[SOLVED] Low-Power Stop Mode Example -> Dead STM32

Hi,

Today I tried the STM example (see below path) of low power stop mode on my STM32L053, While stepping trough the code in debug mode, somewhere in SystemPower_Config(), line 237, HAL_GPIO_Init(...) the connection with the cortex  got lost (so before sleep mode is enabled!). Now I'm unable to communicate with the stm32: I'm unable to flash the chip or connect via ST STM32 Link Utility. Also power down and up the power source (which normally works in other low-power modes) or use the NRST does not do the trick. 

Too bad I tried the same example with another

STM32L053 with the same result.

Is this a known issue in the PWR example code? Any ideas to get my boards responsive again?

Is there an option to 'Connect under reset' on your flashing software ?. If so enable it.

SOLVED ->  replaced the ST LINK debugger with another. Problem solved.

Yes there is. I switched Mode to Connect Under Reset. Connected ST Links RESET pin to STM32's NRST. No luck.

Or force the board into the system (ROM) bootloader with BOOT0/BOOT1, and do a mass erase.

Did you read comment in code (main.c)??
