Hello ST community,
I have an STM32F411E-DISCO board, and I would like to get a virtual com port to show up on my PC. This board has ST-Link/V2 so it does not come with VCP-through-ST-Link capabilities. However, according to the electrical schematics, one can activate solder bridges SB10 and SB11, and the f103 chip will be able to connect to usart2 from the f411. I would like to know if this is a feasible way to get a VCP on this board. Will the firmware on-board, V2J34S0, be capable of creating this VCP even though this board does not have an ST-Link/V2-1 or others which can do such a job?
On the other hand, is it best that I program for serial connections to take place through the micro-usb OTG that is one of the features of this board?
Thank you.
