It probably doesn't affect your issue but be aware that the ST-Link doesn't support 16-bit accesses. I think OpenOCD maps it to two 8-bit accesses, which of course may fail when dealing with peripheral registers. IMO we should fail them instead.

Also, if things haven't improved since I used it last time, read failures do not propagate to OpenOCD so if you read bogus addresses (or use unsupported access sizes) you get bogus data, instead of failure. ST-Link really isn't the best tool to use for low level debug and I don't get why people insist on using it for that.

AFAIK reading from a bogus address is reported in fresh OpenOCD and ST-Link V2. Just message is not too informative, just "in procedure 'mdw'" In case of delayed error I'm afraid that OpenOCD starts reconnection process too early. It would be worth to retry memory read once (even if it can clear some flags...).

Otherwise I agree that there are better tools. I do not insist on using ST-Link ;-)
