CuteMXIDE does not work with GD32-H405 boards :-(

[sailorXY]

Dear Olimex Team,

the STM32F405RG processors seems not to be deliverable - so we decided to buy the board GD32-H405 boards with the clone processor from GlobalDevice.

Unfortunately the CuteMXIDE are not working with the China-Processor. When trying to flash it (with SEGGER J-Link), the IDE gives the following error pop-up:

"Could not verify ST device!"   


The GDB log is the following:

The SEGGER tooling knows the GD32F405RG processor - so it seems to be a CuteMXIDE issue not to accept clone processors?

Any idea how to flash/debug the GD32F405RG clones?

thanks in advance for your support...

Sure CubeMX IDE doesn't support GD32 chips. GD32 chips are not made by STM and there is no way STM would support them within their own software...

GD32 chips are supported by IAR EW, by the OpenOCD community, and others.

Ok - thank you for clarification.

Would be cool to explicitely mention this fact at your product page of the GD32-H405 board.

So I try IAR EW - together with my J-Link JTAG dongle...

I will add a notice.
