About debugging STM32F103C8T6 with STLink

[CJT1111]

Hello, I use STLink SWDIO and SWCLK link F103C8T6, then click Debug,

Then the following fault is reported, at this time there is no problem in selecting SWD download, but it cannot be debugged, what should I do?
Failed to launch GDB: Error erasing flash with vFlashErase packet (from target-download)

Hi @CJT1111
is it a legacy STM32F103?
Did you enable the "optimize for debugging" in the menu?

On my side it works as expected.

[CJT1111]

[fpistm]

And the optimize for debug in the sketch menu?

[CJT1111]

[fpistm]

Maybe, edit the stm32f1x.cfg in the xpack open ocd folder and try to remove the reset_config srst_nogate

[CJT1111]

[fpistm]

No in packages/STMicroelectronics/tools/xpack-openocd/0.12.0-3/openocd/scripts/target

[fpistm]

OK. so try to connect the reset signal.
After that I have no more idea except your mcu is not a legacy but a clone.

[CJT1111]

I switched to stlink to experiment, the chip is genuine, because it can even debug under cubeIDE

[CJT1111]

This stlink is a clone
