How to run STM32CubeProgrammer on MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88)

godlyblade · ‎2019-12-06

I have installed STM32CubeProgrammer V2.2.1 (https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html) on my MacBook without problems.

When I try to run the application, the programmer icon appears in the dock for about half a second and disappears immediately.

So I tried to open the application via terminal:

And I can see error code -10810...

What can I do now?

Best regards!

Hi All,

I ran into the same problems on Big Sur plus some others.

As @AVoel.1 stated, it's necessary to copy the jre included in the download. But also is required to use it.

What worked for me was:

1: Copy the jre folder into the .app dir:

$ sudo cp -R jre /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/

2: Execute the Application on its path using the new jre. This way both jre and missing dependencies errors are solved.

cd /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin
 
$ ../../../jre/bin/./java -jar STM32CubeProgrammer

Hope this helps!

I didn't need to perform this last step, and I'm on the latest Big Sur. I wonder why. I just started the App like any other app in the Applications folder after copying the jre.

Maybe it is because I installed it on Catalina and it simply kept working when I updated to Big Sur?

I don't know. But cubemx worked for me as you described for cubeprogrammer. Not the same luck with cubeprogrammer 2.8.

en.stm32cubeprg-mac_v2-8-0_v2.8.0 still does not work for Big Sur.

During installation, an error message occurred showing JRE not found.

I've just installed on Monterey macOS 12.0.1

Just do as the 2nd post says.

Install " jdk-8u231-macosx-x64 "

Go to the directory where the STM32CubeProgrammer installer is located.

Probably your downloads folder.

Open Terminal

Type:

cd downloads
cd en

then type this (substitute the version number if yours is different / newer):

sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.8.0.exe

Once the app has finished installing, you're NOT finished yet.

Open the folder where STM32 programmer was installed.

Right click on the SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.8.0 file (NOT the exe), and click "Show Package Contents".

Now drag the "jre" folder from your downloads en folder, in to the package contents you're just opened.

Close the folder and double click on the app.

It should run. It did for me.

Update 31st Oct 2022:

I've just successfully used the same installation steps with -

macOS Ventura 13.0

jdk-11.0.16.1

SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.11.0

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help.

I incorrectly copied jre to wrong location of the application. From you reply, I now copy it to the same level as Contents of STM32CubeProgrammer.

I do not use the JAVA version you mentioned. I tried Java 1.8.0_302 and 11.0.12. Both work during installation and also connecting ST-Link V2.

Also hitting a wall in Big Sur, got the following when following the steps above to a T.

I can launch STMCubeProgrammer, but when selecting JTAG as an interface and attempting to connect, I crash every. single. time.

Have any ideas? Toying with an upgrade to Monterey, just to make life more complicated.

Do you have target board connected? For me, when there is no target board, connecting using SWD or JTAG just crash. I do not have any board to test JTAG right now.

But Windows version does not have this issue.
