Hi,

I am following the document below to build and flash the tfm_integration/tfm_ipc sample on the STM32L562E-DK Discovery board:
[STM32L562E-DK Discovery].

However, I encountered an error when running west flash, which uses the STM32CubeProgrammer runner for flashing the code.

Error Output:

Commands Used:

west build -b stm32l562e_dk/stm32l562xx/ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/

west flash

Running the following command manually works fine, but west flash fails:

STM32_Programmer_CLI --connect port=swd reset=HWrst --erase all

Additional Notes:

The board is correctly connected, and STM32_Programmer_CLI detects it without issues.
The samples/hello_world sample can be successfully flashed and executed.
west build completes successfully without errors.
west -vvv flash produces the following output:

After downgrading STM32CubeProgrammer to v2.17.0, the writing process completed without errors, and the TF-M sample was able to start. It seems that STM32CubeProgrammer v2.18.0 has some issues.
