How to setup STM32CubdeIDE using ST Link V2 Debugger

[HMSEdinburge]

Hi there, 

  Could anyone advise how to setup STM32CudeIDE to debug my custom board using ST Link V2 ?

That's almost certainly going to be a fake ST-Link:

Do yourself a favour, and get a genuine ST-Link...

 

You can read how to set up an ST-Link in CubeIDE:

Hi Dude, its genuine STLink V2, cost $40++

Connect SWD pins to programmer.

Ensure board is powered.

Hit debug.

Not forgetting V_target and GND.

@HMSEdinburge  Also connecting NRST is highly recommended.

Hi All, can the ST Link V2 be used for debugging? I m keep getting these errors on STM32CudeIDE, although i can use STLink Utility to download the code?

 

Error in initializing ST-LINK device.

Reason: ST-LINK: Could not verify ST device! Abort connection.

Of course it can - that's its key function!

The ST-Link Utility is long obsolete - STM32CubeProgrammer is the replacement.

You haven't said what STM32 chip you're using - the Obsolete Utility won't support recent chips.

A fake/clone ST-Link could also cause problems.

Again, see: How to recognize a genuine ST-LINK/V2 versus a cloned one.

hi Andrew, i tried the STMCude Programmer, it works perfectly... board is a blue pill, STM32F103,  guess it must be a Chinese clone... 

I happen to have the H753 Nucleo and H750 DISCO board, could you advise how to test the STLink V2 on these 2 boards? I m pretty sure the STlink V2 is a genuine from STM!

Amazon does not sell this, but is only a platform.

The dealer is something called Tetoo store with no real information and no feedback visible.
Only the price looks like a genuine product here :)

In the past I had some fake blue pills and fake ST-Link/v2 mini sold via amazon. None of them really worked as expected.

On the other side there are also genuine products. But I prefer buying at more trustworthy places. An St-Link is not expensive enough to risc troubles.
