STLINK-V3MINI, compact in-circuit debugger / programmer for STM32 (WS-17521)

Description

• The STLINK-V3MINI is stand-alone debugging and programming mini probe for STM32 microcontrollers.
• The JTAG/SWD interfaces are used to communicate with any STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.
• The STLINK-V3MINI also provides a Virtual COM port interface allowing the host PC to communicate with the target microcontroller through one UART.
• The STLINK-V3MINI is a portable version, easy-to-use debugger/programmer including STDC14 interface with its flat cable.

Key Features

• Stand-alone probe
• Approximately 15 x 30 mm high-density integration PCB, very small form factor
• Self-powered through a Micro-B USB connector (does not provide power supply to the target application)
• USB 2.0 high-speed compatible interface
• Direct firmware update (DFU) support, to use with more future devices
• JTAG / serial wire debugging (SWD) specific features:
  • 3 V to 3.6 V application voltage support and 5 V tolerant inputs
  • Delivered with 1.27 mm pitch STDC14 to STDC14 flat cable
  • Additional adapter board and 2.54 mm pitch 20-pin JTAG/SWD flat cable (extra accessories from Waveshare)
  • SWD and serial wire viewer (SWV) communication support
• Virtual COM port (VCP) specific features:
  • 3 V to 3.6 V application voltage support on the UART interface and 5 V tolerant inputs
  • VCP frequency up to 15 MHz
• Drag-and-drop Flash programming
• Two color LEDs: communication, power
• Includes STDC14 signals protection

Connect to PC

The STLINK-V3MINI should be connected to the PC via a USB Micro-B cable.

• Before connecting, install/update the ST-LINK toolset to support the STLINK-V3MINI (drivers)
• STLINK-V3MINI adopts an STM32 F7 microcontroller, supports USB2.0 high speed communication

Connect to STM32 applications

The STLINK-V3MINI can be connected to STM32 target applications on JTAG / SWD interfaces.

• Connection Method A: connect to target application directly via the onboard STDC14 connector.
• Connection Method B: connect to target application via the STLINK-V3MINI Adapter board.

STLINK-V3MINI LED Status

• COM LED is blinking RED: the first USB enumeration with the PC is taking place.
• COM LED is RED: communication between STLINK-V3MINI and the PC is established (end of enumeration).
• COM LED is blinking GREEN/RED: data are being exchanged between the target and the PC.
