ST-LINK clone connects using ST-LINK utility, but not STM32CubeProgrammer

[FPayn.1]

I have a windows 11 laptop with both ST-LINK Utility and STM32CubeProgrammer installed.  I can connect to my STM32-based motherboard using a ST-LINK clone and ST-LINK but not with STM32CubeProgrammer.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hello @FPayn.1 ,

Which device used?

Which STM32CubeProgrammer version used ?

Please make sure to use the latest version of CubeProgrammer.

Try then connecting in "Connect Under Reset" mode.

Using counterfeit gear for one, ST's just not cool with that. I think they've made the decision to make them not work properly. And you keep going in circles with the same problem.

Cheapest solution would probably be a NUCLEO with a snap-off ST-LINK, or an ST-LINK/V3

Copying firmware out of one unit, into another, might also be a flawed approach.

So you've tried both a clone and a genuine ST-Link?
What firmware versions in each?

So what, exactly, happens with CubeProgrammer?

What version of CubeProgrammer?

Show logs; screenshot error messages.

Is that also with the genuine ST-Link?

Give details - schematics, etc:

Does this board also have clone/fake STM32?

far too little detail to tell, but using fake/clone kit just complicates everything!

eg, see:
