STM32 Nucleo Firmware Source code (STSW-LINK007)

Hi, we are developing a couple of STM32 boards. Want to target the mbed platform. For programming, we would like an optional small daughter board that can plug into our board, that provides the programming/debugging interface available on the STM32 Nucleo boards. Does anyone know if ST makes the source code for the firmware (STSW-LINK007) on the Nucleo board available?

For info on the board we require this for, see

http://forum.modtronix.com/index.php?topic=2197.0

. The Nucleo firmware makes it very easy to program and debug the target. It provided:

• Debug and programming port, to use STM32 Nucleo wth standard toolchains/debuggers/programmers
• Virtual Com port to send back traces to the PC
• Mass storage (USB Disk drive) for drag'n'drop programming

Pretty sure that would need to be a conversation that starts with your local ST rep, but I seriously doubt it ends up with you getting source code. Licensing ST-LINK OnBoard as a firmware binary might be a more achievable goal.

If you've provided the SWD connectivity, surely you can start by connecting SWDIO/SWCLK/SWO/NRST and GND from a Nucleo?

Hi Clive. Thanks for reply! Yes, using the Nucleo board is surely possible, but not a nice solution. I want to add these boards to the mbed list of target boards. Want it available as an optional daughter board. I added a picture to our forum showing how it will mount. See ''=== Optional Programming/Debugging daughter board ==='' section on

. I have contacted ST, not sure if I will get a reply. Do you know the best way to contact ST about something like this? Maybe an email address, or contact page?

Not sure how it works in Australia, but in the Americas you'd push in via your distributor (Arrow, Avnet, Future), ST Regional Sales, and/or your local ST FAE
