I bought this board some months ago, I kept it in the drawer so far, now I would like to test it on Ubuntu 14.04. Even if System Workbench for STM32 and CubeSTM32 support the boards the the case is serious. I imported very simple code from Cube to SW, compiled and linked. When debugging I get the error:

Error message from debugger back end: localhost:3333: Connection timed out.

Launching Eclipse from the terminal we can see the complete command string composed by eclipse to run the debugger:

OpenOCD launch command (run in /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.8.0.201603291114/resources/openocd/scripts/st_board): /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.externaltools.openocd.linux64_1.8.0.201603291120/tools/openocd/bin/openocd -f nucleo_l476rg.cfg -s /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.8.0.201603291114/resources/openocd/scripts/st_board -s /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.8.0.201603291114/resources/openocd/scripts -c gdb_port 3333

we can add to this string a log file and debug option (-l mylog -d)

/home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.externaltools.openocd.linux64_1.8.0.201603291120/tools/openocd/bin/openocd -f nucleo_l476rg.cfg -s /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.8.0.201603291114/resources/openocd/scripts/st_board -s /home/rob/Ac6/SystemWorkbench/plugins/fr.ac6.mcu.debug_1.8.0.201603291114/resources/openocd/scripts -l mylog.log -d -c gdb_port 3333

We can run this command from terminal. The last lines of the log file are in my case

so the problem seems to be the communication link between the server and the st-link/v2-1. I am not able to investigate further. My ask is: Is there anyone debuging the Nucleo-STM32l476RG with openocd under linux? Thx.

p.s. I apologize for the lack of line-feed in the log file cut/copy: reading it is hard.
