STM32cubeIDE keeps crashing?

Hi, You might have to be a bit more specific what you are doing and not just discard a piece of software straight away.

I have used the latest version in Windows 10 with CubeMX open as a tab using STM32F405. I was going forth and back between CubeMX, generating code, building, downloading and debugging (J-Link EDU) without it crashing the whole day. The HAL modules used where SPI half duplex, ADC-DMA, Timer PWM, Timer IC.

If you can give us more information maybe somebody can look into it.

it happens when I'm debugging and im clicking through each line step by step, I've got a watch on some variable and I click on that variable because I find it useful to see the binary display like 001101101 and it regularly crashes - i've had to reload the program 5 times in the last 30 minutes. It may happen in other contexts, but this that's what im doing at the moment.

I don't usually have a problem with the learning curve of software, but this is happening so often that it's pretty much unusable

Hi PGoul,

This looks like a JRE crash.

Could you share your hs_err*.log files normally placed in the STM32CubeIDE install location?

Otherwise restart STM32CubeIDE using stm32cubeidec.exe instead of the standard launcher. This may also provide more useful details about the crash.

it seems i can only upload one at a time, if you need more let me know

Seems like a known issue in Eclipse/SWT related to RDP usage:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=543747

To confirm:

Are you using the "Remote Desktop Connection" to connect on the Windows 10 running STM32CubeIDE?

Or do you switch between Windows sessions before the crash happened?

Windows published a KB containing some fixes for that library (msctf.dll):

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4517211/windows-10-update-kb4517211

• Addresses an issue with MSCTF.dll that causes an application to stop working.

Anyway for some users the problem persists even with this patch...
