Hi, I've been seeing COM2:STMicro... port on my PC but after I removed some drivers and installed some, it disappeared. Still I can connect to the target using ST-LINK/V2-1 utility and I can debug the code using uVision5.
What software should I install more? Any help deeply appreciated.(By the way, I learned that I can update the firmware of the board using ST-LINK utility and did that hoping this could make the UART print work with uVision program installed.. But now I cannot connect to the COM port using tera-term...)ADD : I can find the COM port but printf is not working. Before I remove a driver (winusb from STmicro), the UART test program worked. I cannot reproduce it.

Hi Chan,
In the STM32 STLink Properties, click on the device name, in properties click on ''Driver'' and ''Update Driver''. So, the Virtual COM Port will be re-installed. If you can not visualize it in the properties window, disconnect the board and reconnect it to the PC.-Shahrzad-Options

Posted on December 11, 2015 at 03:11shahrzad,You mean doing it in the win7 device manager? I did it there by selecting port(COM & LPT) /'' STMicroelectronics STLink Virtual COM Port(COM2)''. Selected ''Driver'' and ''Update Driver''. But it says newest driver is already installed. The test program that I received from clive1(USART2NUCLEO401.hex) worked couple of times but id doesn't now. Installing uVision5 makes it not work I guess.

I wasn't able to reproduce the failure by installing the various ST drivers. Not sure what Keil is installing but probably some mis-match of DLL and drivers.
These can be the occasional battles you have with Windows, and the myriad of different components that can be installed on systems in the field. I think I have sufficiently demonstrated the hardware works, and what combinations of drivers/firmware also work.
