STM32CubeIDE compatibility with Snapdragon X Windows on Arm

[tatemazer]

Has there been any confirmation if there are any compatibility issues with running the STM32CubeIDE on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series based Windows 11 Hardware?

[tatemazer]

To answer my own question, I am successfully building projects on my new Surface Pro 11 with the snapdragon X Elite.

Unfortunately the ST-link driver is not compatible with windows on arm, so I'm unable to flash.

What do you see in device manager for the st-link? Use "devices by connection" view.

Could you please try this? Does it work for you?

Because if it works, I will buy surface the same day

Thank you

I saw that thread a few weeks ago and tried that process. It calls for disabling driver checks, because attempting to install the st-link driver on an ARM64 machine will throw a error stating "The Third-party INF doesn’t contain Digital Signature Information".

I followed the process offered by CPop.1, and strangely enough I couldn't disable driver checks. I went through the BIOS steps twice to try and get it to work, but both times, the error message still popped up.

I see the st-link listed here, with no driver installed:

[myPCname]/ACPI  ARM64-based PC/Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System/Synopsys USB 3.0 Dual-Role Controller/Qualcomm(R) USB3(TM) eXtensible Host Controller/USB Root Hub (3.0)/Generic USB Hub/STM32 STLink

Try to install winusb driver on it manually.

Thanks for the tip, Pavel. I've followed the instructions here but I get hit with a warning message. Am I safe to continue? I hope you can excuse my excess of caution with this new computer.

@tatemazer Nothing bad should happen. If it won't work, just remove the device in dev.manager, unplug, replug and let Windows detect it again.

But of course I disclaim responsibility for anything. The computer can melt down... a portal can suddenly open and  suck you into Microsoft campus... be warned.

Thanks for the disclaimer ':D. I was successful in following those steps to install the winusb driver, but I sadly still get the "No ST-Link Detected!" message in stm32cubeide.

the device is now listed as follows in my device manager:

.../USB Root Hub (3.0)/USB Composite Device/ST-Link Debug

As a sanity check, I also was able to confirm on a windows 11 x86 computer that the st-link is detectable.

I also saw a thread about trying OpenOCD for the debug probe and had the same result.
