OpenOCD fails to connect to STM32F4Discovery using STLINK-V2

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi!

I have been using OpenOCD previously to connect and debug my STM32F4Discovery but after a reinstall of the computer I cannot get it to work and I have no idea what is wrong.

Usually I just install the driver via the ST-LINK Utility and OpenOCD works, but not this time.

I am using Windows 7 x64 and OpenOCD 0.7.0.

When I run the command openocd-0.7.0.exe -f …\scripts\board\stm32f4discovery.cfg I get the cryptic error:

srst_only separate srst_nogate srst_open_drain connect_deassert_srst
Info : This adapter doesn't support configurable speed
Error: open failed
in procedure 'transport'
in procedure 'init'

And if I use the debug command:

However this is the correct VID and PID. And I have no idea of what goes wrong.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Looks like a driver issue or (silly thought) usb cable in the wrong connector …

Check vid/pid’s of all attached devices

I have double checked all USB devices and no collisions in VID/PID and OpenOCD tries to connect to the correct VID/PID.

Also I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers a few times, still no change.

The funny thing is that the ST-LINK Utility can talk to the programmer without a problem… :think:

Any more ideas?

Never had any success using a stlink v2 to talk to the stm32f1x target.

using openocd-0.x.x.exe -f interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f target/stm32f1x_stlink.cfg

version 0.6.1 error:

libusbx: warning [init_device] could not get node connection information for device ‘\.\USB#VID_0483&PID_3748#6&1505871C&0&4’: [87] The parameter is incorrect.

version 0.7.0 error:

Info : This adapter doesn’t support configurable speed

hundred other combinations of openocd config files and online-forum suggestions yielded no result.

Tried ST-Utility driver as well as winusb and libusb drivers.

atollic gdbserver seems to be only thing that works with stlink v2. But unfortunately they pulled out free gdbserver support. You’d need to use their GUI to make it work.
