What is ST Link debugger?

The ST-LINK/V2 is an in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. The single-wire interface module (SWIM) and JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) interfaces are used to communicate with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.

What is the purpose of ST Link utility?

It provides an easy-to-use and efficient environment for reading, writing and verifying a memory device.

How do you program a ST microcontroller?

To program the STM32:

create a new project in STM32CubeIDE.
in Target Selection Tool, select the appropriate microcontroller or Evaluation Board.
give your project a name.
in Device Configuration Tool initialize all the necessary peripherals.
generate a project.
complete this project with your code.

What is SWD debugger?

Serial Wire Debug (SWD) is a 2-pin (SWDIO/SWCLK) electrical alternative JTAG interface that has the same JTAG protocol on top. This enables the debugger to become another AMBA bus master for access to system memory and peripheral or debug registers. The Debug Access Port (DAP) is split into two main control units.

What is SWD debug?

What is SWD Debugging. SWD, also known as Serial Wire Debug is a 2-pin interface (SWDIO/SWCLK) of which it’s also an alternative JTAG interface that has the same JTAG protocol. SWD uses an ARM CPU standard bi-directional wire protocol, defined in the ARM Debug programmer.

What is the St-link V2 programmer/debugger?

Nucleo boards come equipped with an integrated ST-Link v2 programmer/debugger chip. It’s another microcontroller on the board itself. In the case of our Nucleo32L432KC, it’s a small microcontroller on the back of the board. It’s hooked up to the USB port on the board.

What is St-link?

The ST-LINK is an in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families. ST-LINK is a USB device and has to be connected to a PC host. It can be either embedded on ST boards or provided as standalone dongle.

How do I connect the St-link/v2 to the target board?

For development of applications based on STM8 microcontrollers, the ST-LINK/V2 can be connected to the target board by two different cables, depending on the connector available on the application board.

What are the St-Link hardware probes?

This article describes the ST-LINK hardware probes. The ST-LINK is an in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families. ST-LINK is a USB device and has to be connected to a PC host. It can be either embedded on ST boards or provided as standalone dongle.
