DfuSe redistribution terms?

Hi, I need to provide the end-user with a customized way to flash the firmware to our product. What are the redistribution terms on the DFU driver, STDFU.dll and the binary code compiled using the provided sources?

The enclosed ''MCD-ST Liberty SW License Agreement V2.pdf'' unfortunately defines the Product as something that runs on ST devices, which the updater obviously is not, and the updating by the end-user probably cannot be called a ''manufacturing''. Is it allowed to provide the end-user with a DfuSe-based tool, or does one need to acquire a separate license for this? Thanks #dfu-dfuse-redistribution-license

Hello,

It is not allowed to use ST firmware with non ST products. Please refer to ST-One post on

for more details.. -Mayla-

Hi,

unfortunately that is not what I am asking. The firmware runs on a ST hardware. My question is regarding the application used to flash the firmware, which, obviously, runs on a PC. ST provides source for an example flashing tool together with a binary-only DLL, with a license that does not seem to be applicable to firmware update by an end user. I am asking whether I can redistribute a binary built using this source and linked with this binary DLL. Again, this would be a flash tool used to flash a firmware to a ST device. Thanks

For all things legal you'd want to contact your local ST sales office/representative, and get it in writing.
