Hi.

On board I found this file: FAIL.TXT - ''The interface firmware FAILED to reset/halt the target MCU''. The leds LD1 and LD3 of COM remain red. 

I tried to update firmware with 

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF260217♯

 . The update is successful with firmware V2J24M11, however, the LED remains red.

Originally the firmware board is V2J22M5. What happened ? How can I restore the board?

Thank you

    Hi nicky,

    Try to upgrade firmware version using STM32 ST-LINK Utility: go to ST-LINK>firmware update, Then disconnect and connect your NUCLEO.

    Also check the jumper position on the board:

    JP1 off, 

    JP5 (PWR) on U5V,

    JP6 on (IDD), 

    CN2 on (NUCLEO) selected.

    let me know about the result

    Sorry, how can I do ?

    I

    get

    the ST

    LINK always

    :

    Can not connect to target!

    Please select ''Connect Under Reset'' mode from Target->Settings menu and try again.

    If you're trying to connect to a low frequency application , please select a lower SWD Frequency mode from Target->Settings menu.

    No target connected

    I tried

    with ''Connect Under Reset''

    but

    nothing

    The STM32 ST-LINK Utility is v.3.5.0

    Get something that's current.

    You could strap BOOT0 High on the chip.

    If the chips is non-functional no amount of playing around with the software is going to fix it. Check the voltages on the board, and the VCAP pins of the chip.
