CubeIDE 1.16.1 arm-none-eabi-gdb-version Error

[Uloff.4]

I am using CubeIDE version 1.16.1 to program and flash a STM32F433 MCU.
I am using a SEGGER J-Link flasher.
When I try to run the application I get the following error:

I have tried to manually set the workspace toolchain to local in the toolchain manager.
When I open the toolchain manager, I get an error that it has failed to fetch the toolchain list, in addition to four repositories that it cannot read:

Ignoring the message and setting the local toolchain as it follows 

I get the same error when running the code on the MCU:

What should I try to do to fix the error?

Hello @Uloff.4 

First let me thank you for posting.

To ensure that CubeIDE can communicate with the SEGGER J-Link and program your STM32F433 MCU correctly, you should verify the J-Link configuration in CubeIDE.

1- Go to Run -> Debug Configurations.
2- In the Debug Configurations window, under GDB SEGGER J-Link Debugging, check if your J-Link device is selected in the Target tab.
3-Make sure the correct device is selected in the Target tab and that the settings match your hardware setup.

Also Clear Cache:
Sometimes, cache issues can cause problems. Try clearing the cache in CubeIDE by going to File -> Restart 

I will be waiting for your feedback.

Hello Ghofrane

I tried rebooting as you mentioned, but it made no difference.

Here my debugger settings:

*my MCU STM32F446

Hello again @Uloff.4 

1- First let's  try to use the SWD (Serial Wire Debug) interface for debugging purposes. Segger J-Link devices support both SWD and JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) interfaces for debugging ARM Cortex-based microcontrollers but using SWD with a Segger J-Link offers a reliable and efficient way to debug your target device.

2- Click on "Show command line," copy the command, open your command prompt, paste it there. Before proceeding, ensure that your J-Link is connected and your board is ready. Finally, share the log, please.

Using SWD with the SEGGER gives the same error.

I cant figure out where i open my command promt.
Thanks for your help

Hello @Uloff.4 

To open the command prompt in Windows, you can follow these steps:

Using the Start Menu:
Click on the Start menu icon (Windows logo) in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
Type "cmd" or "Command Prompt" in the search bar.
Click on the "Command Prompt" or "cmd" program that appears in the search results.

Hello Ghofrane 

I have installed the Arm GNU Toolchain for Windows:
gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-win32.exe
I have added the path to the environment variables (admin+user) as follows:

Now I can call the function from the cmd line (user), but when I ask for the version number nothing happens, it gives no response and stays there:

When I try to run the code in STM32CubeIDE (user) I get the same errors:

I tried then to run the command via admin cmd and got the following:

Here are the user permissions for the file:

Thank you for your help.

Hello @Uloff.4 

The error message you are encountering indicates an issue with IDE's ability to access or read the repository at https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/latest/content.xml. This problem could be due to various reasons, such as network issues.

1- Check Network Connection:
Ensure that your internet connection is stable and that there are no network issues preventing STM32CubeIDE from accessing external repositories.
2- Proxy Settings:
If you are behind a corporate firewall or using a proxy server, configure the proxy settings in STM32CubeIDE to allow it to access external repositories.

3- Firewall/Antivirus:
Check if any firewall or antivirus software on your system is blocking STM32CubeIDE from accessing external repositories. Temporarily disabling them can help identify if they are causing the issue.

4- Test with Full Path:
Try running the arm-none-eabi-gdb command with the full path to the executable to see if it provides the version information. For example, C:\path\to\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe --version.

Hello @Ghofrane GSOURI 

When I click on the link you mentioned, it says "not found".
https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/latest/content.xml

I have proxy settings setup in STM32Cube IDE and I can prove they work in the settings with the check connection button:

As seen the admin account is able to use GDB, so i tried to launch STM32IDE as admin and tried to launch debug with the SEGGER J-link. Then i got the following error:

Hello @Uloff.4 

Could you please share your log you will find it under \STM32CubeIDE\workspace_1.16.1\.metadata
