Hi,

I have been using MTB 2.1 for my project. However, during software development, quite often I often encounter the tool unable to detect the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board while trying to download the image.https://snaptube.cam/ https://9apps.cam/

Disconnecting the target and rebooting the PC seems to recover it.

Is there any workaround without rebooting my PC?

Thanks.

Can you please let me know the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

I was able to observe this only when there was already a debug session running. Please check the Debug tab for any stale sessions and clear them as shown below:

When the error occurs can you check how the KitProg3 is enumerating in the device manager? Please provide a screenshot of the same.

Also, let us know which OS you are using.

Hi,

I have experienced similar situation with gdb when it fails to attach or connect to the target,

although the tool was not ModusToolbox. (I think that it was ARM DS-5)

At that time, all I needed was to terminate the remaining gdb related tasks from Windows Task Manager.

I don't know if this works for MTB, but I hope that it's worth trying.

BTW, about the title of the question, may be off the point though,

I could find gdb in <MTB Install Folder>\tools_2.1\gcc-7.2.1\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe

And starting it from the "command prompt" showed me the version.
