STEVAL-CTM011V1A

[PGinhson]

Hi, I'm new with STM microcontrollers. I have several years programming Microchip PIC and develops with this other brand.

I want to start a project with this Brand STM, then I bought a Nucleo F411. With this one I tried some examples an all worked fine. Then I bought an STEVAL-CTM011V1A and STEVAL-CTM012V1A to evaluete the Motor Control, I need to decide Driver, Controller, Power, etc.

With this board I purchased the suggested STLINK-V3 programmer with the isolator accessory. Could someone help me explain how I program the STEVAL board with the STLINK? There isn't much explanation for that, I've been searching and can't find an answer.

While I have experience programming other things, I can't figure this out.

I would appreciate the help.
Greetings.

You connect the ST-Link to the SWD connector on the board - see Fig 2 in the User Manual.

You can download documentation & other support resources - including the User Manual - from the Product Page:

Hi.
Thank you, but the SWD connector un the STLINK is not compatible with the SWD connector on the board.
The STLINK came with several flat cables and a colorfull cables for other connector (CN9).
I don't understand why the connectors on the programmer and the STEVAL board are not compatible. Do I have to make a special cable to connect the STD14 of the STLINK with the SWD of the STEVAL?

It does seem pretty dumb - especially as the standard debug connectors for ARM chips are so well established!

Yes.
