No Connected Debug Probes when running executable built with PyInstaller

[Dominikisses]

I am using pyocd version 0.36 with Python 3.11 and have used PyInstaller to build an executable of a script that uses pyocd. My script includes the use of ConnectHelper to open a session with an STM32 board. When I run the script (.py file), the node is found and everything works correctly. However, when I run the built executable, I encounter the following error:

←[31mNo connected debug probes←[0m

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a Python script that uses pyocd to connect to an STM32 board.
   

2. Use PyInstaller to build an executable from this script.
   

3. Run the executable.
   

Expected Behavior:

The executable should successfully connect to the STM32 board, just as the script does when run directly with Python.

Actual Behavior:

The executable fails to find any connected debug probes and outputs the following error message:

←[31mNo connected debug probes←[0m

Additional Information:

• Python Version: 3.11
• pyocd Version: 0.36
• PyInstaller Command Used: pyinstaller --onefile my_script.py
• Operating System: [Windows 10]

Questions:

• Is there a known issue with pyocd and PyInstaller?
• Are there specific steps or configurations needed to ensure pyocd works in a PyInstaller-built executable?
• Could there be a missing dependency or path issue in the executable that isn't present when running the script directly?

Any help or guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
