unable to start Debug on Nucleo-144 (GDB error 0x1)

Hi,

I recently tried to evaluate Nucleo-L496ZG and tried to debug (Blinky), but it seems to fail to enter debug as I get an error as seen from the picture.
Any Ideas on how to deal with this?


Code
Select All
Starting: "C:\ProgramData\vmicro\tools\openocd-0.10.0.20200213\bin/openocd.exe" -d2 -l ebug/Blink.ino_DebugOpenOCD.log}" -s "C:\ProgramData\vmicro\tools\openocd-0.10.0.20200213/scripts/" -f "interface/stlink.cfg" -f "target/stm32l4x.cfg" -c "init; reset halt"
Starting: m-none-eabi-gcc\10.3.1-2.3/bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe" --interpreter=mi
"C:\ProgramData\vmicro\tools\openocd-0.10.0.20200213\bin/openocd.exe" exited with code 1 (0x1).
 




and this is Debug output:

Thanks for the report, so we can investigate further could you attach the full build output with the options shown at the top of the page?

Also please attach the below file:
Code
Select All
ug/Blink.ino_DebugOpenOCD.log 



Can you also confirm if it did attach and work when getting the output shown in the Debug window, but then failed to attach again afterwards? Or has it never attached?

Also I noticed that despite I have put it into board.txt, I cannot override debugger version.

Thanks for the log file, and it doesn't really expand on the "no connection" error sadly.

Are you trying to use a different version of GDB and/or OpenOCD?

If you can attach the full build output requested, with the settings shown at the top of the page, and the local board.txt file you have in your project we will be able to assist more easily.

Yes, there were several tryouts made with different settings. Here are the files and logs from the latest one:

Thanks for the files, I can't see the full output from performing a build in Visual Micro which will help us replicate using the exact same configuration and board packages.

Can you confirm you have connected the CN4 Jumpers indicated in section 5.4.3 of the user manual?
https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/um2179-stm32-nucleo144-boards-mb1312-...

Can you also confirm whether you have changed the LED Output pin in your sketch for this board?

I assume everything is set OK, as I can use debug within STM32CubeIDE.

Regarding full build output - shall I log it in some different way?

Thanks for the update.

Can you clarify if this is a new version of the Arduino IDE, or if you updated the STM32 board package?

In fact it seems it was not related to Arduino update (board package was anyway always ver 2.3.0), but USB support option. If enabled, debug error pops out, If disabled (set to None or set to HID), debugging works. 
Is this maybe a known limitation?
