STM32N6570-DK - debugger loses connection

[Ko1rr1ef]

Hi,

 

I am trying to debug my STM32N6570-DK board, i followed the steps listed under 4.1.3 (Debugging the application) in the getting started instruction list (https://www.st.com.cn/resource/en/application_note/an6265-getting-started-with-stm32n6-mcus-in-stm32cubeide-stmicroelectronics.pdf). When i try to debug the application, it starts normally (code uploads to the external memory), but when i click resume to start the program, the debugger loses connection and eventually exits debug mode. The program I am trying to debug was made using TouchGFX, it's configured as an FreeRTOS project. This is the output the debugger gives to me:

Starting server with the following options:
Persistent Mode : Disabled
Logging Level : 1
Listen Port Number : 61234
Status Refresh Delay : 15s
Verbose Mode : Disabled
SWD Debug : Enabled

Hello @Ko1rr1ef ,

Let me thank you for your feedback.

Before launching the debug session, I recommend that you erase the board memory with STM32CubeProgrammer.

Thanks.

Hello @Mahmoud Ben Romdhane 

I performed a full chip erase of the external memory using STM32CubeProgrammer. After the erase completed, I attempted to debug again, but the console output remained exactly the same as before.

For completeness: I can successfully upload and run programs using STM32CubeProgrammer. The same project that fails during debugging runs correctly when flashed via CubeProgrammer.
