Unable to upload firmware on Ubuntu 24.04

[Lennart]

As described in this post during installation of CubeIDE on Ubuntu 24.04 an error is presented because libncurses5 is not available for Ubuntu 24.04. This can be worked around by using the generic installer. When attempting to upload firmware to an MCU, however, the same error message is given (it is shown as "Could not determine GBD version", but in details the missing libncurses5 is shown). The solution to a similar problem is given in this post, but the solution does not work for the CubeIDE as it requires a specific version of libncurses to be installed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @Lennart 

First let me thank you for posting.

I need to mention that the Ubuntu 24.04 is not yet supported by STM32CubeIDE.
Check the release note of STM32CubeIDE under this link.

BR,

Still have the error, and now "Linux®: Ubuntu® LTS 22.04 and LTS 24.04, and Fedora® 40" are officialy supported.

To fix uploading firmware for the CubeIDE on Ubuntu 24.04 install gdb-multiarch

sudo apt install gdb-multiarch

and replace arm-none-eabi-gdb file in <stm32cubeide_1.19.0 install dir>/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.13.3.rel1.linux64_1.0.0.202410170706/tools/bin/ directory with symlink to /usr/bin/gdb-multiarch.
