I try to connect a Nucleo-64 board via ST-Link/v2 for debugging, but it doesn't work. I removed CN2 and and pinning as specified. But nothing happens, no connection and no led on. The ST-Link/v2 is solid red, so it should be ready.

That header on the Nucleo board is meant to use the Nucleo's STLink to debug an EXTERNAL device instead of the on-board CPU. It is not intended to allow you to connect an external STLink to the Nucleo to debug the on-board CPU.

In addition to that show stopped [EDIT: stopper] - the Nuclep board CN4 pin 1 (VDD) does NOT power the Nucleo board, It is meant for the on-bioard STLink to sense the EXTERNAL device's VDD.

Connect your USB cable to the ST-LINK on the nucleo. It replaces the ST-Link pod.

ok thanks, that explains a lot:see_no_evil_monkey: :grinning_face: . Is there any way to test the ST-Link/v2 with the Nucleo board?

this works but I want to test the ST-Link/v2

The ST-Link as delivered is connected to the Nucleo for programming and debug.

Have you read the Nucleo documentation ?

Hello @BKarl​,

The embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 integrated into the Nucleo board is usable in different ways according to the jumper states.

For detailed configuration, I recommend you referring to the 6.4 section "Embedded ST-LINK/V2-1" of the UM2324.

Power Nucleo board externally (e.g. via internal STLink USB-connector), remove jumpers on CN2, connect external STLink SWCLK and SWDIO to CN2, pin 2 and pin 4, respectively (and of course GND). The internal STLink will still supply MCO and 'block' SWO, USART_TX, USART_RX pins, if you don't like this, short SB11 to keep internal STLink in reset state.

If you use an original STLink-V2, don't forget to connect STLink's VAPP pin to target's VDD.
