Debugging - "Download verified successfully" then Shuts Down

[TomHebe]

I am trying to debug an SDMMC application with FATFS. I simply selected the peripherals and generated code using STMCubeMX. Upon trying to debug, the program is successfully flashed however, it then exits debug mode.

When I comment out the  MX_FATFS_Init(); function, debugging works as normal. Why would this be the case?

Hello @TomHebe,

Did you try to read/write the chip memory with the STM32CubeProgrammer ?

Have you tried running another working application and check if you have the same issue?

Try full erase in STM32CubeProgrammer.

Maybe this thread helps you: Solved: (STM32H735) Problem flashing, no contact to µC whi... - STMicroelectronics Community

PS: Please follow this guide: How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution.
