Debugger stops at 97%

Erwan03 · ‎2024-08-28

Hello everyone,

I have recently faced a problem concerning the debugger when trying to flash F446RE board.

When i launch the debug mode, the progress bar stops at 97% and doesn't return any error message as output.

The problem did not exist before the holidays but right now it exists although i did not changed the code nor debug config.

Here is the message displayed on the console when trying to debug:

Persistent Mode : Disabled

Generated the code with CubeMx, Compiled it with CubeIDE, Flashed and Run the code.

Hello SofLit and thank you for helping me again.

Actually, when i look at the memory window, all the addresses are filled with '?' characters. The flash memory should not be flashed then...

Are you sure you have the trace I mentioned in blue above with the behavior you are seeing?

Which CubeProgrammer version are you using?

If possible to send me the hex file in private so I can do the test from my side.
