Hi,
still pretty, pretty new to STM32CubeIDE, I'm trying to understand how it works by doing little things. So right now I'm trying to combine both debugger with a terminal both running in STM32CubeIDE.
To include terminal in STM32CubeIDE I have followed instruction given here:
How to use the STM32CubeIDE terminal to send and receive data (Knowledge Base)
So far, running a little test program, I was succesfull doing it at least for very first debug session (i.e. after power cycling the Nucleo-Board). I quit the debug session with the indicated button shown on attached figure below
However, when I start a debug session a second time, I get always(!) the same error message (see below)
The only way I found so far is to make a hard power cycle to the Nucleo-Board to make it connected in the STM32CubeIDE again.
Well, in STM32CubeIDE, because I also installed Tera Term and here everything is working fine. But actually I'm a fan of having thing in one application that can be in one.
So my question is: Is there a better way of connecting the terminal again in STM32CubeIDE after quitting a debug session?
Regards
Sebastian
