OpenOCD based debugging does not work with STM32F723

[UdoEberhardt]

Hi,

I downloaded the VisualGDB trial and wanted to use it with STM32F723 on this eval board: http://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/32f723ediscovery.html but failed.

The board has an integrated ST-Link v2.1 which is detected by VGDB automatically, fine. But when I hit the Test button then I get the output below. It looks like the OpenOCD scripts do not support this MCU.

I found that in the “System Workbench for STM32” IDE from AC6 there is a different set of .cfg scripts. With this IDE the board works without issues.

Is there an easy way to fix that?

This also raises a more general question: What is Sysprogs’ strategy to maintain support for current and upcoming STM32 chips and boards?

 

Thanks.

Udo

Hi,

The mainstream OpenOCD usually starts supporting STM32 devices a few months after they are released (we rebuild our package from the latest sources regularly).

If you don’t want to wait, please try replacing the OpenOCD binary in %LOCALAPPDATA%\VisualGDB\EmbeddedDebugPackages\com.sysprogs.arm.openocd\bin with the version from the AC6. Normally no script modification should be necessary, however if it doesn’t help, please try using the script from the AC6 distro as well.

If this does not work, please let us know and we will be happy to help.

Hi,

I copied the openocd bin and script files from the AC6 distro and now it works. Using the bins only does not solve it.

Thank you for your help!

Udo
