I just wanted to create a new project for the board ( last project I created about 24 hours ago, was still working ). That caused an update to run, the device is now obsolete, and I can't create projects, get the error: The target device 'STM32F429I-DISC1' is currently not supported by STM32CubeIDE according 'Obsolete' marketing status
As of now, the status on https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/32f429idiscovery.html is still ACTIVE. What is that, and how can it be fixed urgently?
Solved! Go to Solution.

That is, unless ST will give me a beta tester job....

100 USD per validated bug report incentive?

Yes it works
Delete .stmcufinder directory and start without internet

Thank's a lot for the hint with removing ".stmcufinder"
You actually saved my weekend, now I can make my demo app.
I did not completely disable networl connection here, just used Windows Firewall to inhibit internetaccess for STM32CubeIDE.
Works like a charm, thanky you again.

First, ST would need to notice at all.

The activation status is in boards.json....taking a backup of that file when in clean state should do the trick...whenever create a new project just restore your healthy copy again.

I raised a support case, somewhen Monday/Tuesday they should notice

In that case with ST's software quality I could quit my job and earn more with bug reports...

Just in case it helps someone, I just faced the same problem and solved it by editing the boards.json file (in .stmcufinder/plugins/mcufinder/mcu), changing the "marketingStatus" of my board from "Obsole" to "Active".
I just tried it now and it worked, my board apears as active and I can create the project.
Happy coding : )

Dear community members
The issue that many of you have faced and reported here these last 2 days, where our boards were marked as "obsolete" in STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE has been solved.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Thomas
