Please suggest a solution to load and debug the code

Hi,

seem no connection to a working cpu.

So try: use CubeProgrammer , connect - then show , what its telling .

Hi AScha.3

I was able to connect to the HW using CubeProgrammer but not using the IAR workbench,I have tried flashing a hex file to the unit via CubeProgrammer and verified the flash contents everything looks fine, but i can't load or debug the code using the IAR Workbench.

Hi,

perfect.

So we know: st-link working fine, target cpu is ok and responding.

If problem with IAR settings, try to find out, what you set wrong there or ask at IAR about this problem.

Seems just missing the correct flash loader -- (whatever it is ) .
