Failed to execute MI command - load .elf file

I have been using a NUCLEO-F413 board to try and understand how to program to user FLASH using the example code in the STMicro repository and STM32Cube to program. However when I now try and program the board I get the below error:

Has me trying to write to the FLASH damaged the program space? If so is it possible to restore it or is the board now dead?

It could be just that the ELF file does not exist ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

The ELF file does exist.

Hello @GTann.1 , 

 

 

To resolve the issue with your NUCLEO-F413 board, please install the STM32CubeF4 package from  ST.com . Then, navigate to the directory Firmware\Projects\STM32F413ZH-Nucleo\Examples\FLASH and open the flash example project using STM32CubeIDE. Build and run the project on your board, and ensure you follow the instructions provided in the README file to make it work properly.

Regards .

Please uninstall the current version of STM32CubeIDE and reinstall the latest version from ST.com , If you have MDK ARM (Keil) or EWARM (IAR) IDEs available, try running the same project in these environments. These steps will help to identify and isolate the issue.
