Cube IDE up to 1.3.1 could successfully debug this through openocd. Version 1.4.0 wants to force firmware verification so I can no longer program and debug my board. How can I disable the ST-Link firmware check?

Same here!

First guess same issue as: https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000DhVsCSAV/i-have-just-updated-to-stm32-cubeide-v140it-asked-for-st-link-server-for-debugging-i-downloaded-and-installed-successfully-on-my-mac-catalina-10156but-cube-ide-still-asks-st-link-server-and-tells-i-should-download-it-from-wwwstcom

Sounds some update done if STLink server but existing product update is not able to manage depending of your previous install. I would advice to rely on installer to get proper STLink server whatever target OS. Have a try. Installer are available at www.st.com.

I have never used the ST-Link GDB server, and don't intend to. I reinstalled IDE 1.3.0, and it works fine with my boards with the debug probe set to ST-Link (OpenOCD) in the debugger configuration. I don't have time to play around with the ST-Link server now. Will just stay on 1.3.0 until it is fixed or someone figures out how to disable the ST-Link firmware check.

Solved!

I deinstalled all and start a fresh install from 1.4.0. Now it works.

Starting right now a 1.4.1 STM32CubeIDE release is available to you. 

Such minor 1.4.1 patch (some Kbytes) is solving issue reported by this topic.

Thanks this gets me past the firmware verification. But now I see that I need to change my openocd debug configuration file since there were some significant changes to openocd between 1.3.0 and 1.4.1. I'll raise a new forum question if I don't get that working.
