STSW-LINK007 on FreeBSD

Hello world :)

Trying to upgrade firmware on series of STLINK-V3MODS on FreeBSD, downloaded 3.16.9 package from [1], after running:

java -jar STLinkUpgrade.jar

I got error message "Platform not supported (freebsd)".

Would it be possible to add support for FreeBSD? All should work as on Linux or macOS except serial port names here are /dev/cuaU0, /dev/cuaU1, etc. Ah I notices there are some dynamic libraries involved but these can be cross-compiled easily too let me know if you need support :)

Thanks :)

Tomek

Hello,

As far as I know, there is no plan for the ST-Link upgrade tool to support FreeBSD.

Thanks @Mike_ST , how can I help to make this happen? Would it be possible to provide only firmware *.bin file so open-source tools can be used?

Thank you for you help, but the STM32 ecosystem does not support FreeBSD, so I think it won't happen.

ST doesn't provide the binary file. You have to use the ST-Link Upgrade tool.

You can try to launch a linux VM under free BSD, maybe the upgrade process will work (never tried).
