  • The board is getting heated and st-link not detected error is getting popped one i connect usb power supply.
  • I unable to find the reason for its failure.I have attached my custom board schematic.
  • Now I want make another custom board with external debugger what changes I have to make in the schematic to make my board work like disc1 board.

What is getting hot ?  F429 , F103, or both ?

(Typical for a fried cpu is "heat", maybe overvoltage on a pin or by ESD ... )

just see a "BlackPill" circuit, attached, for F4xx, this is what you want ;

+

a working st-link , you need then.

Just...not the full JTAG , only swd/swc is fine:

  • Please suggest  which debugger to use.
  • To use UART can I make use of debugger or should I use usb to ttl converters.

Debug in IDE ? GDB or OCD . (I dont understand your question...)

Depends on the debug probe, you want to use: st-linkV3 has serial , rx /tx at 3v3 level.

If your st-link dont have serial, need a usb to ttl converter to use usartX for tx/rx to PC terminal program.
