Board: B-G431B-ESC1
OS: Windows 11
Attempting to use the Motor Pilot or Profiler but unable to connect. I know I am connected because ST-Link can read the MCU and I am able to program it. From previous posts it seems to be related to the version of MCSDK so I attempted to use 5.4.8, 6.2.1, 6.2.0, 6.1.0, and 6.3.1. Done the obvious restart computer, board, run as admin.
Not sure how to diagnose from here
From the Motor Profiler (Any of them)
[INFO] - UART worker: Successfully open port COM6 @ 115200

From the Motor Profiler (Any of them)

From User Guide
" The USB port is available to use the ST MC Workbench and Motor Profiler tool directly connected with the PC (no
external dongle is needed)."
So I want to assume the problem is because of the daughter board. Does it need a specific firmware? Im ordering another board and diffrent board to figure it out. I really want to use the Workbench.

Update: Was able to use 6.1.1 and installed to a location other than X86 programs and the motor pilot and profiler worked! However can not use the workbench because it can't find STM32CubeMX..

Hello TH3221,
At a first glance, it looks like you sometimes are trying to connect while your board is already connected to another SW. For example, if your board is connected to CubeProgrammer, then the connection will not be able to be established with the MotorPilot or Profiler. When you want to connect via STLink, please make sure no other software is connected to your board.
Another thing to check would be the baudrate. For the ESC-G431 it is configured to 1M8 bd/s by default which is one supported by Motor Profiler but it is always nice to verify.
