 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

As a last resort, I did a RTFM To do the second part, you need to navigate to the rules folder in the STM installation first. It worked for me but I will not be silly enough to say it will for you. You must be the first on TBS to try and run CubeProgrammer on Linux. Jim Edited 2021-12-14 11:20 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |

I thought it would be simple to run Cube on Linux, simply cos there was a Linux version on the ST website.  I STILL have not ever received any forum confirmation email, so I can't seem to join the ST forums and ask there, if I never get the confirmation email. Yes, I did check my spam and junk folders. I keep them empty just about every day, but there was nothing in there either. Oh well. I will try out what you quoted, and yes - I probably should have RTFM myself, but I thought it would be easy to get going if the application installed OK.  Smoke makes things work.

I went to try this now, and on BOTH monitors of Mint, the taskbar and "Start menu" are now invisible. I don't know why - they were there last night. Forced a full reboot, but now I don't have any menu bar thing at the bottom of EITHER screen as you would normally expect. This means I cannot run anything other then what is iconized on the desktop. That also means I cannot call up the console, as I need the menus to do that. I've switched back to my Windoze Ten machine for now so I can post this, but does anyone know how I can restore the missing start-menu/taskbar thingy? Once I get that back, I can try Jim suggested quote. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

ctrl_alt-T will open a terminal for you. Not sure what you can do about the missing taskbar. I still haven't worked out what flavour of Mint you are running. The 'windows' key opens the start menu. Jim Edited 2021-12-14 16:44 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |

Sorry for not mentioning it before.  Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

If you can't find it through the start menus (Windows key), I did find this one to run in a terminal: gsettings reset-recursively org.cinnamon while you are in the terminal enter: inxi -Sz and tell us what it gives. VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim - thanks for your persistence. CTRL+ALT+T - this DOES open a terminal, so now I have that.  'Windows' key DOES NOT bring up 'Start menu' for me. There is simply no effect at all. But now I have the terminal, I can proceed. Stay tuned. @ Jim: Much love.   I have the taskbar/menu thing back now. I wonder what the hell went on there? (rhetorical)  Now, the next bit....

It would make sense for ST's tool to put up a prominent message about needing udev rule(s). (I do have a similar rule but TBH forget how many years ago I put it there.) On the taskbar, mine can be slid off (& back on) to allow more free screen area. I'm not on Mint but maybe it's similar? John |

No co-operation.  I give up at this point. Might not really be that much of an issue. I get the vibe that the latest PicoMite firmwares are going to support basic colour VGA now, so the Black Pill module port might be getting aborted. I'm waiting for Peter to confirm that, but it would not surprise me. I CAN copy updated firmware files fine to the PicoMite as it shows up as a small flash-drive, and Mint handles that just fine. Won't help for the CMM2, but it's gonna be months before I can get more chips, so we might have worked it out by then - who knows! Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

hi grogster, have you done BOTH of: echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="df11", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/45-stdfu-permissions.rules > /dev/null (as a single line), AND: sudo adduser $USER plugdev just cut (from this message) and paste each of the lines into a command terminal. both are CASE SENSITIVE, and both will prompt for your password. the purpose of the first line is to create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/45-stdfu-permissions.rules containing the one line of text: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="df11", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev" this allows access to the VDI/PID 0483:df11. cheers, rob :-) |

Remind me not to ask you to test MMEdit for Linux! To fix your latest problem, I would go to my Update Manager and change the Software Sources. You can change them and then change them back if you like. That 'might' cause the files to get rewritten. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

WORKING!!!! Rob's commands made things work.  ...and then - YAY!   Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Good to see. The second part of the STM instructions would have copied this to the rules: SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="df11", GROUP="users", MODE="0666" It also does similar for STlink connections. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

am pleased to hear things worked out  would a few of you who have (one or more) boards that use the USB DFU protocol, and who are running any variety of linux, care to possible carry out the following experiment for each device and post the results here: 1. open a command window 2. type dmesg -w 3. press the 'enter' key on your keyboard a few times to clear some blank lines in the window 4. plug in the USB DFU device 5. press the 'enter' key 6. unplug the USB DFU device 7. select and copy the resulting messages, and post them here 8. when finished, press ctrl-C (or just close the window) to end dmesg you should see output something like: [1036476.046831] usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 33 using ehci-pci [1036476.161027] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60, bcdDevice= 1.00 [1036476.161037] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [1036476.161040] usb 2-1.2: Product: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller [1036476.161043] usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs [1036476.161045] usb 2-1.2: SerialNumber: 0001 [1036476.161908] cp210x 2-1.2:1.0: cp210x converter detected [1036476.166374] usb 2-1.2: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [1036481.713467] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 33 [1036481.713691] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [1036481.713715] cp210x 2-1.2:1.0: device disconnected with this information, i can likely create a GUI program that will create the necessary udev file entries, as well as perform the adduser. it will do something like: a. prompt you to plug in the USB DFU device b. detect the VID/PID in the dmesg output and ask if you'd like the necessary rule created c. if OK'ed, append the necessary line to the end of the .rules file and add the current user to the plugdev group cheers, rob :-) |

Rob - just DFU things? Won't they all be 483 ... df11? John |
||||
| robert.rozee Guru Joined: 31/12/2012 Location: New ZealandPosts: 2442 |
well, the vendor id 0x0483 belongs (exclusively) to ST Micros, does any other manufacturer produce devices that are USB DFU? also the PID 0xDF11 seems to also be used by ST Micros for "Digital Radio in USB mode". so, i don't know the answer. i've not dealt with USB DFU devices before, and do not have any myself. cheers, rob :-) |

I've plenty but all look to be STM and so 483:df11 (I normally log dmesg strings when I first connect a device.) John |
