Question

STM32F407G-DISC1 is in reset when supplied from external +5V.

Everything works fine when the USB programming port is connected to PC. 

When the board is supplied from external +5V then the reset signal is 

active all the time. The reset disappears when I connect USB programming 

port. It seams that the STM32F103C8T6 forces low the line T_NRST until 

it gets USB connection. 

Is this an expected behavior? What can I do to use the board without USB?

There is a solder bridge SB11 which connects T_NRST to the NRST of the 

main processor and I could remove it. But then I probably could not be 

able to upload new software through USB.

    Update the firmware in the STLink (STM32F103).

    OK JW, how to do it? I am using Atollic TrueSTUDIO for STM32 ver.9.0.0.

    The V24 or V25 shipped on the STM32f407G-DISC1 would hold the target in reset.

    Most current is V31 which is available as a stand-alone upgrade
