STM32F407 Discovery Board, Debugging & Programming Problem

[AF]

Hi

I have the following setup

1. VisualGDB (5.3 Preview 5)
2. OpenOCD – 0.10
3. GDB – 7.12
4. STM32F407 Discovery Board

 

I am trying to program a standard blinky program and I have used the following link to setup the project.

https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arm/stm32/f4_discovery/

I have attached the GDB log that is generated when I try to program the board.

Help in solving this would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Please update to the latest VisualGDB 5.3 Preview 6. It includes new API that lets the OpenOCD package report the FLASH programming progress, so the previous preview builds won’t work with the latest OpenOCD package.

Thanks for the quick answer. Upgrading to preview 6 allows me to start a debug session. However if I just want to download the a binary without debugging (ctrl +F5), I get the following message.

Programming EmbeddedProject7 into your device…
VisualGDB: Executing predebug actions
Build/launch failed: Cannot create a scoped progress reporter outside the gdb session start context
Press any key…

Can you please help me with just downloading firmware without debugging.
