How to use JLink with STM32CubeIDE v1.3.0

[SChen.11]

Hi, I saw the release document of STM32CubeIDE v1.3.0 that says supported use the JLink debugger. So I try to use JLink with STM32CubeIDE v1.3.0 on my pc (the os is Debian 9 ). But I saw the console has some error. It's shows cann't detect the MPU core. Below is the debug message

Hi,

SEGGER probes are provided as experimental support. We did not want to block usage, but also had no time to properly test this probe with MPU.

Looking at SEGGER website it seems as if they use slightly different device name parameters then done in STM32CUbe tools:

https://www.segger.com/downloads/supported-devices.php

We use the device name "STM32MP157CACx". In order for SEGGER to work you need to modify this to whatever fits your use case:

• STM32MP15xx_M4_DualFlash
• STM32MP15xx_M4_Bank1
• STM32MP15xx_M4_Bank2

In CubeIDE you are able to override the default device name, using one of the above. You will find the setting in the the debug configuration GUI for SEGGER, see the field "Device".

Let us know if this solves the issue!

Thanks for your quickly response. I try to use JLinkExe command to connect device with JTAG and SWD interface.

Below message is use SWD way.

./JLinkExe -device STM32MP15xx_M4_DualFlash -speed 4000 -if SWD

It seems the JLink recognise the m4 as m0. Did you had success on this way?

And I also try to use JTAG interface, it's failed after connect command in JLink.
