Error in initializing ST-Link device. Reason: ST-Link DLL error - stm32

I'm trying to run one of the sample projects from Atollic's Getting Started Youtube tutorial. At the debugging stage, the captioned error shows up. I'm at a loss since my board is connected and the video doesn't mention anything about the hardware configurations.

Met the same error, though I'm using a different board (NUCLEO-L452RE). Solved this problem by clicking "ST-Link Update" in "Help" in STM32CubeIDE.

"No ST-LINK detected" error message, when trying to connect with ST-LINK Utility

I have a
NUCLEO-F401RE board
(with STM32F401RE)
and it has been working fine for the most part. Here recently, I followed a tutorial in the book
"Mastering STM32"
where it says to install
OpenOCD.
I had been following along before this as well, and I had been able to connect to my board and flashing it with no problem.
After attempting to get OpenOCD to work though, this is no longer possible. Every time I try to connect to my board, I simply get the following error message:
No ST-LINK detected
I have tried updating the drivers multiple times, rebooting the board, reinstalling the ST-LINK Utility, switching the USB-Cable, resetting the board and reinstalling everything and I have also tried the trick where you hold down the reset button and try to erase the chip.
So far, none of this has worked for me unfortunately.
Here you find a picture of my board.
On my desktop, I am using Windows 10. On my board, and I am using FreeRTOS.
Here you find an image of my Windows Device Manager.
I have also tried to update the firmware on my board using the ST-Link upgrade, but without luck. When attempting this, I either do not have the option to select my device (when using the .jar app) or when using the .exe app, I just get the following error messages:
No ST-Link device detected
Please connect it and then retry
I have not been able to find a solution for this anywhere, so I hope you guys can help! If you need any further relevant information, just let me know. Thank you very much.
As mentioned in other answers, the problem is almost certainly due to a competing driver (something like libusb) taking control of the device.
However, you do not need to "uninstall and reinstall everything" to select the correct driver, assuming that you have already installed it once before. Moreover, the reinstallation procedure most likely won't help, because the uninstallers usually do not uninstall the drivers anyway, and Windows will keep prefering the same wrong driver.
Instead, open Device Manager, find your STM32 STLink device, double-click to open the Properties dialog. Then click "Update Driver", then "Browse my computer for driver software", then "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", and you should see something like that:
You see that in this example, at least four different drivers available on the system are happy to service the device. The first two are generic libusb drivers, not specific to the dongle (OpenOCD is happy to use either of those, if I remember correctly). The ST-Link utility, however, wants a dedicated driver, developed by STM - those are the two entries below on my picture. If you do not see those, try installing the ST-Link utility again (no need to uninstall anything) or download just the driver from the STM website.
You can now click on the preferred driver in this list and have it replace whatever driver was assigned to the device before.
From my poor experience the "No ST-LINK detected" message in the STM32 Utility shows when you are disconnected or when other program is using a ST-LINK. So, if this start happens after installing OpenOCD try to uninstall this and try again (maybe with option "Connect under reset"?).
For your information. When you plug the cable to the PC and the board is power on then in the settings (STM32 Utility) you can see available ST-Links (even blocked). Here is example when ST-Link is blocked
From what I have learned and understood (but everyone can correct me :)), your board is divided in two parts :
The ST-Link debugger part ;
The rest with the actual microcontroller.
The ST-Link part is used to flash the microcontroller and can be used to flash any other STM32F4 device through SWD. With your picture :
The STM32 ST-Link Utility uses the ST-Link part of your board to flash it. My point is that if you have the "No ST-Link detected", the issue, I am quite sure, doesn't come from the microcontroller part but comes from the ST-Link part. And since you did say that it worked before you install openocd, I would suggest the driver part in W10 that may be the root of your problems.
Try to uninstall everything (and I mean everything) related to the STM32 (openocd, STM32 ST-Link Utility and its driver through Device Manager).
Reinstall only STM32 ST-Link utility (if you did uninstall the drivers correctly, it should ask you the permission to install the drivers during set up) and try to connect your board.
You can also try to remove the SWD jumpers (connector CN2) on your board to detach the ST-Link from the built-in microcontroller part. Since the ST-Link part is independent it will still be detected by the STM32 ST-Link Utility (but you will have to put the jumpers back if you want to actually program your microcontroller).
Just ran into this. The problem boiled down to using nucleo boards and trying to interface with them using older versions of ST-LINK (ST's search for ST-Link's first hit led me to stsw-link0004, which was not installing the right drivers). Why they don't point you to the latest greatest first, who knows.
Whenever I tried to install drivers, I could only select USB Composite device as a compatible driver, despite repeatedly uninstalling/reinstalling stlink0004.
You need to install the newest st-link e.g. stsw-link0009 (or newer).
Uninstall device (device manager had it under USB Composite Device)
Uninstall ST-LINK
Disconnect nucleo.
Reboot.
Install ST-link (stsw-link0009)
The prompt should have you install 3+ drivers. Not just 2.
Plug in. Voila.

Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found

I've read every StackOverflow that I could find on this issue, but I still can't work it out.
I'm trying to deploy an app to actual device (NOT emulator). But I receive the following error when i try to build:
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device '30F105C9-681E-420b-A277-7C086EAD8A4E'.':
SEHException - External component has thrown an exception. App1
and
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found. App1
It's worth mentioning that I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It's also worth mentioning that my computer was missing the IpOverUsbSvc.exe (not just the registry post, but the actual service was missing). Couldn't find any way to get this back so, so my colleague sent over the .exe and the DLLs and I placed it in it's location. And the service is now running and no longer gives any errors. My device is recognized by the PC, it's running Windows 10 Mobile (but I've also tried with a device running Windows 8.1).
Specs on PC:
Windows 10 Pro (Build 10240)
Using Visual Studio 2015
UWP Tools
Any suggestions to fix my nightmare? Thanks!
Steps that helped me. I have windows 10 mobile build 10581 (and now 10586) installed on phone
Turn off Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Error.
Turn on Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Working.
If you change another device or re-connect you must close VS2015, re-launch and do again!
Finally managed to find a solution to this illusive bug.
It seems that if I didn't have the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools installed I couldn't build to an ARM device (not even Windows 10 Mobile).
So my step to solve this was:
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visual Studio ... 2015 -> Modify. And then select the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools.
Pretty pissed that one can't get a reasonable error message when things like this is missing.
I had this issue after updating my device to win10 ver:10.0.10581.0. I tried many things but finally after installing latest sdk and emulators i got it working. You may try installing from this page sdk and emulator:
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-developer-preview
Somehow the new emulators were not visible in vs, they got visible after few restarts and then on device debugging started to work.
But one problem still remain from me that vs crashes after ending debug session with device.
desktop-->my computer--> right click--> management--> service--> start the service Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) although maybe the starttype is set as automatic
Seems like there are many issues causing the same error message.
This one worked for me Windows Phone deploy Issue
Essentially you need to remove/uninstall the device from Windows. Then after unplugging and plugging back in, the device and drivers are reinstalled.
I tried many of the suggested solutions to no avail.
After changing the USB-C cable from a USB 3.1 port to a USB 2.0 port on my computer, the error goes away. YMMV
I see it is quite an old post...but I still get this problem. In my case, this happened after I deployed to a second phone I had for testing. After that, VS 2017 now only wants to deploy to that phone and not to the other phone no more. If I start another project, the other phone is recognized and deployable to (listed as device under debug).
Restarting system fixes this...
Also, if I add another project as reference (like a background task) to my project, I will loose the ability to select the devices and emulators under debug. VS 2017 simply then seems to deploy to the last device selected...(really no clue what this is). I have not been able to get the selection of emulators and devices back yet on this one. I only will have the "Start" and "Download new emulators" options. I think this has to do with the fact that VS maybe doesn't know the type (like arm/86/64) of the reference project because it is not set (not needed as this defies the purpose of referencing a project for dynamic references and not the compiled device specific file...)
Hope it helps someone ....
I uninstalled the existing version of the app in device and re-ran it and it worked for me
I got that error for a really simple reason...just opened a new solution I downloaded from GitHub, pressed F5, and got it!
I had left my build configuration in the default "Debug - ARM" setting, when I changed to "Debug - x64" it worked fine!
(Just adding another reason for completeness, not likely to affect your case!)
In case it's helpful for others... I got: DEP6701 bootstrapping failed ... access denied.
Thanks to comments here, I only dev-locked then dev-unlocked my phone (was originally dev-unlocked). Totally works now (took some time installing missing frameworks at first). All good.
Thanks
One more thing could be tried.
Uninstall the existing app if any and then deploy from Visual Studio.
Try on another usb port. It worked

