ST-Link requires admin rights...?

hi all,

apparently the ST-Link requires admin rights to allow program/debug. Specifically I observed that I can only program the STM8 ''Discovery Kit'' from my admin account, not the one with restricted access. Is this intended?

PS: I run Windows XP SP3 with STCD v4.1.4

Thanks in advance,

Georg

Hi

I've got the same issue.

There's a convenient workaround possible (at least for me):

edit the desktop shortcut to the toos to use runas /savecred

Just add ''runas /savecred /user:admin_accout to the Target, e.g.:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /savecred /user:admin_account C:\Programme\STMicroelectronics\st_toolset\stvp\stvp.exe

I had the same problem. I solved it in Windows 7 by edit the properties of C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\st_toolset\stvd\stvdebug.exe.

Change to tap compatibility and enable run as admin.

hi,

sorry for the late reply, I was on a business trip and had forgotten my discovery board... 

I will need to check your tipp at work, where I have the problems. However, I suspect that the (very) restricted access rights on my office PC prohibit the use of ''runas''. I'll report tomorrow...

Regards, 

Georg

hi again,

as expected, the access restrictions prevent using ''runas'' on my office PC. My workaround is using an external RLink instead of the built-in ST-Link. At home I use the ST-Link. Not a nice solution but it works for me. Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback!
