When I try to target->connect in ST Link Utility I have an error ''unknown device'' with disco L4, disco F7 and nucleo L4.

With nucleo L0, the connection is good, but I have the message ''Device family : unknown device''. With disco F0, disco F3 and disco F4 it's OK. The PC is Windows7 64 bits, the USB driver is up to date, and AC6 SW is installed. On PC Vista 32 bits without AC6, all is OK. Any idea?

Hi deschamps.manuel.001,

It seems that you are using an old version of the STM32 ST-LINK Utility.So I suggest you to download the latest version of the software available under this

Or that your application is still using OLD/STALE .DLL files, copy in new STLinkUSBDriver.DLL to replace whatever the app is currently using.

Exact.

Thanks a lot, Syrine.

is it rev 3.8 or 3.7 that's the question.

Indeed things speak of 3.8 but 3.7 is offered for download, I really wish ST would get their act together on this, we've forked to 3 different ST-LINK versions at this time, with other resources on mbed pages. I would strongly recommend putting ALL the driver, firmware and utilities on a SINGLE resource page.

Thanks, it is working now.
