Program STM32 via serial

[kavinkumar]

Is it possible to program the MCU via Serial using the USART pins (PB6,PB7)????

You can implement any update method you chose.

For the System Loader see application note AN2606 for pin options.

https://git.code.sf.net/p/stm32flash/code is a nice program to talk to AN2606 compatible bootloaders

In addition to the built-in System Loader mentioned by @Tesla DeLorean  - which has certain restrictions - you can write your own loader to use any interface you like on any pins you like

For example, see Application note AN4657, STM32 in-application programming (IAP) using the USART:

This guy has a very detailed video series on implementing a custom bootloader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzo7z2gNBgg&list=PLArwqFvBIlwHRgPtsQAhgZavlp42qpkiG&index=1

He covers most of the code in the video, but he also has git repo if you are short on details: https://github.com/Embetronicx/STM32-Bootloader/tree/main
