STM32CubeMX can't recognize the flash size correctly and the debugger won't start

Flash size is the default and no more programs can be loaded.

I'm using an STM2L151DTx, so there's plenty of flush

Why is it [Flash size: 128 KBytes (default)]?

The STM32 ST-LINK Utility can be recognized and written normally.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello @FARSL.1​ ,

First of all Welcome to ST Community!

In order to ensure a follow-up of your request, could you please submit it in a new thread?

You can provide link to current question if you think that both cases are similar.

Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks for your answer @Amel NASRI​ .

I did not want to open another thread. Because I get same problem with @高橋 �?�一​ . This problem still going on. I could not find any solutions about wrong flash size detect.

The same tool, the same MCU and the same bug - incorrect flash size. It does not need a new thread, because at least from a user's perspective it is exactly the same issue, which is still not fixed or has been broken again.

OK then let us keep it here :) and ping our STM32CubeProgrammer Expert (@Houda GHABRI​ ) in order to provide a status for this issue.

Hi @FARSL.1​ ,

I confirm for STM32L151RD (Device ID 0x436 ) there is an issue of Flash size :128KB displayed in STM32CubePRogrammer instead of 384KB.

This issue is already under debugging by CubePRogrammer development team and will be fixed soon.

I will come back with the latest updates.

Hope this helps you.

Hello I have the same problem.

I contacted you about this maybe 6-7 months ago. Can you even imagine all the trouble i had to deal with? I couldnt debug my software fully. I had to comment out some parts in order to use debugger with STM32 cubeMX ide.

Check out my post

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000Laws9SAB/stm32l15xxdstm32l162xd-error-operation-exceeds-memory-limits

How can you be so neglecting I jsut dont get it.

Please find a solution to this issue. When will you do this?

Thanks

Workaround: use ST-LINK_CLI.exe or the gdb debugger built into the IDE rather than STM32CubeProgrammer.

Hi @herca.1​ ,

Did you try with the last CubeProgrammer version 2.8.0 ?

Issue should be fixed in this release.

Hello,

Using 2.8.0 and using STM32L15xx microcontroller

This is the output of Cube Programmer. Verbosity level 3. Is this also fixed for CubeMX IDE, I want to be able to debug my software.
