The ST-LINK MSC is a simple way of writing a .BIN file into the system, it does this by pretending to be a FAT volume, so there is likely so variability there.

Different firmware versions of the ST-LINK may report different values. Update if necessary.

I suspect you're drawing/inferring far too much from the image in the documentation.

Can you actually drop a workable .BIN file into the drive, or Not?

yes, when i drop the .bin file into the board it raises an error.text like the application format is unknown so you cant proceed.

i dont know where is the mistake and am beginner to ARM MCUs so please me to fix this issue.

The alternative to the drag-n-drop is to use the STM32 Cube Programmer application.

Is this a supplied .BIN or one you created?

​Hey, I had the same Problem. The wiring of the M12 cable does not match the documentation. I messured White GND and Brown VDD. After fixing the UKI100v1bord LED was blinking and after uploading the firmware i had 2Mb flash memory, using the same F401RE
