right now I am trying to program on the STM32G0-Disco-board with the program stm32cubeide on WIN10. This worked fine until it didn't. My problem right now is that I can't debug/run it anymore. This is the first day I used this program, which doesn't mean it didn't worked at the beginning. Building, Debugging and Running worked just fine. But now I get this error message:

Error in final launch sequence:

Failed to start GDB server
Failed to start GDB server
Error in initializing ST-LINK device.
Reason: (4) No device found on target.

I already tried multiple usb-ports, the jumper on the board. I even looked in this Batchfile: C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.3.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.3.0.202002181050\tools\bin ST_LINK_gdbserver because it was mentioned in other threads and i just got this:

ERROR: Couldn't locate STM32CubeProgrammer in '..\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\', use -cp GDB server exited. And oh yeah i already looked into the device manager and everything looks good to me.

Help is much appreciated!

I had the same problem and i managed to solve it . It turns out that my antivirus software (avast) was preventing the debugger from starting by removing the file ST_LINK_gdb.exe from its place and putting it in the antivirus chest.enter image description here

The solution was to open the virus chest and and restore the file and also add an exception. And this solved the problem.enter image description here
