Debugger does not start with ST-LINK and GIGA #2299

dav322 · 2023-11-30T21:33:33Z

Describe the problem

when I try to start debugger I get request 2 canceled on connection close
does not start debugger.

I can upload the sketch and it runs to output the position. I have not tested my sketch with encoders attached yet.

To reproduce

connect stlink v3 to arduino giga with ribbon cable. connect both to pc
open arduino ide. click on start debugging
I have attached the sketch
sketch_nov17a.zip

Expected behavior

I expected the debugger to start and then stop at the breakpoint I set on the first line of the setup routine.

Arduino IDE version

nightly build 11-30-23

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

windows 11

Additional context

probably not required

Issue checklist

I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
My report contains all necessary details

Thanks for reporting this issue.

connect stlink

I saw some internal documentation that it won't work. @umbynos, can you please help tell users what is (and will be (#2281)) supported? Thank you!

umbynos · 2023-12-11T15:52:12Z

Hello @dav322.
Debugger support has been added in mbed core v4.0.10 but debugging leverage some features that are not available in the IDE2 yet. Debugging the Giga with the stlink will be a supported use case.

dav322 · 2023-12-12T17:04:59Z

I would be happy using any debugger. Without debugging I can't use arduino ide. It is absolutely a requirement for a real development environment. I am already using 4.0.10 and it does not work.

kittaakos · 2023-12-14T16:51:08Z

I am already using 4.0.10 and it does not work.

Please try with the nightly build and let us know if it's still the same: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/#nightly-builds
We made some debugger changes (73b6dc4)

connect stlink v3 to arduino giga with ribbon cable.

Unfortunately, I do not have the hardware to try it out.

dav322 · 2023-12-14T21:46:19Z

to verify it is connected I clicked on tools -> get board info and it displayed

running this sketch

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.println("Hello world");
  delay(1000);
}

I can upload the sketch using the upload button and it displays following on monitor

Hello world
Hello world
Hello world
Hello world
...

When I set a breakpoint on Serial.begin line and click on start debugging I get following lines in gdb-server tab

To verify the stlink / giga is working I started an empty project with STM32CUBEIDE.
Program loaded and stopped at first line of main

to make it run again with arduino ide I run this command after putting giga in boot mode.

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\dfu-util\0.10.0-arduino1\dfu-util" --device ,0x0483:0xdf11 -D "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\mbed_giga\4.0.10\bootloaders\GIGA\bootloader.bin" -a0 --dfuse-address=0x8000000

a 2nd try had these log files showing it stopped. Clicking on step seemed to step into routines and follow code as expected.

It seems it could be a problem related to an old bootloader, could you please try to update it? https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/7991505977116-Burn-the-bootloader-on-GIGA-R1-WiFi
