STM32CubeMonitor - Trigger SW Reset

[MKori.1]

Hello,

I would like to trigger a STM32 device reset from inside STM32CubeMonitor.

I'm developing an application using STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMonitor. Duringe measuring of my variables via STM32CubeMonitor it is possible that my device gets into a reduced function safe state (on purpose). Then it would be very helpful to trigger a device reset via a button like I'm able to do during debugging in STM32CubeIDE.

I understand currently only the topics: Read, Start and Stop are available for a probe-node. Is it possible to trigger a reset via additional (maybe undocumented) options or is this feature planned in a future release?

If not is there a workaround available? I tried to connect to the GDB server opened by the probe-node after starting the acquisition but wasn't successful. As far as a saw it, the server is always opend on a different port?!.

Thank you

Best regards

Martin

As a workaround I can trigger a reset via STM32ProgrammerCLI. But this doesn't work when the connection is active.

Hello @MKori.1​ 

There's no such option in STM32CubeMonitor, as a workaround you may also try to use write node in order to write a variable to trigger an event in your application to reset.

Hello,

thank you for your idea, this should work for me. As the debugger interface in the background is already able to reset the device is it planned to update the probe-node? Is there a place to post such ideas? Something like "Issues" in Github.

I will raise a Change request to the dev. team to post your proposal.
