Setting up STEVAL-FCU001V1

[Trevor123]

Hi.

I am a bit confused how to set up the STEVAL-FCU001V1 kit. Is there any kind of tutorial on how to load a firmware onto the board? I've got a STLINK-V3SET and a STLINK V2. Where do I have to connect the Powersupply and the SWDIO and SWCLK from the STLINK V2? What kind of Software do I need to upload the firmware or to debug the board.

Thanks in advance!

There is a 10-pin SWD connector usable with the STLINK-V3 pick the 14-pin / 10-pin cable. I'd imagine one could use the STM32 Cube Programmer to upload/download firmware.

Step 5 covers the debug connectivity

I believe there's other material if you dig a little.

For STLINK V2 there is a 20-pin to 10-pin adapter board. It is included in the STEVAL-DRONE01 kit or may be bought separately. 10-pin header pinout is shown in https://www.st.com/resource/en/data_brief/steval-fcu001v1.pdf. You need to connect SWDIO (=SWDD), SWCLK, and GND. Power supply is possible either by USB or by STLINK. When using the motors, the LiPo is required for power supply. Can confirm that STM32 Cube Programmer works for flashing as well as SW4STM32 IDE for debugging when you rebuild the firmware from source. I use "software reset" reset mode, i.e. NRST is not needed.
