STLink is used to program STM32 CPUs on various ARM boards via a SWD interface.

cd /opt/src/
apt-get install cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/stlink-org/stlink
cd stlink
rehash
cmake .
make
make install
ldconfig
cp config/udev/rules.d/49-stlinkv* /etc/udev/rules.d/
cp config/modprobe.d/stlink_v1.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
udevadm control --reload-rules
udevadm trigger

A simple way to test a device (which no longer works) was to read and discard the data from it.

st-flash read /dev/null 0

Various boards have been tested in this manner below.

Programming interface

For these programming interfaces two jumpers must be removed to disable the internal board connections and allow external programming.
