STEVAL-IDB008V1M - ST-Link-V2 debug with Atollic True Studio

[MSand.1]

Hi,

my name is Mario and i have some troubles while debugging a program for the STEVAL-IDB008V1M eval board.

Configuration

STEVAL-IDB008V1M evaluation board

Atollic TrueSTUDIO Version: 9.3.0

In the Atollic IDE, I installed the ST-Link Utility.

I compiled the original example "BLE Remote Control" (provided with STEVAL-IDB008V1M board) by means of  Atollic.

I found on the net the followinf piece of advice:

----

It will force BlueNRG-2 DIO7 to "1" before doing a reset so that BlueNRG-2 will remain in bootloader.

When trying to flash from any IDEs, you must force DIO7 to "1" before doing a HW reset or a power on / power off.

----

and I applied it.

RESULTS

In the above conditions, the debug results are null and disappointing:
for few seconds the connection with debugger seems working but it diseppears quickly: the debug process is not able to start.

This is the message I got on the console

You see below a picture of the debug window: the standard step by step debug is not allowed.

I kindly ask for your help.

Atollic True Studio was discontinued many years ago, and is no longer supported.

STM32CubeIDE is the replacement, and is currently supported.

Dear Andrew,

I received the evaluation board STEVAL-IDB008V1M with the original source code for three different IDEs:
- Wise Studio,

- Keil

- IAR.

Which is your suggestion for importing the project in a working IDE?

I was able to compile the project with Atollic, I imported the project into STM32 but it does not work.

I was told that Wise Studio is also an old IDE.

In this moment I do not know which is the best way.

Best Regards,

Mario
