I am having the same problem too. I can't get the blink program to work on this board on Linux. The firmware on the board has been updatd to the latest version (using the st-link program on Windows 7).
I'm going to upload the bin file from Windows 7 and see if it still has problem.
Update 1:
This also happens when uploading bin file on Windows 7.
Update 2:
After updating 'mbed' library, the compied bin file transfered to Nucleo via Windows 7 works, while the same code does not work on Ubuntu. This is so strange.
Update 3: (NO MORE PROBLEM)
After updating mbed lib to revision 84, the bin file can be uploaded to the board on Ubuntu 14.04. Anyone else who may have this issue, ensure your mbed lib is up to date.
i updated my firmware as recommended and i went to compile a blink sketch and when i drag and drop the .bin the board crashes and reopens the folder without the file in it
any help here?
i have all the jumpers configured correctly!
Edit: i'm using windows 8.1, beta mode is on, i compiled in chrome and copied the file over in windows trying both drag and drop and copy-paste
