I am trying to get the STM32CubeIDE program my board under Linux.
Context: On a Windows 11 PC at the lab, all works (build the project, program it on the board). The code was originally written on Windows. The programmer board was there before, seems to come from a Nucleo board set; the target board was custom made. My task is to add new functionality to the firmware. It would be more comfortable to me to work on my linux machine.
Problem (on linux PC):
- STM32CubeIDE says "No ST Link detected"
- However, STM32CubeProgrammer detects the Nucleo programmer and connects to the target MCU.
Because the CubeProgrammer detects the programmer and the target, I am confused why the IDE does not.
I made sure to refresh the S/N in the IDE "Run configuration". I used the Programmer and/or the IDE both as root and as normal user. I tried two linux computers, a gentoo (rolling, up to date) and a Mageia (version 8 and a fresh install of version 9). The IDE and Programmer are the generic linux binaries from ST.
Here is dmesg when I connect the programmer:

Here is a what is happening in the IDE and the programmer (in this case both running at the same time but it's the same if only one of them is running).
Configuration of the IDE. I also tried the different options under Reset behaviour.
Do not select a fixed S/N - except you know, that you need this...
...it only works with THIS number then; use : not selected S/N
+ in case you use a st-link V2 , in "usb-stick" version, its probably a counterfeit /not STM product,
STM32CubeIDE checking this and refuses to work, if not genuine stm chip inside the st-link.
