ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32

The ST-LINK/V2 is an in-circuit debugger and programmer designed for STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families. It supports both the single wire interface module (SWIM) for STM8 and the JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) interfaces for STM32, making it versatile for various development needs.

  Features:  

• Power Supply: 5V power supplied via a USB connector.
• USB Compatibility: USB 2.0 full-speed compatible interface.
• Voltage Support:
  • SWIM interface: 1.65V to 5.5V application voltage.
  • JTAG/SWD interface: 1.65V to 3.6V application voltage, 5V tolerant inputs.
• Modes: Supports both low speed and high-speed modes on the SWIM interface.
• Direct Firmware Update: Facilitates easy firmware updates.
• Status LED: Blinks during communication with the PC to indicate active data transfer.
• Isolation Option: The ST-LINK/V2-ISOL variant offers digital isolation up to 1000 Vrms between the PC and the target application board.

  Software Compatibility:  

• STM8 Applications: Communicates with ST Visual Develop (STVD) or ST Visual Program (STVP) software using the USB full-speed interface.
• STM32 Applications: Compatible with integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Atollic, IAR, Keil, and TASKING via USB full-speed interface.

  Specifications:  

• Input Supply Voltage: 1.65V to 5.5V.
• USB Type: USB A to Mini-B cable.
• LED Indicator: Status LED for communication indication.

  Package Includes:  

• ST-LINK/V2 Unit: The main debugging and programming unit.
• USB Cable: USB standard A to mini B cable for connecting to the PC.
• Connecting Cable: Cable for STM8 SWIM and STM32 JTAG/SWD protocol.
• Flat Ribbon Cable: A flat ribbon with a standard ERNI connector at one end (20-pin connector for JTAG/SWD and SWV).

  Usage:  

1. Connect to PC: Use the USB standard A to mini B cable to connect the ST-LINK/V2 to your computer.
2. Connect to Target Board:
   • For STM8, use the SWIM interface.
   • For STM32, use the JTAG/SWD interface.
3. Software Setup:
   • For STM8, install and use ST Visual Develop (STVD) or ST Visual Program (STVP).
   • For STM32, use compatible IDEs such as Atollic, IAR, Keil, or TASKING.
4. Programming and Debugging:
   • Ensure the target microcontroller is properly connected and powered.
   • Use the corresponding software to load programs, set breakpoints, and debug.

  Applications:  

• Microcontroller Development: Ideal for developing and debugging firmware for STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers.
• Educational Projects: Suitable for learning and teaching microcontroller programming and debugging.
• Embedded Systems Prototyping: Useful for prototyping and testing embedded systems.

This ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer is a critical tool for anyone working with STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers, providing reliable and efficient development and debugging capabilities.
