B-G431B-ESC1 / MCSDK Motor Pilot/Profiler Failed Connection

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.

  • Generated Firmware using the MC workbench, ensured Motor Profiler was checked in Application Configuration and uploaded to board
  • Double checked to make sure UART was initialized
  • Another post said to set build configuration to release, didnt work

 

Not sure how to diagnose from here 

 

From the Motor Profiler (Any of them)

[INFO] - UART worker: Successfully open port COM6 @ 115200

[INFO] - : try to configure the board'

From the Motor Profiler (Any of them)

[ERROR] - : Failed to discover Board at 1843200 Bauds and 115200 Bauds

[INFO] - : disconnect UART START

[INFO] - : Disconnected from board

[INFO] - : disconnect UART END

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..

From the Project Generation:
STM32CubeMX not found - ver. "6.0.0" or higher is requiredDownload STM32CubeMx
Previously selected CubeMx "6.12.1" is no longer available
 
So now the next guessing game of which CubeMX 6.1.1 supports
 
Update2: Installed the 6.3.1 just straight up on my desktop and Profiler works but Motor pilot doesnt? 
 
Update3: Cant figure this out.
