STM32CubeController doesn't recognize STM32f3348-discovery

[elsueno]

When I open STM32CubeProgrammer (v2.21.0) it displays an error modal "Old ST-LINK firmware version. Upgrade ST-LINK firmware. 

If I click the "Firmware Upgrade" button an STLinkUpgrade 3.16.8 shows up with 

Current firmware: (blank)

Type: (blank)
Version: Unknown
Update to Firmware: Unknown.

The upgrade button does nothing when clicked. How do I fix this?

I downloaded the software here  https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html
After running
/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -jar stsw-link007-v3-17-10/stsw-link007/AllPlatforms/STLinkUpgrade.jar

There is another upgrade dialog with version 3.17.10 displaying the same firmware info as above, with the upgrade button greyed out.

Other commands ive run

$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/019

Hello @elsueno ,

Verify USB recognition and permissions. Check also physical connections and jumper.

Does the problem occur when you use another board, different USB port and new cables?

How to solve connection errors when connecting and programming the STM32 target board

Hello. The cables and connections are all good. I have been
writing/flashing successfully with rust and has all been working well.

What do you mean check the usb permissions? what should they be?

Hello,

As it's an old device (I assume containing a very old ST-LINK firmware), try to use ST-LINK utility (an old tool) to update your STLINK device using that menu:

I remember I had same issues with ST-LINK having old firmwares, I solved that with ST-LINK Utility.

After updating the ST-LINK with STLINK utility, then update the device with CubeProgrammer.

Hope that helps.
