What in-circuit debugger/programmer should I use for STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1?

[Eugene Agustin]

I am using STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1 and I want to do some changes in the firmware.

What in-circuit debugger/programmer should I use? Should I use ST-LINK/V2 or STLINK-V3SET or STLINK-V3MINI?

Please help me. Thank you

Manual says "The board includes the ST-LINK V3 (with UART pins for debugging) compatibility."

Unfortunately no pictures of the back side of the board.

Suggest you contact your local sales office and discuss.

Here is the back side of the board.

Please look at the attached image thank you

No picture attached. Make sure you upload and insert it.

Sorry I forgot to insert.

Thank you

Hi @Eugene Agustin​ , if programming through JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD), I suggest you to use the ST-LINK/V2 programmer because of 1.8V level compatibility with ,ow power STM32L4R9. The HW connection is the connector numbered "8". Board schematic will be available soon on st.com. Regards

Hi @Eleon BORLINI​ ,

I already bought an ST-LINK/V3 since it is the newer version. Am I right that it will work on SensorTile.box for programming?

Thank you

Hi @Eugene Agustin​ , please consider this note, as reported in the SensorTile.box user manual:

>> Note: Your ST-LINK must have the level shifter to function at 1.8 V (the SensorTile.box power supply).

This mean that you should use by now either the STLINK V2 which is 1.8V compatible or the STLINK V3 with level shifters from 3.3V to 1.8V. If you already have a Nucleo board, you can use the onboard JTAG programmer (which is a STLINK V2). However, please consider that an adapter board from STLINK V3 to SensorTile.box will be soon available online.

Another way to program the SensorTile.box is through the dfu mode: you can build your FW and generate the .dfu file, which can be downloaded on the SensorTile.box through the DfuSe. Not the best way to do a debug but it should be only a temporary patch.

Hi @Eugene Agustin​ did you find an answer to your question?

I know the STLINK-V3SET is compatible with the MKSBOX1V1 as per this post.

This document compares STLINK-V3SET and STLINK-V3MINI on Page 2.

Hi @DIM​ 

Not yet.

Thank you for sharing the information. I need some quick start guide or manual on how to use STLINK-V3SET on MKSBOX1V1.

Please note for the sake of completeness that you can now find the Sensortile.box schematic online. Regards

Anything new about adapter board with dedicated level shifters and LDOs for the 1.8V debugging?

In UM2448 chapter 12 B-STLINK-VOLT board extension description shows this but actual board is still missing.

Hi @savimakt​ , good question... I added the ST-LINK Utility and the STLINK-V3 topics to the original question for eventual support. Regards
