STLINK-V3SET vs ST-LINK/V2

Hi,

I'm developing a new project using the STM32H723; I have to decide between the STLINK-V3SET and the ST-LINK/V2, may you help me to understand the main differences ?

If I choose the V3SET, do I need to add any additional module ?

 

Thank you, best regards.

I would strongly recommend that you spend some time browsing the Documentation tab on the Product Page for the particular chip you use - there will be lots of application notes and other info there.

And, as @Uwe Bonnes said, spend some time with an ST board to gain familiarity with the part and the tools.

stlink V3 allows you to install programs faster. 480 Mbit speed support instead of 12 Mbit via USB also allows more data flow while debugging and installing programs.

Thank you Muhammed,

 

do I need to add any additional module (for debugging and programming) to the V3 ?

The adapter card for compatibility with STLINK-V2 is included in the set.
I have an additional ISOL module to the STLINK-V3 set. STLINK-V3 does not work with cheap USB isolators. If you need isolation, you may consider purchasing this module.
