STM32F0Discovery STLINK Virtual Comm Port

The STM32F0Discovery (board MB1034B) has a connection between the STM32F103 used for the STLINK and USART1 of the STM32F051.  It seems like this connection is intended for use as a USART comm port between the STLINK and the F0 processor.  

Is there a version of the STLINK firmware that enables this link?  I downloaded the latest STLINK firmware from ST-LINK v3.8.0 (reported to be V2.J25.S0 STM32 Debugger) but I don't have a COMM port assigned to the ST-LINK.

(Yes, I have shorted SB14 and SB15 so as to physically connect the signals to the STM32F103)

This functionality is not supported on your board.

The boards supporting the VCP and mbed have a higher grade F103 part, and the update tool contains different firmwares for the assorted models. Some of the DISCO boards have been reissued as DISC1 models that support mbed.
