Unable to use the debugger in Auto Dev Kit due to an expired license

[ASH2930T]

Moved  from STM32 forum - this is not an STM32 question.

I am facing an issue with the Auto Dev Kit debugger. My previous license had expired (Hightec), and although I tried renewing it and even registered to get a new license, the debugger still does not work.

Additionally, I notice that the debugger and flash icons appear greyed out.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

A what?

Do you mean this: https://www.pls-mc.com/products/ude-starterkits/ ?

If so, that mentions only Infineon parts - nothing about ST.

The board is connected?

The file is compiled?

I do not see why it should not work...

Wrong version of PLS?

Nothing depending from ST as far as I can see.

Can you please confirm what needs to be installed and provide a link to it

According to the video link you provided, there should be software available for download. However, I couldn’t find any corresponding software on the website. I’ve attached two screenshots — one from the STM website showing my search results and another from the YouTube video you shared — for your reference. Could you please confirm where the software can be downloaded from?

Hi,

You need to download the PLS UDE executable from PLS website because SPC5-UDESTK is obsolete.

If your Windows does not recognize the PLS UDE ports when you connect the board to the PC (look at USB ports in your system), then you need to update the FTDI drivers Drivers - FTDI.

PLS UDE is deprecated because for SPC58 we support OpenOCD. For SPC56/57 please keep using UDE from PLS.
