Hi,
I'm having issues connecting the STMEVAL002V12 kit (brushless motor driver containing a STSPIN32F0A) to the V3MINIE debugger.
The programmer is found (using STM32CubeProgrammer on Win11), and has been updated to the latest firmware (V3J8M3).
To connect the two boards, I am using the 3 pin programming connector on the eval kit which includes SWCLK, 0V and SWDIO. The eval kit is powered from an external source (a 12V battery).
I don't have the target (eval kit) VCC connected to the programmer.
The Cube programmer software reports 'No STM32 Target Found! If your product embeds Debug Authentication, please perform a discovery using Debug Authentication'.
Is the STMEVAL kit/ STSPIN32F0A intended to work with the V3MINIE? Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
Appreciate any input.
Cheers
Ed

Welcome @edwarexx, to the community!
you probably mean STEVAL-ESC002V1, right?
Please also check this thread, which may have had the same problem.

Yes, thank you PB. It is the STEVAL-ESC002V1 board.
The solution was to connect VCC from the EVAL target processor to the V3MINIE. The programmer then immediately found the target device.
Interestingly, the STEVAL kit includes a 3 pin header for programming, with no obvious access to 3V3 supplying the processor. I had to solder a fine wire between the programmer and the target (on a SMT capacitor) which is inconvenient when I want to separate the 2 devices. A slight oversight perhaps. Maybe this will help someone else one day.
In any case I was able to program the STEVAL-ESC002V1 board after this mod.
It would have helped **greatly** if the manufacturer of the eval kit shipped it with some sample firmware already installed/ programmed in the target!

The VDD connection of the STLINK-V3MINIE is not used to supply the target, but to check the voltage applied there. If I have the STEVAL-ESC002V1 on my desk, I'll have to check whether I can programme without this connection using a different setting of the programmer.
However, at least you have now found a way to programme it. I wish you every success in your future work with it!
