st8 Discovery gdi-error [40201]: can't access configuration database

Hi,

I'm trying to use the ST Visual Develop with the Cosmic st8 32k compiler.  I install everything and build the project.  That all works fine.  When I try to connect to the Discovery board with the debugger using Swim ST-link, I receive the following error:Starting debug session... -> Emulator reset (usb://usb)...  ** Connection error (usb://usb): gdi-error [40201]: can't access configuration database -> Failed to connect target.I have tried uninstalling and re-installing everything including the drivers.  I've tried other target settings.  The only one that works is the simulator.When I connect the Discovery board, my computer sees it as an external HD.  I get the pop-up window and can look at the links stored on the board.  I'm using Windows 7 64bit.I should also add that after the above error message a windows 7 pop-up appears saying that gdb7 has stopped working and a red LED glows on the board.Any help would be appreciated.Regards,Marc #stm8-discovery #i-also-get-same-error-so-please

Unfortunately, nothing I could read so far was able to solve mi problem. I tried all things described in this topic as well as severals others attempts by myself.

In fact, the issue seams related to the install pack newers.

What I did? Well, I remember that the old versions have been work issueless by the years.

Before everything, I unistalled the issue last version ST Toolset.

I got a 2010 ST Toolset installer, then I installed this one and all worked.

After that, I up to date the old instalation with STToolset newer version.

And so, got mi happy ending.