Error while install application in my device

I got error when I goes to install my application in iPhone/iPad.
Application running properly in simulator.
Error message
Couldn't register com.spaceo.pushnotificationtest with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.
This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger
Okay your device was struck in debug mode on your previous installation due to some error. You need to restart your device and clean the project in xcode to install application in your device
This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger This statement clearly states what was the error so restart your device and try again
I also get this error, restarting my device solves the problem.

Bootstrap server error when running app on Device in Xcode4

Couldn't register taxsmart.MapTest with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.
This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger
I get this Error when I try to install my app on my Device.
I already tried restarting Mac and device.
Also tried cleaning the app and re-building. But did not work for me.
Also I tried refering to this link but didn't help me.
Bootstrap Server Error in Xcode IPHONE
What can be done?
I restarted my Mac and my device and it worked.
You didn't mention specifically, so I'll ask: Have you tried manually deleting the application from the device? Tap and hold its icon. When they begin to wiggle, hit the x in the upper-left of the icon and confirm deletion.

Visual Studio/WPConnect Unable to Connect to WP7 Device

For some reason, I'm no longer able to connect and deploy to my wp7 device. Zune does not show the phone as being connected, despite the fact that it is connected and the phone shows that it's being charged ... and the wpconnect tool gives the following error:
Failed to connect to the device.
Ensure that the device is completely
booted and is connected to the PC.
(0x80070103)
I rebooted the phone, and I've deployed to it before, so it's definitely developer unlocked. I verified that my computer has internet access. Any other troubleshooting thoughts?
Hey, I run into this all the time. Simply restart your phone and connect again. Make sure you plug in and unplug the phone several times, waiting at least a minute if it doesn't work.
In short, it's temperamental, Keep trying.
Make sure that you have switched off WiFi and Bluetooth on your phone.
I have found that I cannot deploy when Wifi and Bluetooth are switched on - even though Zune is syncing music and other content in the usual fashion. The error messages are frustratingly unhelpful!
As a short term workaround try using the Application Deployment utility to deploy the xap file.
I had the same issue. When I changed the Project properties target OS to 7.1 it worked.
I had the same issue. Only restoring to the previous OS version helped me.
Also I would that it usually happens when internet sharing is turned on.
I think I finally found the problem!
When I had this problem a few days ago, I had been charging my phone (Lumia 900) using a faulty charger which keeps on getting disconnected. And now that I've changed the cable and charger, it started working again!
I had the same problem with my previous phone as well (HTC Mozart), and I had a bad cable back then, but never made the connection (geddit?) between the problem and the cable...
My theory is that when the phone is running on bad power supply/not getting enough power, it sets a flag in the registry, which throws that error.
Also, bizarrely I just found that if you have internet sharing turned on then it won't let you connect.
Any of above mentioned did not work for me. I had many different error messages (included the 0x80070103)
What did is this:
Go to https://dev.windowsphone.com, uregister your phone.
Launch registration tool ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration\PhoneReg.exe")
Unregister in tool from 2) too (if it is showing still as
registered).
Now disconnect phone and connect it again
Register phone in tool from 2)
