Debuging of STM32 does not work since update [message #1709904]

Hello,

I use eclipse for programming with STM32 controllers. I have installed cdt and the arm plugin. All worked fine since I made a update. Now I cannot debug anymore.
I get this message when I want to program and debug the controller:

Error in final launch sequence
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".

What is the problem?
When I use the terminal with openocd and gdb it works fine.

Here a foto of my configurations:

To use OpenOCD on the same computer, GDB needs a command:

target remote :3333

to use OpenOCD. You may miss it. Look at the 'Debug Configurations'.

Where I have to input this command?

Not sure if this would be helpful but there is a plugin specifically for debugging OpenOCD at http://gnuarmeclipse.github.io/debug/openocd/
You may want to look into it.

Open Eclipse, Help, Help Content, C/C++ Development User Guide, Getting Started, Debugging Projects.

There is more in the Reference part of the guide.

I use this plugin. I had some start commands for the gdb but I don't remember me.

I did that in the terminal:

1. Terminal: openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/st_nucleo_f4.cfg
2. Terminal: arm-none-eabi-gdb workspace/STM32I2C/Debug/STM32I2C.elf
tar ext :3333
monitor reset halt
load
monitor reset init
thbreak main
continue
It works fine. I can make breakpoint, stepping .... how I can do that in eclipse?

You have to make a debug configuration from the 'Run' 'Debug Configurations'.
There are pages for setting the GDB commands.

Please read the manual part on creating the debug configuration. There is little sense that I'd copy the help pages here.

If I were you, I'd create an openocd.cfg file in the working directory, either by making a symlink to the configuration or by greating a configuration file which sources your configuration file from the crooked path.
