Using Nucleo Board ST-Link for external STM32

[yang hong]

I am using nucleo board, however, I try to use debugger on board for external board or stm32 microcontroller. I notice 6pin swd (cn6) on debugger. the first pin is VDD_targert. I followed up the wiring and connect to external target board. When I connect usb to pc, I found out pin 1(VDD_target) on CN6 doesn't have 3.3V. So If I would like to use this debugger for external target, I need power on target board or microcontroller to get this pin to have 3.3VDC, right?

Thank you for any help

You'd need to disconnect the local target.

You can use the 3.3V / GND to power a secondary board, providing it's not drawing a lot of current.

Connect the SWDIO / SWCLK to the External target.

What external board, using what STM32? Perhaps you can attach a schematic.

Did you follow the directions for this in the Nucleo Board's User Manual?

This is an input to the debugger: it senses the target's supply voltage - it does not supply power to the target.
