With STM32Cube IDE v1.15.0 update problem with STLink

[mcagriaksoy]

Hello all,

I have updated the STM32Cube IDE version to the 1.15.0, it has own STLinkUpgrade tool which is also updated to version 3.14.5. But a problem arised. It wants me to update my STLink V2 firmware. When I tried, It gives error like:

"Unexpected flash size for ST-Link Micro. Don`t know how to upgrade."

But I can use the older version 3.13.4 without any problem:

Is there a problem caused by 3.13.5 or caused by my ST-Link V2?

Hello @mcagriaksoy 

Can you give more details about the board/MCU that you are using.

Best Regards.

Hello, @STTwo-32 I am using STLink V2, my MCU is "STM32G491CCU"

How about a picture of the bottom side of the STLink.  There are quite a few clones out there.  This may be that the newer updater version had more robust checks for clone units.  Just guessing here.

I have the same situation after the last CubeIDE update.

My v15 updated my STLINK V3 successfully but the debugger is not found afterwards

Encountered Error when opening C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.13.2\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.cubeprogrammer.win32_2.1.200.202311302303\tools\bin\STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe
Error in STM32CubeProgrammer

(the file is present)

Cube IDE 1.15.0 is brain-dead. I reverted to Cube 1.14.1 and everything works. v15 brings GCC v12 tools and they have other issues - see other threads which suggest that some dud code is generated. But with no working debugger I can't track it down, obviously.

Hello All, 

For the original issue of the Post, I have reported internally for more investigation via Internal ticket number: 176701. For the second issue initiated by @PHolt.1, it is also reported by my colleague @Imen.D for investigation under ticket number 176694.

Best Regards.

Hello,

Try to update your ST-Link FW with the STSW-LINK007 ST-Link firmware updater application. Use ST-LinkUpgrade.exe executable.

Hi,

I tried but same. The versions of ST-Link firmware updater applications are same.

Hi, I have exactly same problem.

Rom size problem could be from wrong file path. Let 's wait a fix.

Thanks

Just a data point: Cube 1.15.0 successfully upgraded firmware in my STLINK V3 ISOL but could not use the debugger afterwards (error messages posted above).

I did not try running Cube on the target without upgrading the debugger, which unfortunately I did immediately.

I've downloaded the ST-Link upgrade v3.14.5 from:

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html

Unpack the zip and run STLinkUpgrade exe in the windows folder.

I was surprised when this successfully upgraded the ST-Link/V2 to V2.J44.S7 and then allowed the IDE to run without prompting for an upgrade it cannot complete!

Hope this works for you until a fix comes out for STM32Cube IDE 1.15.0

Regards Ian

Thank you for posting this. That solved my problem.

It is a custom design of mine; not an ST board.

The STLINK V3 ISOL firmware update worked. The issue was with Cube IDE reported a missing file (see my post on eevblog; could not post the link here sine this forum removes certain words) but the file was not missing. Multiple threads here too.

I reverted to 1.14.1 and everything works again. I will freeze this project on 1.14.1 because one cannot just keep updating for ever, and allocate time to a production product to sort out a broken new tool version.

Summary: I tried with the latest ST-LINK Updater exe version 3.15.6 and my problem has been resolved.

 

Document: Firmware upgrade for ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1 and STLINK‑V3 boards - Release note

It is happy to see my issue on fixes issues list.

The newer version of updater is not embedded on IDE yet. You need to download from here: STSW-LINK007 - ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1, STLINK-V3 boards firmware upgrade - STMicroelectronics
