Connect via USB in sparkfun stm32 board. No ST-Link detected error.

[TBart.1]

Hi.

I have a board: SparkFun Thing Plus - STM32 - SparkFun DEV-17712

Can I run the project directly via USB on this board?

In stm32cubeprogrammer, I connect normally via USB, unfortunately in STM32CubeIDE, I have an error: No ST-Link Detected. I don't have the st-link / v2 programmer.

Correct, if you don't have an ST-LINK it ain't going to find one.

Perhaps not, do they have their own loader with a drag-n-drop type USB MSC where you can copy .BIN files?

The USB connectivity mode of STM32 parts is to attach/reset whilst pressing a "BOOT" button or such holding the BOOT0 pin HIGH.

The device you then enumerate as an "STM32 BOOT DEVICE" or something very similar

You would then need to use STM32 Cube Programmer in USB mode, or look at what the Command Line version takes as options on the command line.

You're not going to be able to debug via the USB/DFU methods

so buy a ST-LINK , or another STM-board with ST-LINK onboard.
