Ghizzy Fresh install of Arduino - Problems met & solved

DUELink
1

Hi
I am hoping this might be useful to someone out there ?

I performed a fresh install of Arduino 2.3.6 on a Win10 PC that has never had it installed

I added the DUELink board package & Library as shown in the DUELink Arduino Guide..
I then installed the latest version of the DUELink Board package

**********************************************************************************************

In Arduino IDE I then selected the DUELink board & serial port .

When i then Clicked the VERIFY button i got the following error …

fork/exec {runtime.tools.STM32Tools.path}/win/busybox.exe: The system cannot find the path specified.

Compilation error: fork/exec {runtime.tools.STM32Tools.path}/win/busybox.exe: The system cannot find the path specified.

To resolve this I had to add the STM32 MCU Based Boards package to the Arduino Boards Manager & then restart Arduino IDE.
Next I installed the latest version of the STM32 MCU BASED BOARD package

Now When VERIFY button is clicked the error message is no longer shown

***********************************************************************************************************

Following the above DUELink Arduino Guide I copy/pasted the example code into the Arduino IDE.
I then made sure the the DUELink board was in DFU Mode & Clicked the UPLOAD button.

I then got the following error….

STM32CubeProgrammer not found (STM32_Programmer.sh).
Please install it or add ‘/bin’ to your PATH environment:

Aborting!
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

************************************************************************

After downloading the STCUBE Programmer software ZIP file from …

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html

Once downloaded I extracted the files from the Zip & ran the .exe file to install.
I just accepted all the defaults & after a few moments the installation was complete

*******************************************************************************************

Now when I click the UPLOAD button the demo code compiles without any error & this is the result

VID_20251214_133615~2 (1)

Success!!

Did ChatGPT get it right ? ChatGPT - Program Ghizzy with Arduino

Pretty close

However i would recommend that instad of following STEP 6 from ChatGPT, that to solve any DFU problems , instead you down load the DFU driver from the GHI Website…

Any further questions onn this pelase ask!

We will double check and update instructions if needed, thanks.

The instructions on the page adds that as of 3 days ago. Maybe you are looking at an older page. Please let us know if the page is not clear when it comes to this.

yes the page does show that installing the STCube software is necessary…

Sorry to have doubled up on the instructions

Just thought i would write a quick post on what i got upon installing a fresh copy Arduino on a Win10 PC just in case someone else was having similar problems
