Workflow to debug original blue pill (STM32F103C8T6) board using STLink V3 SET

[OB]

Hi everyone,

beginning the embedded systems journey has been fun, thanks to starting out with Nucleo board STM32L412RB-P. It's got an on board debugger (like any other nucleo board) which certainly abstracts the hardware nitty gritties required to setting up. Again, thanks to the rich ST community, one could find tonnes of resources and help readily available when stuck. I decided to take a little step further by purchasing a bluepill (original) and an STLink V3 SET (original). To my surprise, there hasn't been useful resources (in my opinion) on how to set these two up. Wherever the bluepill is mentioned, some stlink V2 (original or clone) follows. So I'm turning to this rich ST community, as trivial as this may seem, help me out of this quagmire. How do I do a simple debug, flash etc on my bluepill using STLink V3 SET using SWD. Thanks
