With STM32Cube IDE v1.15.0 update problem with STLink

[mcagriaksoy]

Hello all,

I have updated the STM32Cube IDE version to the 1.15.0, it has own STLinkUpgrade tool which is also updated to version 3.14.5. But a problem arised. It wants me to update my STLink V2 firmware. When I tried, It gives error like:

"Unexpected flash size for ST-Link Micro. Don`t know how to upgrade."

But I can use the older version 3.13.4 without any problem:

Is there a problem caused by 3.13.5 or caused by my ST-Link V2?

Tati_rn, try https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html as in my post above, it will do the update to the latest version and stop the warnings for STMCubeIDE.

Hello @PHolt.1 ,

Could you please specify the board that you are using?

Otherwise, here are some steps you can take to fix the problem:

•  Check Connection:

Under Window --> Preferences--> Network Connections, activate Native provider
Under Window --> Preferences--> Firmware Updater, click on Check Connection
don't forget Apply and Close, if the connection works.

• Erase the Flash memory using STM32Cubeprogrammer
• Disconnect the target from STM32CubeProgrammer
• Start the GDB server, preferably using a different port number
• Debug the program using ST-LINK_gdbserver

If that doesn't work, try this:

•  Uninstall and reinstall the ST-LINK drivers on your computer. Ensure that the drivers are compatible with your operating system.
•  Check that STLink usb drivers are installed
•  When you plug the board to the PC, It should enumerate as a STLink debug probe in device manager
•  Check the wiring cable and find one you know for sure is a data cable.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Rim.

It is a custom design of mine; not an ST board.

The STLINK V3 ISOL firmware update worked. The issue was with Cube IDE reported a missing file (see my post on eevblog; could not post the link here sine this forum removes certain words) but the file was not missing. Multiple threads here too.

I reverted to 1.14.1 and everything works again. I will freeze this project on 1.14.1 because one cannot just keep updating for ever, and allocate time to a production product to sort out a broken new tool version.

Thanks to everyone who has tried to solve this problem, but after about 3 hours of messing around, my solution was the same as PHolt.1, revert to 1.14.1.

Summary: I tried with the latest ST-LINK Updater exe version 3.15.6 and my problem has been resolved.

Document: Firmware upgrade for ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1 and STLINK‑V3 boards - Release note

It is happy to see my issue on fixes issues list.

The newer version of updater is not embedded on IDE yet. You need to download from here: STSW-LINK007 - ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1, STLINK-V3 boards firmware upgrade - STMicroelectronics

How can I log in to my.st account on stm32cubeIDME, it always reports problems with network devices, saying the module is disconnected, while everything is normal. Can someone help me? Thank

Thank you for your post. After upgrading to STM32CubeIDE v 1.17.0 and also my ST-Link V2 programmer to the latest firmware, I still got the error:

Error message from debugger back end: localhost:61234: Connection timed out. localhost:61234: Connection timed out.

After carefully following your instructions above, and specifically Under Window --> Preferences--> Firmware Updater, click on Check Connection then "Help" > "Check for Target Selector Device Database Updates" and also "Help" > "Manage Embeded Software Packages". After installing the necessary software packages specific to my target device, I restarted STM32CubeIDE and everything worked properly.

So, thank you once again! Much appreciated.
