STM32F429I-DISC1 changed to obsolete RIGHT NOW -> how to work?

I just wanted to create a new project for the board ( last project I created about 24 hours ago, was still working ). That caused an update to run, the device is now obsolete, and I can't create projects, get the error: The target device 'STM32F429I-DISC1' is currently not supported by STM32CubeIDE according 'Obsolete' marketing status

As of now, the status on https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/32f429idiscovery.html is still ACTIVE. What is that, and how can it be fixed urgently?

Dear community members

The issue that many of you have faced and reported here these last 2 days, where our boards were marked as "obsolete" in STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE has been solved.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes it works

Delete  .stmcufinder directory and start without internet

The activation status is in boards.json....taking a backup of that file when in clean state should do the trick...whenever create a new project just restore your healthy copy again.

Just in case it helps someone, I just faced the same problem and solved it by editing the boards.json file (in .stmcufinder/plugins/mcufinder/mcu), changing the "marketingStatus" of my board from "Obsole" to "Active".

I just tried it now and it worked, my board apears as active and I can create the project.

Happy coding : )
