I have an Discovery board. It has the provision to pass the UART of the target through the on-board ST-Link. I have searched the literature on the board and the manuals. I havent been able to find how this works. I assumed there would be a a provision to activate the virtual COM port channel of the ST-Link micro to allow the data to pass through to the Target like a utility on the PC or a driver to allow a terminal program to talk to it.
The only thing I can identify is the solder bridges must be implemented. #on-board-st-link2015-10-12 06:06 PM
The USART connectivity is not implemented in the DISCO ST-LINK firmware, only in the NUCLEO ST-LINK firmware. I don't know why this is the case, perhaps the F103 used in the latter is different. Only ST can explain the reasoning, as it would make a lot of sense to have that feature here.

I've been using STM32 parts for 6-7 years, I just pay attention to what does, and doesn't function.
