See following discussion:

Sirs, Thanks for the consideration of your reply. Yes I am aware of the ''SWD'' issue, but I think what worked for me was flashing the St-link to the LATEST version of the firmware distributed in TrueStudio Lite 1.4. Now it is working! Lots to learn here. The instructions on how to use the firmware samples from ST (an3268) with you product are very POOR. Not your fault, unclear in the downloaded zip file instructions... I can compile but not link. Much to learn! Thanks again. Randy ps. Yes gdbserver runs on Windows 64~! Quoting Atollic support <>:

Dear Randy, Which board are you using? If you are using the STM32 Discovery board - One reason could be if it is a Discovery board you need to connect using SWD mode. If you create a new project with the TrueSTUDIO wizard for the Discovery board it will create a project that make some LED toggling for the board. When starting first debug session TrueSTUDIO ST has had a problem with the sw they have on the web for the Discovery board. It shall be fixed now so that it contain correct debug setting with SWD mode also for TrueSTUDIO. Try to download the sw again from ST web site. Please let me know if this helps.

Yes I have followed instructions exactly as to connect ST-Link and hardware, power, usb, etc. as posted on your web page. IAR eW5 works perfectly with ST-Link... Suggestions? Randy

Well it really is Atollic's fault that the evaluation features of Lite make it next to unusable.

It's easy for them to blame ST, but it's an up hill battle to get their tool chain to build, link and download a simple project. I've done it, but had to waste a lot of time. The demo projects provide by ST had to be generated by a NON LITE version, it's not ST's fault that it's such a total train wreck. Sure there's some blame, but most of that's because the project, path and directory setting don't map well to the flexible placement of the project on a disc. The problem is compounded by the fact that it is very difficult to modify paths/files in the project to correct issues where it can't find files. Seriously, try the eval versions of KEIL and IAR
