Background:
I recently bought a STM32 blue pill and STLink V2 online. This is my first time using a STM board, I am quite familiar with arduino, esp and 8051(Proteus simulation).
Problem:
I have attached the 'error.png' file below it is a 'failed to start GDB server error' (for people who cannot for some reason see the file). I have done the following troubleshooting steps, which I found on chatgpt, youtube and this community:
1) Check debugger configuration settings. (attached screenshots)
2) Tried lowering the debug frequency from 'Auto'.
3) Tried all reset behaviors: 'Connect under reset', 'Software reset' etc...
4) Upgraded the stlink firmware
5) Checked and found 'STM32 STlink' is showing up in the device manager
6) Only have windows defender on my laptop, still I excluded entire 'STM32CubeIDE_1.19.0' folder.
7) Re-did the wiring and everything seems correct.
8) Rebooted everything twice and didn't work
9) Tried clean the project, delete and remake the debug configuration file and complete build a new project and nothing worked.
10) Tried my friend's laptop and a different blue pill and STLink V1, didn't work
11) Tried reinstalling stlink GDB server from https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/st-link-server.html and didn't work
At this point I think I tried everything I could find online, I really hope someone from this community helps me find where I went wrong, or if I am making some silly mistake. Also, I tried using the STM32CubeProgrammer and the code flashes just fine (I still want to try the debugger).
Regards and Thank you for reading this long query!
