Using STM32H7S78-DK board with a STM32CubeIDE project that utilizes an external memory loader, which is included in the project structure. when running debug I am getting a failure with the following console output:

 Similar forum posts have recommended actions such as running the project with BOOT0 set, clearing out the flash memory with cubeprogrammer, and running the reset behavior as None. None of these have been successful or changed the error message. Console output is below, asking for any help or recommendation on how to resolve this error? Running STMCubeIDE on ubunutu LTS 20.04

Start with complete simple project only for internal flash. In your log is reported missed file for load external flash on DK. Optimal is close IDE and all, and open only Programmer GUI. First step is upgrade onboard STLINK. After this try connect and read MCU.
