ERROR: Couldn't parse external memory loader

[MPast.1]

Hi everyones,

I have a little (but big) problem with customized external loader.

The compiler report this error: " ERROR: Couldn't parse external memory loader"

Stm32 Cubeprogrammer instead, tell me everything is OK.

I tried to download a simple file inside my QSPI external memory and it works correctly.

I don't what's the problem in stm32 IDE.

Does someone has some hints or idea?

Second question:

Why I see only one custom loader on IDE instead of two, like on windows folder?

 

The result not change also after a reboot of the IDE?

I'm using the latest IDE version:

 

Thanks in advance

Best regards.

>>Stm32 Cubeprogrammer instead, tell me everything is OK.

Seems to be operating on Internal Memory

>>ERROR: Couldn't parse external memory loader

Seems to be a complaint about the form/structure of the ELF file, and the StorageInfo within.

Hi I have the same problem since updating to STM32Cube IDE 1.7.0. My external loader worked perfectly on 1.6.0. Any idea ??

If I downgrade back to 1.6.0 it works again.

Also, after installing STM32Cube IDE 1.7.0, there is no folder "STM32CubeIDE_1.7.0" in C:\ST.

My .stdlr files are still in C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.6.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.cubeprogrammer.win32_1.6.0.202101291314\tools\bin\ExternalLoader but it seems that STM32Cube IDE 1.7.0 use the .stldr in that exact same folder

Hello!

Could you activate the gdb server log in your debug configuration, try to launch and then send the log to me?
