After updating CubeIDE to version 1.4.0 (Linux), the debugger does not work.

AKova.2 · ‎2020-08-02

A window appears

"ST-LINK firmware verification"

in which there is a message - "STLink server is required to launch the debug session".

How to fix it?

AKova.2 · ‎2020-08-02

I downloaded STLINK Server, during installation I received a message that this package is already installed.

Tell me where in CubeIDE are the STLINK Server settings?

STM32CubeIDE 1.4.0 debugging works for me on 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04. The stlink-gdb-server comes as a STM32CubeIDE plugin. A typical debug session starts both, arm-none-eabi-gdb (which is on the path in /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.4.0/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.7-2018-q2-update.linux64_1.4.0.202007081208/tools/bin) and stlink-gdb-server:

Check if those components are installed in your system. If not, I would try reinstalling.

Here is my install log:

As a workaround you may switch to ST-Link (OpenOCD) in your Debug Configuration under Debugger.

I tried to download STLINK Server from the HELP menu -> Install new software.

Here is the result.

As far as I understand, these elements are present. And the file you specified in the specified path is also there.

I don’t understand what’s the matter ... everything worked before. Ide reinstalled, the result is the same. It works on Windows.

Maybe the paths are not spelled out somewhere?

AKova.2 · ‎2020-08-03

The list of installed packages contains STLINK Server.

> Here is the result.

Yes those are outdated versions from last year. The error message is correct.

There should be no need to install STLINK Server separately.

I would try re-installing STM32CubeIDE from scratch.

You first delete all existing versions using

$ sudo apt remove 'st-stm32cubeide*' 'st-stlink*'

and then install the downloaded unzipped shell archive:

$ sudo ~/Downloads/st-stm32cubeide_1.4.0_7511_20200720_0928_amd64.deb_bundle.sh

I had exactly the same issue updating to 1.4.0 on Windows. Already tried a clean install and an upgrade to another computer too: nothing worked. Just updated to 1.4.1 and the issue is still present...

Is there any error log we can check to know exactly what's wrong?!

AKova.2 · ‎2020-08-03

I have reinstalled CubeIDE but I will try again on your advice.

I have Arch Linux (Manjaro). I installed the st-stm32cubeide_1.4.0_7511_20200720_0928_amd64.sh package downloaded from the official site.

Sorry for my English, I use a translator ... :)

AKova.2 · ‎2020-08-03

In Windows, this version works, updated to 1.4.1 everything works.

But as for me, the program works more stable on Linux.

gcrisa · ‎2020-08-03

Actually I didn't know if it was appropriate to post my question here, as this thread explicitly targets Linux. But since the IDE core should be the same I thought at least to ask about some kind of advice on how to get details of what the issue is (eg. server not starting, or whatever). I get nothing more than the "ST-LINK firmware verification" window, all the console/log files are empty...
