  • [SOLVED] Flasher STM8 Cannot connect to Emulator (Unknown firmware string)

    Hi,

    I'm trying to use Flasher STM8 V1.40 in combination with Flasher PRO. When trying to connect to the target flasher I get the following error messages (as popups):

    "Unknown firmware string: J-Link / Flasher PRO V5-1 compiled Jan 23 2023 11:02:51"


    followed by:
    "Could not read emulator capabilities. Could not read hardware status! Failed to connect"


    So what I'm gathering is that either that Flasher STM8 only supports older FW-Versions or that there's a bug while parsing the current FW-Version?

    Source Code

    1. Connecting ...
    2. - Connecting via USB to Emulator device 0
    3. - ERROR: Could not read emulator capabilities.
    4. - ERROR: Could not read hardware status!
    5. - Initializing CPU core (Init sequence) ...
    6. - ERROR: Failed to connect

    What I've tried:
    - ReConnecting the flasher
    - Re-Installing Flasher STM8

    With this software package?




    If yes, these are not compatible to each other.
    For the Flasher PRO this is the correct package:
