CMSIS Packs, unable to download

[bureaua]

By pressing Refresh button on "CMSIS Packs" tabs, by using the original URL: https://www.keil.com/pack/index.pidx -- it does not work

Update packs job started.
Parsing "https://www.keil.com/pack/index.pidx"...

java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified

After changing the URL to https://sadevicepacksdqaus.blob.core.windows.net/idxfile/index.pidx -- started to work as expected

But when its finished -- some of the packs were not downloaded due to the same issue:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target https://www.keil.com/pack/Keil.STM32F0xx_DFP.pdsc
Missing "c:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\CMSIS-Packs\.cache\Keil.STM32F0xx_DFP.3.0.0.pdsc", ignored by user request.

By opening https://www.keil.com/pack/Keil.STM32F0xx_DFP.pdsc -- I can download the PDSC file

Eclipse version:
Version: 2025-03 (4.35.0)
Build id: 20250306-0812

Probably the Keil servers updated their keys to versions incompatible with the Java code used by Eclipse.

Anyway, the CMSIS Packs plug-in is long deprecated. No longer recommended for new projects.

As I understood, to be able to observe the status of the MCU peripheral registers, I have to download CMSIS Packs and select MCU that I am using in the project settings

As it is "No longer recommended", could you please point me to which solution I have to use instead... ?

could you please point me to which solution I have to use instead

download the SVD file manually, copy it to the project, and configure the debug plug-in to use it.
