STM32F103C8T6 Bluepill Issue with CubeIDE

[kiranraj_k_r]

Hi Team,

I was working on STM32F103C8T6 Bluepill board. I was using this board with ST-LinkV2 to connect with CubeIDE. When i tried to flash a sample LED blink program via CubeIDE, it gave an error saying 'Target not found'. But at the same time i was able to connect this board via cube programmer using same ST-Link and write sample LED code into the board. 
I have also tried to put the board into DFU mode by changing BOOT0 to 1 and connected with a usb cable to my linux machine. when i tried 'lsusb' it didnt show DFU mode status of the board. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Absolutely!

@kiranraj_k_r One more advantage of the genuine Nucleo, which I omitted earlier, is that it includes a Virtual COM Port (VCP) - so you don't need a separate USB-to-UART adaptor.

@kiranraj_k_r - Yet another advantage of a Nucleo board: the ST-Link (and VCP) is already connected - so no chance of getting that wrong!
