Hi ,
Recently I got a NUCLEO-C051C8 board and tried to connect it to windows and program it using STm32CubeIDE but it does not show that st-link is connected , ST-link on board blinks RED continuously.
Cant install it ( installation goes through , but cant see it in device manager ) using stsw-link009
( https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link009.html?dl=redirect )
Cant connect using STM32CubeProgrammer.
Tried 2 USb cables , various ports of pc but in vain.
Can someone please help ?

Thanks , I am able to make it work now.
Seems like I had to remove Jumpers from CN-2 and it did usb enumaration ( Red LED went steady ).
Thanks a lot for your help.
thanks & warm regards,

Blinking red LED means it's not enumerating. Usually due to using a power-only USB cable. Try a different USB cable or a different USB port.
Even if drivers aren't installed, something should show up in device manager as an unknown device.

As @TDK said, try a different cable - make sure it's one that actually gives a data connection with other devices.
More things to try here.
