STEVAL-MKI109V3 dfu issue

Hi, I recently bought a STEVAL-MKI109V3 with STEVAL-MKI208V1K. My pc runs on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

I've installed the Unico GUI, but when selecting the STEVAL-MKI208V1K in the Unico, it says "Port not open. Please, check the board is connected."

I've tried the firmware DFU update, but when running the Step 5 of the STEVAL-MKI109V3 manual, I get "dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available". I've tried different USB ports and cables. I believe the device is in DFU mode, because the green D1 LED doesn't blinks (if I connect normally it blinks).

Please your comments and help, thanks.

Regards,

    HI @Eleon BORLINI​, my mistake, I had an error in the c++ code, now I can communicate to the STEVAL-MKI208V1K.

    To close this subject, in my case it was easier and simpler to make direct communication with STEVAL-MKI208V1K using Arduino than through STEVAL-MKI109V3 and Unico GUI (using a Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS notebook).

    Thanks,

    Hi @FCook.1​ ,

    Are you using STM32CubeProgrammer for configuring the STEVAL-MKI109V3?

    Did you check if the board is seen from the PC?

    Hi, thanks for your answer. No, I was trying the DFU update as specified in https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/steval-mki109v3.html#documentation

    But your are right, the board is not seen from the PC (Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS system). I run usb-devices in Terminal and it doesn't appears (I've checked the port works with my mouse).

    Which is strange, since the board LED lights up.

    Do you any recommendation? In the meantime I will try in a Windows PC.

    HI @FCook.1​ ,

    this might be only the power LED, that lights up when the power is plugged.

    I use the tool on Windows, so I might be able to better help you whether something gets wrong with Windows.

    I would suggest you to use the STM32CubeProgrammer software for Linux, after putting the board in DFU mode, as described in the user manual, and uninstall the DFuSe drivers, if you ever installed them.
