Hey,

i have a problem to connect the SMT32F4-discovery Board as a vcp device on my laptop. The board is detected as a USB device but i can not connect it as a vcp device. I have installed the Stm32 st-Link Utility and tried the stm vcp driver and the FTDI Diver but it did not work. Is there any other Software i have to instal? I read that there is the StLink/V2 on the Board. Does this debug tool support vcp? best regards Peter #vcp #!stm32f4discovery-!fsmc #-

NO. VCP is availible only on STlink V2-1.

The NUCLEO boards, and some of the newer DISCO (mbed enabled) boards support a VCP via the debugger's USB connection.

For the old STM32F4-DISCO you'd need to compile a USB firmware for the F407 and connect via CN5 (micro USB)

Consider if you can use this, it's not a 4 years old design..

Thanks for your help!!!!
