ST link error: Failed to bind to port 61235; Failure starting SWV server

[meena]

Hi I am experiencing an issue on my IDE I couldn't able to Run/Debug .However the ST Link can be communicated with the target in STM32 Cube programmer but not in STM32 cube IDE.

Console  Error:

STMicroelectronics ST-LINK GDB server. Version 7.7.0

Can someone Please help me

Please post a legible screenshot.

I am using STM32 Discovery Kit  board to program my prototype.My target have STM32G030K8 MCU. I can program hex file with STM32 Cube Programmer but not able to use STM32Cube IDE for debugging

Hello @meena ,

The image shared is not clear. So please share a better picture resolution.

Also you didn't mention which product? which board are you using? ST board? custom board? 

Are you using an external ST-LINK? if yes, is it a genuine ST-LINK?

@meena The article How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution will help you with the information to provide, and other tips ...

I am using STM 32 Discovery Kit as my ST link it worked fine all of a sudden I am experiencing this error.

Suggest a "network" issue (even if everything is local to the same PC).

STM32CubeIDE does require some Windows Firewall exceptions - presumably for this kind of stuff.

So maybe something has messed with that...?

[meena]

its windows defender blocking the St_link server.Thanks for the support.

 

[mƎALLEm]

Or try to unisntall CubeIDE and install the latest version 1.18.0.

[meena]

Yes Updated and still its Firewall blocking the Stlink server. Thanks for the support.

Hi,

I am having the same issue. I clearly have a clone - ooops, but am hoping you can guide me anyway. STM32CubeIDE is able to upgrade the firmware, and Arduino IDE can upload sketches, so I assume the Firewall could be the problem. I have tried adding something as an exception, and I have reinstalled the IDE, but still not working. Can you guide me how to set the Firewall?

Have you tried restarting the computer - it's worked for at least two different people:

Restarting did get me further, so I can now upload programs with some roundabout way that isn't necessary in Arduino IDE or with PlatformIO CLI. I'll probably have to start a new thread for that.
