STM32CubeProgrammer 2.6.0 does not launch on OSX (11.1, Big Sur)

[ARive.2]

Launching the app from the bin directory doesn't work either and there are no errors in the terminal. It just silently fails. I believe part of the problem is the update to version 2.6.0 which uses its own bundled JRE. Perhaps there is a conflict with the OpenJDK (Amazon Corretto) JRE installed on my machine. However, it is necessary to have JRE on my machine to run STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE.

I tried to download the previous version (2.5.0) and run that. It does not launch either, however, there are errors in the terminal.

Hi @ARive.2​ ,

To use STM32CubeProgrammer 2.5.0 :

OpenJDK (Amazon Corretto) is not recommended .You can use Zulu 8 instead as mentioned in this link :

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000KonaSSAR/stm32cubeprogrammer-zulu8-jre-recommended .

For STM32CubePRogrammer 2.6.0 :

Being in this path : /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/ , can you plz try to launch CubeProgrammer using one of this two commands

1- ./STM32CubeProgrammer

2- ../../../jre/bin/java -jar STM32CubeProgrammer

3- Try with CubeProgrammer_CLI and tell me if it is OK

Please try these commands and send me the log file .

Houda - thanks for the reply. I tried v2.6.0.

1 - Failed with the following error:

./STM32CubeProgrammer
./STM32CubeProgrammer
,????
chdir /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/.
current dir /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin
Exec error: No such file or directory

2 -

bin % ../../../jre/bin/java -jar STM32CubeProgrammer
zsh: no such file or directory: ../../../jre/bin/java

3 - CLI appears to work.

 ./STM32_Programmer_CLI

Hi @ARive.2​ ,

Thanks for your feedback.

When you are trying these commands are you already placed under this path ?Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/

Yes. I also just removed Corretto and installed Zulu JDK instead. Here is what I see now.

$ java -version
