Programming using STLINK- V3MINIE

[SanthiNikhila]

I have custom PCB designed using STM32L476RG. I included SED 2x5 female connector so that I can program the board directly. How do I program it using STLINK - V3MINIE. Can I connect the debugger directly to the board without using any connection wires? Also It would be of great help if someone can explain me the process or the steps involved.

Thanks

If you have the appropriate header on your board, yes you:

• Connect programmer to PC
• Connect programmer to target board
• Ensure target board has power (programmer does not provide power)
• Open up STM32CubeProgrammer, hit connect, and program, or program via STM32CubeIDE.

Not sure what "SED 2x5 female connector" is, but it doesn't sound like the appropriate header, so you will need to find a way to connect GND, SWDIO, SWCLK between the two, at a minimum.
