Application was not running in RELEASE mode by saying "Debugger connection lost. Shutting down..."

[HNall.1]

Hi have a simpler STM32 application which includes below simpler code in main.c file.

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(){
 
	int a=10, b=20;
	printf("Sum=%d \n", a+b);
	return 0;
}

Later i build the project in RELEASE mode and ran the application then it was throwing below error.

Can anybody help me in resolving this issue?

> below error.

What error? The program says it was downloaded and successfully verified.

Also, never return from main().

Hi @TDK​ ,

I am new to micro-controller programming. Also, I'm not sure why i'm seeing "Debugger connection lost.Shutting down..." at the end.

It would be very helpful if you respond with some explaination/resource.

Also I'm not seeing printf output anywhere in the console. This is the reason I'm feeling Runtime it was not working. How can i see the printf() output.

[TDK]

Not real sure. Your question essentially boils down to something not working with little to no additional info. Hard to debug that remotely.

There is no standard way for printf to behave. Some people port it to UART. Some to SWO output. I don't know which configuration you're using.

Where are you getting this example? Have you looked at and ran STM32CubeIDE board examples?

Hi @TDK​ ,

​

Please let me know, What additional iinformation you required to understand this problem.

​

This is very simpler example to add two numbers.​

I have not taken a look at STM32CUBDEIDE examples.​

STM32CubeProgrammer v2.5.0-RC1

V2.5.0 doesn't support for STM32F4 . for this please check the STM32CubeProgrammer document .

So, download the STMCube IDE (v 1.1.0 )
