Break at address "0xXXXXXX" with no debug information available, or outside of program code

1

Configuration:

Using Nucleo-L476RG. Using GNU ARM Eclipse. I have generated a minimalist code from STM32CubeMX. I have flashed J-link driver in my on board ST-Link.

Have been trying to run debugger for my code but my program counter is not setting at main().Instead it fails to read a certain memory address. The error "Break at address "0xXXXXXXXX" with no debug information available, or outside of program code." appears.

I've included the screenshot and debugger log in which we can see the error.

Please help

I encountered the same issue when using j-link to debug my Board(STM32F407ZG), after changing the startup_stm32f407xx.s into startup_stm32f407xx.S(with uppercase 's' ), the problem disappeared. The reason might be gcc handles .s and .S in different ways

Change your startup_xx.s file suffix to uppercase.
