STM32F3Discovery: Architecture rejected target-supplied description

I'm reading and the "The discovery book". I'm using the STM32F3DISCOVERY board and things go fine until the (gdb) target remote:3333 command. See below.

wouter@wouter-P5KC:~/rust/discovery-master/src/05-led-roulette$ gdb -q target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette

How have you started openocd? What is the debug-output on openocd?
Which gdb are you using? Is it one of the following:

  • gdb-multiarch
  • arm-none-eabi-gdb
  • gdb-arm-none-eabi

If it is none of them, download the corresponding and it should work. It depends on your Operating System which one you need.
For more informations take a look here:

For me it seems like you have installed two different gdb: One for debugging software for your computer, and one for the arm target. Try exchanging
gdb -q target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette
with
gdb-multiarch -q target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette

@trembel You are right gdb-multiarch as command did work. Thanks for all your help :grinning: I'm happy!

kind regards,
