    Is this a nucleo board?

    Does STM32CubeProgrammer connect?

    The debug tools are not super consistent. If STM32CubeProgrammer works, your hardware connection is fine.

    Power cycle the board and try again. Try rebooting your system. Yes I know it's annoying.

    There may be something STM32U5 specific here, but I also see odd behavior like this with other families occasionally in STM32CubeIDE.

    I'm having the same problem with the (ST-LINK GDB server) connection, when I switch to 'ST-LINK (OpenOCD)' I can debug the application.

    When I use the (ST-LINK GDB server) I get the following message:

    -----------

    In my case, I get it to run by setting --> menu Run.Debug Configurations. Debugger:

    1) connect to remote GDB Server Port Number change to not 61234 --> 61238, (while still chose Autostart local GDB server, Connect to remote GDB Server is not chosen, just change the number

    2) Reset Behaviour: choose Hadware reset

    Then it runs smoothly every time.. :) :), I really don't know what is the best/correct answer, just sharing my experience...
