[SOLVED] Problem running STM32CubeProgrammer

[jean-philippe Rey]

When running the program STM32CubeProgrammer, an error message appears, saying:

"CubeProgrammer_API or one of its dependencies is missing. Please try reinstalling the program of check your java architecture". However I have the lastest JAVA SE Run Time installed.

Any idea?

OS:

Windows 10 64-bit

Java:

java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10, mixed mode)

STM32CubeProgrammer version:

[EDITED]1.2.0

Hello @jean-philippe Rey​ ,

This is known issue and will be fixed in the coming release of STM32CubeProgrammer.

Please keep an eye out for the next update!

Kind Regards,

OK, fine. Any idea when the new version will be released?

Well V1.0.0 is relatively dated, the current version is V1.2.0

My mistake... I actually installed v1.2.0, which caused the issue

Hello,

In my case when used release V2.0.0 , this issue was solved after run as administrator.

I bumped into the same issue with v2.1.0.

My setup:

App: STM32CubeProgrammer v2.1.0

App Install path: $HOME/STMicroelectronics/

OS: Fedora-30-workstation 64 bit (Linux 5.2.13-200.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 6 14:30:40 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

JAVA runtime: Sun/Oracle [ JRE - **NOT JDK** ]: JRE 1.8 (jre1.8.0_221)

It looks like the java app is unable to locate the libCubeProgrammer_API.so. This is probably happening as I installed it as a standard non-priviledged user. I assume that the installer would normally link those libs from system lib paths when run as admin.

My workaround was to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the local install directory.

~/.bashrc:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/lib/

The app came up okay after that with some null pointer exception logged to console but it seems to work. I haven't tried it with the ST-LINK yet..

Hope this helps.

i've tried installing 2.4.0 on a Win10 machine, both as an administrator and as a user. in both cases the end result is that the startup puts up a message box telling me that the API can't be accessed (the same message as above). i've updated all the Java on this machine and i've successfully run this program on a different machine. if this can't be fixed, can somebody at least explain why one environment works and the other doesn't?

thanks,

Jm

Win10 x64 v2.3.0 STM32CubeProgrammer would not work logged in as a non-administrative user, even if you run as administrator.

Updating to v2.4.0 works logged in as a non-administrative user, only if you run as administrator.

Bit dodgy.
