STM32Flash

These are cheap development Arm Cortex-M3 boards with 64KB flash and 20KB ram.

The firmware that ships on these devices blinks the LED on PC13 and sends a time string on the UART at 9600 baud.

These boards can be programmed using SWD or with the STM serial boot loader in ROM. Both types of programmer are inexpensive but the latter more versatile if somewhat slower in operation.

Power

Power is supplied on the USB socket which feeds a 3V3 LDO regulator.

It is possible to power the device with 3V3 on the 3V3 pin or 5V on the 5V pin (to feed the LDO) if USB is disconnected.

LED demo

This demo depends on OpenCM3 and this must be installed first.

Install the STLink programmer to program using a SWD interface found, for example, on the STM32 F4 discovery (see top picture).

Fetch blinky, install and run.

STM32Flash

It is also possible to use STM32Flash, however, this cannot function with USB connected since if the chip detects BOOT0 raised along with a USB cable on reset, it enters DFU mode.

To use STM32Flash, disconnect USB and power with 3V3 on the 3V3 pin using a 3V3 USB serial adapter. You must cross over serial Rx and Tx and place the jumpers with BOOT1 at 0 and BOOT0 at 1 (see bottom picture).

Probe the chip with STM32Flash. This may take a few attempts to synchronise.

The flash size reported by STM32Flash would appear to be hard-coded and in this case wrong, ignore that.

Now fetch blinky, install and run.
