Cannot debug project imported from CubeMX
I am using:
Nucleo-F303
Windows 10
Ac6/Eclipse Mars (4.5.2)
Java 8 Update 91
CubeMX verstion 4.15.1
I am getting an error “java.lang.NullPointerException” when I try to create a new Ac6 debug configuration. I have imported the project per the instruction guide here
. And I am able to get the project to compile and upload with ST-Link Utility. But I cannot get the debug working.
(When I create a new project in Ac6 using the peripheral library, I am able to get blinky projects to compile and flashed to the nucleo. I am also able to debug but OpenOCD I am also having trouble with OpenOCD giving me lib_usb_error failed to open. Not sure if that is relevant but that is probably for a different topic)

Here is the error log:

--------------------
I am not really sure what to do about this. Every time I start a new debug configuration I get the error message and I can change the configuration but it never saves.
I can debug projects created within Ac6 and I can upload files/talk to the board through the ST-Link utility so it’s not a communication problem. Seems to be a problem with Ac6....
Some people have suggested that the board id in the XML file should be in double quotes. But that is for CubeMX versions 4.9 and 4.10. And, I have checked that and it is indeed in double quotes. I’m all out of ideas and pretty frustrated that this isn’t working. Anyone have any ideas???
