STM32CubeIDE Serial Console in use

[PeterL]

I am stuck at step 6 in

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157C-DK2/Develop_on_Arm%C2%AE_Cortex%C2%AE-M4/Modify,_rebuild_and_reload_a_firmware

MPU Serial Console is operational, ethernet RJ45 also, and serial port is not opened elsewhere.

I don't get passed this yellow light, "serial consol in use"

​Hi @PeterL​ 

You screenshot is normal. You have indeed the serial console open.

Close it to see the widget status move to green

Hi @Community member​ 

Closing Console does not cause widget to change... For me.,.

@Community member​ , OK I assumed closing console was either using the tab cross or disconnect then tab cross. Neither worked. But there was another way to close. Using a cross located outside the tab, at the right end of the title window. Strangely that behaved differently than the tab cross.

Now it worked. Really odd way to close a tab...

When there is both an STLink connection and FTDI connection, then FTDI is chosen by CubeIDE. My problem is that FTDI port is not a linux console, but an application proprietary port.

At Window | preferences | STM32Cube | MPU Serial there seem to be a feature to choose a preferred com-port, but that is without effect for me.

I can see that wrong port is selected and fails to open since I have putty already opened the FTDI com port.
