Can not start STM32CubeProgrammer under Debian

[Cedric Boudinet]

Posted on January 11, 2018 at 11:54

Under Linux Debian Stretch:

- if I use the shortcut nothing happens

- if I type ./STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32CubeProgrammerLauncher,

I have this error message: Error: Could not find or load main class com.st.app.Main

What should I do in order to run Cube Programmer ?

Regards

Sure, I know. It uses JDK11 and JavaFX is installed. Other JavaFX applications works without any problems.

I have the same problem now, after upgrading to Java 11. openjfx is installed, and shows version 11. CubeProgrammer was working fine with Java 8.

Is CubeProgrammer incompatible with Java 11? :(

[Dean Perry]

Well, I upgraded to (K)Ubuntu 18.10 and can no longer get it to work using update-java-alternatives - even (especially?) with openjdk-11 which has openjfx installed. Tried a few things to get this going unsuccessfully: a PPA for Ubuntu that installs Oracle JDK8 - alas not functional today; also version 1.4.0 of the STMCubeProgrammer.

Interesting wrinkles are that the Trusted Package Creator launches from the shell and appears to work and appears to be using OpenJFX.

The STM32_programmer_CLI works fine on 18.10 - I just programmed a board with it.

I note with some interest in the 1.4.0 install there's a C++ library with a Qt example...

Hi,

I have some problems with launch CubeProg from Ubuntu.

$ ./STM32CubeProgrammer

/usr/local/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32CubeProgrammerLauncher

/usr/local/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin

JavaFX NOT installed => warn user

But openjfx installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep openjfx

ii libopenjfx-java                      11.0.2+1-1~18.04.2                     all         JavaFX/OpenJFX - Rich client application platform for Java (Java libraries)

$ update-java-alternatives -l

java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64     1111      /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64

Please any help!

[ADry]

SOLVED.

Need doungrade jdk & jfx

# apt install apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjfx=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-java=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-jni=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2

than

# update-alternatives --config java

and set java-8-openjdk

And hold the version:

echo "openjfx hold"|dpkg --set-selections ; echo "libopenjfx-java hold"|dpkg --set-selections ; \

echo "libopenjfx-jni hold"|dpkg --set-selections ; echo "openjfx-source hold"|dpkg --set-selections

I received the same error message from STM32CubeProgrammer 2.0.1 after upgrading Debian 9 "Stretch" (JRE v8) to Debian 10 "Buster" (JRE v11). I attempted to downgrade back to JRE/JFX v8:

$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre openjfx=8u111-b14-1 libopenjfx-java=8u111-b14-1 libopenjfx-jni=8u111-b14-1

STM32CubeProgrammer briefly started, but then crashed:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007ffb4b334ef8, pid=27084, tid=0x00007ffb9d9ef700

# Problematic frame:

What worked for me was a wrapper script specifying Oracle JRE 8 64bit, as detailed in this thread:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X00009q3X4jSAE/stm32cubeprogrammer-for-linux

Original script reproduced below. I downloaded jre-8u212-linux-x64.tar.gz and modified the script to suit.

    #!/bin/bash
     
    # Set path of Oracle JRE 8
    JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre1.8.0_202-amd64/
     
    PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/:$PATH
     
    # Unpack libraries, if necessary
    cd $JAVA_HOME/lib
    if [ ! -f rt.jar ]; then
        ../bin/unpack200 rt.pack rt.jar
    fi
    if [ ! -f jsse.jar ]; then
        ../bin/unpack200 jsse.pack jsse.jar
    fi
    if [ ! -f charsets.jar ]; then
        ../bin/unpack200 charsets.pack charsets.jar
    fi
     
    # CHeck Java version
    java -version
     
    # Start STM32 Cube Programmer
    cd /opt/STM32CubeProgrammer
    bin/STM32CubeProgrammer

I am not able to start STM32CubeProgrammer even installed Oracle JDK 13.0.1 and openjfx:

Hi guys. The same issue I have with java. Cannot download Oracle Java,OpenJDK is preferable as there are lot of software components which are developed with OpenJDK.

[sL1pKn07]

Only works with OpenJDK < v8, tested with v11 to v13, all fail to load

and with v8, get a lot of warnings
