error "no ST Link detected"

[zanna989]

hi everyone, idk if this problem was already reported but i didn't find anything that helped me solving my problem.

i'm using the board B-L475EIOT01A and everytime i try to debug in my STM IDE it tells "no ST Link detected".

can someone pls tell me step-by-step how to solve this problem?

can it be that my pc doesn't see the board?

thanks

You'd need to see the board and an ST-LINK in Device Manager. You'd need the right driver, a suitable data cable, and plug into the correct USB port. Check the board provides an ST-LINK, and not an external SWD/JTAG pod.

ST-LINK is on-board via connector in North East top edge. Make sure you have a good cable, not a power-only charger cable.

i think everything is working properly, also the cable is the one that my university gave to me.

i read that the problem could be the firmware version, could it be?

idk how to do the update

[zanna989]

so it's possible that the data cable could be the problem
actually I went to look at Device Manager and it seems that the board is not seen by the PC

also how can i check that the board is providing an ST-LINK
sorry if my questions are trivial but i'm a beginner
