How do i convert my STM32F103CBT6 to a ST-LINK ?

[MaddyGitBase]

i have been trying to find ways of converting my stm32f103 board to stlink for a personal project , i  have found out i need to flash the st link firmware onto this chip but i am not really able to understand how to flash this on the board , if someone has any way to do this it would a huge help , i cant really do anything else as i have already printed a pcb for this purpose so if any one has any way to flash the stlink firmware onto the f103 chip it would be huge help  ?

 

the board is stm32f103CBT6 (64KB FLASH + 20KB RAM )

ST does not provide the ST-Link v2 software to use it for an own ST-Link. So I would not expect great results on this idea.

 

Which board? A useless ST-Link fake? It has not all needed pins outside to reflash it (e.g. NRST). But you can open it and access all pins needed directly with good eyes/a microscope and flash whatever you want using a genuine ST-Link. So you can reuse it as some USB device for example...

You have to locate an your F103 board these pins:

- GND

- VDD (3.3V)

- SWCLK (clock for SW download/debug)

- SWDIO (data for SW download/debug)

- NRST (reset the F103)

Then supply 3.3V from somewhere to all VDD of your F103 against GND, connect all pins mentioned above to a genuine ST-Link (one GND is ok, not all GND needed) and you should be able to flash.
