STM32 debugging issue

Question

I am using a Nucleo F303RE board. And whenever I try to debug in STM32cubemxIDE. It always shows an error for failed to start GDB error. I have attached the screenshot

I have updated the ST-Link firmware and also checked my device manager.

I have also tried disabling my windows defender.

I have also tried to change the frequency, interface, auto-connect under Debug Configuration.

Would be great if someone could help me out. I am stuck with an important demo at work.

I also tried it on Atollic TrueStudio but still no luck.enter image description here

Thanks

Target no device found

Error in initializing ST-LINK device. Reason: No device found on target.

Answer 1

The reason is: No device found on target. This Means the debugger is working but it can't connect to the microcontroller.

The problem may be one of these:

• The connection between the debugger and the controller. Check them first.

• The serial wire debugger is disabled (I strongly think that this is the problem). when you create a new project in CubeMX or CubeIDE the serial wire debugger by default is disabled (I expect that you burn the code for only one time :) ). So you MUST erase the flash using stlink utility or such a tool. And enable the serial wire debugger from the CubeMX in category SYS.
