STLink Server with MacOS 15

[jdw]

 

Hello,

I updated to Mac15 (MacOS Sonoma Public Beta), which was probably a mistake. Now I get an error from STMCubeIDE when I try to run indicating "ST-Link Server is required to launch the debug session" and to Please download it on www.st.com.  

I figured something changed in the OS that no longer makes the ST-Link Server run any more.

However when I try to download it, I get essentially a broken link, or at least it simply wont download. Even worse, the web page with Safari seems entirely broken and I cant even get a download to start after accepting the license, but with FireFox I get further, I get but still wont download and the link seems broke.

I can still flash using the STM32CubeProgrammer fortunately (using 2.13.1).

Can anyone tell me how to download this ST-Link Server? Or if there is an issue with the last MacOS and this and there is no fix?

Thank you

Hmmm. 

This might be due to running with the sudo command. It could have broken some permissions.

In fact it now works - but I am using a French keyboard and using sudo, it is seen as a UK one and I cant switch back.
Inconvenient but at least I am not stuck.
Thanks for your help

The solution is not working for me. One thing I’ve realized is that macOS doesn’t meet my needs, while Windows has been reliable for many years without any issues with STM.

With STMCubeIDE version 17 it is claimed to be solved.

STM32CubeIDE debugger no longer works in macOS 15.0 Sequoia (STLink and STLinkGDBServer support)

 

Can anybody confirm as it still does not work for me.

I even have deinstalled the software, deleted remaining files and reinstalled ver 17.

I can confirm that it DOES work with MacOS 15.1.1 and CubeIDE 1.17.0.

Updating from 1.16.x was a complete bust, there was an issue with the popup dealing with trusting various packages not having any content, then having to chase it across various monitors, then it wouldn't take clicks, so I just did a clean install of 1.17.0 and it just worked.

thanks so much.

Upgrading to STM32CubeIDE 1.17.0 (on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1) solved the issue for me.

Thanks so much @fsteiner , worked for me too!

See replies in https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-boards-and-hardware/st-link-server-is-required-error-after-macos-update/td-p/719546 that points to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78996974/stm32cubeide-debugger-no-longer-works-in-macos-15-0-sequoia

1) if `locate stink-server` does not work then use `where stlink-server`

2) mine stink-server is found at /usr/local/bin. This path is included in /etc/paths (global OS settings) and also seen in `echo $PATH`. So, starting IDE from CLI also helps to use ST-Link even without superuser rights and STM32CubeProgrammer works as it was before macOS 15 upgrade

3) if you ever started STM32CudeIDE under superuser account then your workspace files can be spoiled with superuser permissions. IDE could complain about impossibility to save some settings. But it looks like it can fix itself.

4) Running STM32CubeIDE from application shortcut still does not work.
