ARM Debugger fails

[DonMilne]

I’m developing using the STM32F103xx processor. I have 2 VisualGDB custom support licenses last renewed in March this year.

A new version of OpenOCD was pushed to me today. Since then I am unable to program the flash, or run the debugger. Attempting to run the debugger causes the following exception:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'BSPEngine.IAdvancedProjectDebugService BSPEngine.IDebugStartService.get_AdvancedDebugService()'.
   at VisualGDB.Common_GUI.WPF.ItemizedProgressWindow.RunAction[_ResultType](wg2

1 action, String title, String caption, to1 exceptionHandler, Int32 noFormTimeout, String[] stages)
at uz1.i3.u2-1.c()
at l11.i1-1.c()
— End of inner exception stack trace —

at uz1.i3.s_2[_ResultType](wg2-1 b, String d, Int32 a, String[] c)
at uz1.LaunchGDBProjectWithoutDebugging.ExecuteForProject(uz1 instance, Project prj)
`
(I have changed some quote characters that seemed to cause format problems with this forum software) If I go to VisualGDB project properties Debug tab then it refuses to show me any details of the current debug method, instead it gives me a very similar error.

The STM32 ST-Link flash programmer utility has no problem flashing my board, so I’m quite certain that it isn’t some coincidental hardware problem.

I still can’t get the formatting to work, and now I seem to be blocked from editing it too.

Hi,

Sorry, it looks like an incompatibility between the different Preview builds. Please update VisualGDB to 5.4 Preview 4 and install the latest versions of the debug packages.

Yes, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the quick reponse.

Hi,

No problem and sorry for the inconvenience. We will consider making a specific check for this type of issue that will automatically suggest updating the necessary components.
