System Workbench for STM32

After a lot of reading I wonder if the following might help:
Maybe I can avoid the error message "Error finishing flash operation " if I can skip the flash load operation as a workaround?
At least the code loads and runs fine when I use the ST-LINK utility only. However, I cannot find the load step in any of the *.cfg files.
I believe that I can ignore the "Error: address + size wrapped(0xfffffffe, 0x00000004) " message.
Not sure if the "Error: TRST/SRST error" is an issue. Eventually GDB seems to be able to halt the CPU.
Any help is much appreciated.
