STM32L496G-Discovery Unknown Device

Posted on September 26, 2017 at 22:21

My STM32L496G-Discovery shows up as an 'Unknown Device' in the Windows 7 Device manager.

I tried connecting to it with the ST-LINK Utility, it gives a 'No ST_LINK detected' error message.

Is there a way to directly connect to U6 (the 32F103 running ST-LINK firmware) over USB to do DFU?

Is there a utility that will flash the encrypted ST-LINK FW through the SWD pins?

No there isn't exist such utility.

But, why are you convinced that chip is erased? It is very unusual.

Try to make a test

Plug your board to a computer

open device manager

right click to the unknown device(if exists such unknown device)

select properties

open Details tab

select from dropdown list the 'hardware id' 

observe for something like  USB\VID_0483&PID_374........  

If exists it's a matter of not installed drivers.

Hello!

Try to install drivers from

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-utilities/stsw-link009.html

.

There are several posts in this community about Installing drivers.

Is there a way to directly connect to U6 (the 32F103 running ST-LINK firmware) over USB to do DFU?

You mean that the STlink firmware is erased?

Regards

Yes, the drivers were installed, the '32F103 is not recognized as an ST-LINK device.

so it looks like Atollic has, with this update, killed the STLink on my nucleo device :oops: :evil:

perhaps somebody knows how to fix this problem

Hi, I’m in the same situation here, brand new Nucleo board, and I get the following with

st-info — probe 
setting new configuration (0 -> 1)
Found 1 st-link programmers 
seria: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX < Edit 
flash: 0 (pagesize: 0)
sram: 0
chipid: 0x0000
descr: unknown device

It will not connect to the board.

Any procedure to resolve this?

Thanks,
