Hi.

On board I found this file: FAIL.TXT - ''The interface firmware FAILED to reset/halt the target MCU''. The leds LD1 and LD3 of COM remain red. I tried to update firmware with 

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF260217♯

 . The update is successful with firmware V2J24M11, however, the LED remains red. Originally the firmware board is V2J22M5. What happened ? How can I restore the board?Thank you #v2j22m5 #f411re #swderror #nucleo #fail #f411re

Hi nicky,

Try to upgrade firmware version using STM32 ST-LINK Utility: go to ST-LINK>firmware update, Then disconnect and connect your NUCLEO.Also check the jumper position on the board:JP1 off, JP5 (PWR) on U5V,JP6 on (IDD), CN2 on (NUCLEO) selected.let me know about the result -Syrine-

The STM32 ST-LINK Utility is v.3.5.0

Get something that's current.

You could strap BOOT0 High on the chip.If the chips is non-functional no amount of playing around with the software is going to fix it. Check the voltages on the board, and the VCAP pins of the chip.
