ST-Link and other Cortex-M MCUs

Hi all,

I have a question about the ST-Link debugger/programmer.

Can it be used with any Cortex-M MCU from other manufacturers or is somehow specific to the STM32 family?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi

,

The ST-LINK debugger and programmer is specific for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families.

IMHO at least worth a try.

About three years ago, I successfully flashed and debugged an NXP1343 (Cortex M3) with a severed on-board ST-Link.

However, the firmware (and hardware) changed at the meantime. Not sure if that still holds with current versions ..

Both

  and

https://github.com/texane/stlink

  know the Stlink and can debug/program also a lot of other devices via SWD.

You can also reflash
