After an update i am not able to debug my program. I have already tried an new installation of the STMCubeIDE 1.12.0 but it still doesn't work. I've already tried to add a local toolchain in the Toolchain Manager, but the error still apears. Does anybody have an idea to solve this problem? :)

Hello @Stone1234 

First let me thank you for posting.

I suggests you to start by locating the GDB Server

  1. Ensure that it exists at the customer file system. Example: C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.12.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.10.3-2021.10.win32_1.0.200.202301161003\tools\bin
  2. Open “cmd” in the folder containing gdb and try to execute arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe --version

It is possible that anti-virus software has either deleted gdb or prevented it from launching. Test 1&2 should be sufficient to tell you if this is true…

I will wait for  your feedback.

KR,

Semer.

Hello CHERNI,

thank you for the quick reply.

I executed the steps 1 & 2 and got this as the result from cmd:

Same here. It works once as soon as I restart STM32CubeIDE and plug the Nucleo board usb cable. Then it stops working. I've just updated the ST-Link firmware on the Nucleo board to latest version.

Hello,

Here is the .log file you needed.
