Hi everyone!

I am using st-link on stm32f0 discovery board and ST-LINK utility to program some other boards and that is working like it should. I am working with stm32f030 processor. I am wondering if it is possible to use that st-link on stm32f0 disco as debugger from IAR IDE? This is the error I get:

Should be possible, you're going to want to update the firmware, as the log suggests it's old.

Get the most current ST-LINK utilities, and update with that. Then make sure to fully disconnect the target processor on the DISCO board, so it doesn't interfere. Consider the SWO and NRST pins. Review the manual, schematic, and solder bridges, etc.

I've managed to solve the problem. I've had ''Use flash loader(s)'' box checked and it should be unchecked. It is under Project->Options->Debugger->Download.

Thank you clive for suggestions anyways 😉
