STM32F4DISCOVERY : Cannot connect to the MCU device

Hello,

I just bought an STM32F4 discovery board. I installed the USB drivers (

ST-LINK/V2 USB driver for Windows 7, Vista and XP

) and the

STM32 ST-LINK utility programmer.  As a first step I would like to connect the ST-Link v2 to the device and then load an example binary file.

The programmer do not reconize the device. When trying to connect, the green/red led is blinking, and them goes to green. But the programmer give me the following message:

''

21:57:55 : Connected via SWD.

21:57:55 : Cannot connect to the MCU device!

''

I tried to do a firmware update. When the board has just been connected i'm able to see the firmware version, it is up to date (i'm also able to update it). But if i try to connect the device, then after firmware update is not possible any more until rebooting the board.

I think i have à driver problem. I tried everything i found on the web (like removing daemon tool) and also tried to instal the drivers on an other computer. I do not manage to connect to the device !!!

Can someone may confirm that i can use the

''STM32 ST-LINK utility programmer'' by itself as a very first step (to check connectivity)?

Does someone know what may I do to connect this device?

I use windows 7, on a core i3 (64bits) based computer.

Regards,

Ronan
