I have an ST link V2 and a custom board running at 3.3V generated by an on-board regulator powered from a battery. Google is sending me mixed messages about connecting VAPP (pins 1 and 2) on the ST link to VDD on the board.

I'm a bit worried about destroying either my board or the ST link, so should I connect them or not?
