Has it been better tested than CubeIDE 1.8.0?

I installed Cube IDE 1.8.0 and since then I've had lots of downloading or debugging problems on several boards, like many other users on the community. ST's only response was: not reproduced. I reverted to 1.6.1.

I'm going to wait a while for others to say they have no problems before installing a new STM32CubeProgrammer...

Hi,

I jumped and updated from 2.8 to 2.10 this morning.

I did not test all the features yet, however I have noticed some odd behavior with this release, see output log below. This log was obtained from the GUI by simply connecting a F051 Discovery kit through its onboard ST-Link V2, in verbose mode 3. The onboard ST-Link firmware was updated just before to the latest revision.

Notice that it loads 3 times the USB driver dll, and listed 2 times in a row the ST-Link.

The rest of the operations are one only once, as expected.

Is it me or do other users see this as well ?

Best regards.

Hello @Kraal​ ,

First let me thank you for having reported 😊

Actually you're right, backing to the log, USB driver dll is loaded more than one time. Same for ST Link configuration and Target information which are duplicated in the log.

This misbehavior is reported internally to be reviewed and fixed.  I'll keep you posted with the updates.

Internal ticket number: Ticket 124081 (This is an internal tracking number and is not accessible or usable by customers).

Thanks for your contribution.

Khouloud.

Solved.

The fault comes from my Avast antivirus which detected false positives, and put files in quarantine. As notifications were disabled, it was done silently, and therefore CubeIDE behaved abnormally.

ST Support helped me resolve this issue beyond their control. Thank you

The download appears to be broken. I have tried several different browsers and 2 computers. After you accept the download agreement it comes up as "Sorry, Page Not Found"

Doesnt seem to work no matter what version you select....

[Tesla DeLorean]

@Nawres GHARBI​  @Khouloud OTHMAN​  running into a problem with the tool seizing up when reading full capacity on a 128MB device, goes very slowly, but at 99% it just spins endlessly, looks to be perhaps the next-to-last data block request in, ending in the 0x97FF8000 realm, the debug/verbose log seems to indicate the submission, but not return of the Read call (SPI FLASH MODE), so actually calling into the loader. Similar to a complaint I had with the command line version last year. Then I think the GUI version had a size limitation of the reading then (couple of MBs ?), now it does except 0x08000000 (128MB) as a request size.

Also I'm not sure I want to read this into the scrolling data display, I really just want "Save As" to work with a SIZE that I specify, not carry over the "Read" one. Or have a "Save All As" which takes the full memory size.

Who should I involve related to SW QA ?

120183 F7 flash bug did not make it into this release? any hope for .11?

BUG.

STM32CubeProgrammer 2.10.0 (probably older versions too) has an issue with showing correct BORF_LEV and BORR_LEV Option byte values, they are mixed with each other.

Adding screenshot from CLI. 

OB data: 0xFFFFE7AA, where E7 in binary 0b1110 0111.

According to the datasheet OB table, the BORR_LEV would be "11" and BORF_LEV - "00".

So, in CubeProgrammer (and CLI) it's swapped.

From STM32G031K6 datasheet:

[TKamp.1]

Helo, I got error after installing CubeProgrammer v2.10.0 on os x 10.9.5.

java -version

java version "1.8.0_331"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_331-b09)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.331-b09, mixed mode)

please somebody tell Me how to fix it. Thanks you
