STM32 CubeIDE 1.17.0 crashing

[CaueEvangelista]

Hello everyone,

I'm using STM32CubeIDE 1.17.0 on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS.

Sometimes when I build or open a project, the IDE crashes and I get the following error message:

JVM terminated. Exit code=143

I found another post here with an almost identical message, but unfortunately it was closed with no answers.

Has anyone else experienced this on Ubuntu 24.04? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Things I've tried so far:

• Increasing Xmx to 2048m in stm32cubeide.ini

• Cleaning the workspace

• Starting with a fresh workspace

None of these solved the problem.

Thanks in advance for any help

Exit code=143 is a SIGTERM signal, so the JVM did not crash internally with a Java exception; it received a termination signal from the OS or another process and shut down.

Do you have enough processing power/RAM on your PC while building?

Version 1.17 is quite old tho, I would upgrade to 1.19 at least

Hello guys,

I wasn’t aware of how outdated the version I’m using is—it came preinstalled on my work machine. I’ll update to a newer one.

@nico23 : I had the same suspicion, so I monitored the RAM usage with htop while opening a project. The 8 GB of RAM were completely exhausted just before the crash. I’ll upgrade the memory and report back with the results.
