OpenOCD terminates

I am running OpenOCD through Eclipse on an STM32F103VD via an ARM_USB_OCD_H Jtag. When I open it all works well and this is the console output:

  • Open On-Chip Debugger 0.6.0-dev-00448-gc59a441 (2012-02-29-17:05)

  • However, when I attempt to start a debug session this is appended to the console output, and OpenOCD terminates:

  • Info : accepting 'gdb' connection from 3333

    Info : device id = 0x10036414

    Info : flash size = 0kbytes

    Assertion failed!

    Expression: num_pages > 0

    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

    Please contact the application’s support team for more information.


  • The problem appears to be that OpenOCD has decided that the device has no flash so aborts.

    The setup has worked successfully for a long time, and I am not aware of any changes to cause the problem. I have tried different target boards, running on different PC’s and swapping Jtag dongles to no effect.

    Can anyone suggest what is happening?
