SensorTile.box and ST-LINK/V2 programmer adapter and cable

[DWind.1]

Hi!

I found a thread that says thtat the ST-LINK/V2 can be used as in circuit programmer.

SensorTile.box firmware OTA function restore documentation says that the programmer, a  JTAG adapter board V1.0 and a Flat cable to connect JTAG adapter to SensorTile.box is needed.

The SensorTile.box user manual says in chaper 3.3: "... and the most recent release of the Sensortile.box includes an adapter board and cable for the ST-LINK/V2 programming and debugging device."

I ordered two devices of the SensorTile.box but there was no adapter or cable included. Can you give me information where to get those? I could not find them anywhere as separate parts. Are they part of the STLink/V2 package?

And another question: There is a UART for debugging purposes on SensorTile.box pins available. Can I use the STLink/V2 directly to read from those pins with my PC and a serial console? Or do I need a separate converter?

Best wishes,

Dominik

Hi @DWind.1​ , when did you ordered the two SensorTile.box packs? If you did in the last period, you should have received something like the kit depicted here below:

Hi! I ordered 08.01.2020 at Mouser. I received a package like in this video: https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/unboxing-the-sensortile-box-from-stmicroelectronics-1 without adapter and cable.

Hi Dominik, maybe the Mouser stock was not provided by the newest SensorTile.box kits, in that date.

Can you please share me your address? We can ship you one adapter + one cable (at least when the lockdown is over).

Regarding your other question:

>> There is a UART for debugging purposes on SensorTile.box pins available. Can I use the STLink/V2 directly to read from those pins with my PC and a serial console? Or do I need a separate converter?

Please note that the STLINK-V2 is not capable of UART communication for the debugging, but you need the STLINK-V3 programmer. However, STLINK-V3 is 3V compatible, while SensorTile.box is 1.8V compatible. This adapter with the digital level shifters will be soon available online.

Hi

Can i program the sensortile.Box using J-link instead of STlink ?

Hello Eleon,

Uhm strange... let me check internally...

@DWind.1​ , sorry for the delay, we have had an issue in our stores related to the shipment of the STWIN adapter. Should manage the shipment by next days...

The same here, I ordered one @ mouser last week and received this. I need to upload the software, the unit lost control during an over-air code update.

Same as well. No adapter, no cable. Shipped from Mouser 2wks back

Hi @KPauw.1, @avoyt.1​ , I'll ship you a cable if you share me your shipment address. You can use the private message section. Regards

I am also in the position of not receiving the adapter mentioned. I purchased my sensortile.box from Mouser.

Hi @wpauloods​ ,

did you also purchased it in the last year? If so, please write to me in the message section, top right of this page, under the profile picture.

Hi all,

same problem here: we have ordered and received two sensortile.box SoCs a few months ago, from RS online https://it.rs-online.com/web/

the two sensortile.box kits were missing the adapter and cable to connect them to the ST-Link/v2 programmers

how can we get TWO much needed adapters/cables? (by ordering and paying for them if necessary)

thank you in advance,

Gianluca

Hi Gianluca @GTort.1​ ,

please write to me in the message section, top right of this page, under the profile picture, so we can manage your case.

Cables and adapters will be available soon online as stand-alone products to be purchased but it will take at least some weeks.
