Hi it is I’m once more
Yet another bug.
I install SystemWorkbench on linux (Debian 8 64-bit).
Test project (with StdPeriph) was compiled well. But when I try to download binary to board and debud, I got message:
===
Error in final launch sequence
Failed to execute MI command:
-target-select remote localhost:3333

Error message from debugger back end:
localhost:3333: Время ожидания соединения истекло.
localhost:3333: Время ожидания соединения истекло.
===

Red/green LED near mini-usb slot (it shows wether board connected) not blinks and lights with red only. I tried different settings, but result was the same

Finally I install and config GNU ARM C/C++ OpenOCD Debugging from http://gnuarmeclipse.sourceforge.net/updates, as describes in http://ctrl-v.biz/blog/8 (sorry, article in Russian language). With OpenOCD Debugging debugger works well.

In this way I have:
1) Project for STMF407-DISCOVERY automatically creates wit all necessary external dependences and settings (configuring procedure in http://ctrl-v.biz/blog/8 very-very awful )
2) Project builds without errors
3) Project downloads to board
4) Project executes under debugger.

But at first I use another debugging plugin (GNU ARM C/C++ OpenOCD Debugging), and at second, I still cannot build project with Windows version.

Can somebody help ?

Hi again !
Noboby want answer me But I find the next bug:
File startup_stm32.s which SystemWorkbench places into StdPeriph projects is incorrect. It contains only basic, minimal interrupt handlers table. And if your program uses interrupts, it gets exception UsageFault_Handler. Correct startup file with all defined interrupt handlers startup_stm32f4xx.s is in ./STMF407-DISCOVERY/STM32F4-Discovery_FW_V1.1.0/Libraries/CMSIS/ST/STM32F4xx/Source/Templates/gcc_ride7 in standart library from ST.

Now the most interest. I try to find file named “startup_stm32.s” in ~/.ac6/SW4STM32/firmwares (linux distribution), to change by hand it content to correct one. And I can not find it !!! But I find there folder ./SW4STM32/firmwares/STM32F4xx_DSP_StdPeriph_Lib_V1.6.1/Libraries/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32F4xx/Source/Templates/gcc_ride7 which contains correct startup file startup_stm32f40xx.s !

So help me please, what must I do, to make SystemWorkbench to place correct startup to project automatically ? Of course I can do it by hand. But it is better when IDE do it itself.

P.S. Despite of many bugs (how many them I’ll find in future ! ) great thank for developers ! SystemWorkbench is the only free software, which I make to work without many troubles (under linux. I still cannot do it for windows). Now I use also Atollic TrueStudio (windows), but it is not free.
