Hi,

Almost all demos are not able to run and display on STM32F769i-DISCO using v2.6.0.

Below is the terminal log

Hi @victagayun​ ,

There is a known issue in STM32CubeProgrammer v2.6.0 with paths containing spaces.

what's working with v2.6 :

1- open a CMD (windows command line) in STM32CubeProgrammer bin folder.

2- copy your hex in bin folder.

2- Call CLI in this way : STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=swd -d Firmware.hex -el ExternalLoader/ExternalLoader.stldr (replace ExternalLoader.stldr with the desired external loader);

You can also use the GUI for downloading your hex.

Hope it helps you.

Hi @victagayun​ ,

I hope my suggestion helps you to run your Demo.

If your question is answered, please close this topic by choosing Select as Best to. This will help other users find that answer faster.

Not being able to run out of their default installation directory doesn't seem like a satisfactory solution.

Surely the calling app should be quoting the passed path?

I used cubeprogrammer 2.5 instead, as per
