How to debug the Seeed Studio AI Assistant board using a STLink/V2 debugger

Hello,

We have bought the new AI Assistant board from Seeed Studio and we need some help on how we can connect an external debugger.

We have two STLink/V2 debuggers, the plain and the ISOL version. However with the cables that they have we cannot connect any of them to the 8-pin debug port of the Seeed board.

We assume that the necessary pins are on the STM32 connector, but which are they? Additionally the picture of the STLink/V2 debugger in:

https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ai_assistant_getting_started/#additional-documentation-of-the-application

does not correspond to the debugger we have. Is that a different board from the one we have?

Thanks in advance

As it's a Seeed Studio board, you should be going to Seeed Studio for support:

https://aftersale.seeedstudio.com/home 

https://forum.seeedstudio.com/

Particularly as it's a new product, you need to feeding back to them on needed improvements!

That really is a question for Seeed Studio!

But the schematics are on the page you linked:

As it says in the picture, that's an ST-Link V3:

A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
