STLINK V3MINIE only working in command-line mode after STM32CubeProgrammer

[HagedornJ]

Without starting the STM32 Cube Programmer (GUI) I get following error message:

After I have started the STM32 Cube Programmer it works:

The problem can be reproduced by disconnect the STLINK V3MINIE.

I am using the latest version: V2.17.0

In my boundary scan test environment I need the command line programming.

Does anyone have an idea?

Many thanks in advance

show the command line you are using

[HagedornJ]

@Echo OFF
SET TOOL="C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe"

ECHO Press ENTER to erase chip
pause
%TOOL% -c port=JTAG -hardRst
%TOOL% -c port=JTAG reset=SWrst -e all

ECHO Done
pause

First, try running it with Echo ON - to ensure that your variable is getting properly expanded.

What happens if you explicitly specify your target MCU on the command line?

Hello Andrew,

Many thanks for your help.

I didn't found any parameter to set the MCU in the command line.
