Hi ​@Abhiram_NP,

Can you connect via ST-Link and see the CPU register values ?

ive programmed it via usb and st link , usb programming making it into bootmode by connecting boot0 and 3v3 and it worked , stlink works too but when trying via uart im receiving this output. 
"Error: Activating device: KO. Please, verify the boot mode
configuration and check the serial port configuration.

i tried it in a l series board as well same error popped up.

Are you powering the chip via USB? try another power source. It might be that bootloader is detecting the USB and only initializing that interface. Also verify your HW connections.
