#351 Segmentation fault at stlink_usb on Ubuntu 22.04
Hi all,
I was trying to use OpenOCD to debug my STM32F303RC6 MCU on my Ubuntu 22.04. However, when I enter command openocd -f interface/stlink.cfg -c "transport select hlaswd" -f target/stm32f3x.cfg. I encounter a segmentation fault error. I guess there probably has a usb driver issue but I don't know what is the correct version for OpenOCD. My libusb-1.0-0-dev is version 2:1.0.25-1ubuntu1 amd64.
The following is the debug log, very grateful for all your time and help!

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is a duplicate of ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/tickets/308/
Solved with http://review.openocd.org/6331
Please use older libusb or rebuild OpenOCD from git's master branch
The other possibility is to upgrade to libusb 1.0.26 to see if that helps.
https://github.com/libusb/libusb/blob/master/ChangeLog
2022-04-10: v1.0.26 * Fix regression with transfer free's after closing device * Fix regression with destroyed context if API is misused * Workaround for applications using missing default context
...
Hi, unfortunately just downgrade to 1.0.24 or update to 1.0.26 are not working. So I rebuild openocd with 1.0.24 which seems okay now.

Did you rebuild OpenOCD from the git master branch as suggested here?
https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/tickets/351/#8032
Edit: post crossed with Antonio's
https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/tickets/351/#8955
Last edit: Tommy Murphy 2022-05-19
And what about recompiling OpenOCD from master branch?
Hi, I just rebuilt OpenOCD and it works now. Sorry to make you reopen the ticket!
No problem, I probably closed it to quickly.
It remains the strange observation that downgrading to 1.0.24 doesn't work.
Can be something incorrect in such test?
