Is there a way to download the binary into my NUCLEO-H503RB? Otherwise Need to by ST-LINK?

[LukeJang522]

Hi All, 

I just got NUCLEO-H503RB for I3C. And tried to download the image that I built. (just followed the link's instruction)

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Getting_started_with_I3C

and I just realized it needs ST-link to run and debug my codes. But I thought ST-Link was on board when I checked below link

https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-h503rb.html

even i connected board and click debug or run button, it can't find ST-LINK. it said "No ST-LINK detected".

Do I have to buy ST-LINK? Or do I miss something?

and I'd like to just download what I build first and check the behavior next. is that possible? 

Otherwise, do I have to buy ST-LINK anyway to debug my code?

Thanks,

Luke.

Yes, it is:

Note that there are two USB connectors - are you sure you're using the correct one?

Hi andrew Neil, 

Thank you for your reply. 

Yes, I've connected the cable to USB STLK which is on the TOP. also I can see the lights from the LD7, LD1, LD2, LD3.

Is there a any drivers that I need to install first?

Thanks,

Luke.

Does it appear in your Device Manager:

Have you tried different physical USB ports?

Are you using a Hub? If so, what happens if you go straight to the computer instead?

Are you sure the cable is good? Have you tried different USB cables?

Thank you very much for your help. 

I finally did it. Somehow one of my USB ports can't recognize this board. but there is no problem with other devices.

Anyway I really appreciate your help. 

Thanks.
