Can you open source your STLINK-V3MINIE?  

All hardware and codes,  

Your design is not easy to use.

[TDK]

ST isn't going to open source ST-Link.

What's hard to use about it? Likely someone can help if you describe what problem you are having.

Thanks for your advice,

Then can you design a new version of STLINK-V3MINIE  like this?

@FZhen.3 there's no need to post the same thing twice in two separate replies - everyone can see all posts!

@FZhen.3 What you show in the double-inserted picture is not an open source tool, but an illegally manufactured and incomplete clone of the ST-LINK/V2, with which there are meanwhile massive problems due to its incompatibility. STMicroelectronics does not support such counterfeits, nor does it make any variant of the ST-LINK available as open source - because otherwise we would no longer be able to guarantee compatibility and interoperability.

Illegally manufactured, incomplete clone, maybe.   

But massive problems are not.  works very well acctually.

I am not support illegally manufactured product , But they really consider issues from the perspective of users!

Maybe a large company like ST,   should Put aside your arrogance and learn something from those illegal manufacturers, Their illegal  products can beat your legal products in the market not only because their Low price.

but because really convenient for users.

Your STLINK is ugly and sucks.

ST has never open-sourced any ST-Link hardware or software - why would they start now?

But there are open-source debug adaptors available; eg,

Why not? In what way(s), specifically, do you find it "not easy" ?

As the others have said, if you describe the problem(s) then people can probably help you to overcome them...

@Andrew Neil   Thanks, I‘m using CMSIS-DAP,  works well.

But STLINK has some unique features,  like programming  Option Bytes of stm32XX. 

other debug adaptors can't.

But STLINK has some unique features,  like programming  Option Bytes of stm32XX

The option byte programming feature is actually not a feature of the STLINK, it’s a feature of the STM32CubeProgrammer. I understood STM32CubeProgrammer also supports debug adapters other than STLINK (or you can, e.g., use the UART bootloader to not require an STLINK at all), and with the “--verbosity 3” option of “STM32_Programmer_CLI” you can find out what to do to achieve the option byte programming with other debug adapters like CMSIS-DAP.
