STM32CubeIDE 'Could not determine GDB version using command: arm-none-eabi-gdb --version'

scotthud · ‎2024-07-01

Hello,

I am using STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.15.1 Build: 21094_20240412_1041 (UTC). I am using windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4412).

I have recently started receiving this error message when launching the debugger "Could not determine GDB version using command: arm-none-eabi-gdb --version". I'm not sure what changed from one day to the next where I started getting this message and I've asked my IT department if anything changed on our side but it doesn't seem that was the case. Has anyone else started getting this error, or figured out a way to resolve it?

thanks!

Same here. It seems that Cube can not keep the default toolchain info.

STM32CubeIDE

Version: 1.12.0

I tried a fresh install, no updates.

Was working fine until some weeks ago.

Hello again.

I installed

Version: 1.13.2

Build: 18220_20230914_1601 (UTC)

because my projects were build using this version.

The error happens starting the second debugging session: the first session after starting STM32CUbe IDE is always successful.

This is the error window:

gdb error window

I tried forcing the path for the tools, the problem persists:

I am still having this problem off and on. The only insight I have into it is that I think it might be because of the security software that we run on our PC's as well blocking the call to the command prompt when the gdb server is launching. I disabled our security software which made the gdb_server work again. I'd look into that angle if you haven't already.
