M1 Macbook pro can't use st-link to run programs

yangyan · ‎2024-11-11

Hello. The following is machine-translated so it might seem a bit strange. I'd like to ask if I can use my only computer, the "MacBook Pro with M1 version", to connect to ST-LINK V2 to program the STM32 on a C8T6 chip's PCB board. I've tried using V1 before but without success. STM32CubeIDE couldn't recognize ST-LINK, and thus it wasn't able to program. I hope you can help me solve this problem. Thank you very much.

Thanks for your reply,I have successfully downloaded CubeIDE and compiled the program. The only problem is that I can't find an ST-LINK that is compatible with the MacBook to connect to the PCB board and perform the programming. I wonder if I can buy st-link v2 to link my Mac book P.S.I'm just a Beginner to study the operation related to single-chip microcomputers.

Does your system have macOS 13 (Ventura) or MacOS 14 (Sonoma) or not?

You've already used in your first post and I don't think there is something prevent you using it.

Also there is no "C8T6" MCU part number, I think this is the final part of the part number. Example STM32F103C8T6.

I suppose you need Mac-specific USB drivers for the ST-Link,
This applies to the standalone version and the onboard version many ST boards come with.

Those drivers are usually not installed with CubeIDE, it must be done separately.

I suggest to start with connecting the ST-Link to your Mac, and check if and how it recognizes the USB device.
I am not a Mac user, so I can't give any further hints - try a google search instead.
