Different HW-Versions of ST-Link/V2

[Eric_Z]

Hello Forum,

recently I bought me a new ST-Link/V2 to program and debug a STM32L4. I tried to connect the programmer with the MCU, but it didn't work. Now I tried it with a different programmer and I could establish a connection to the STM32L4. After that I tried to connect the new programmer with a STM32G0 and this also works.

Version of new programmer: ST-Link/V2 A2020 03

Version of old programmer: ST-Link/V2 B2017 15

Both programmers have the same Firmware Version.

Could anyone please tell me where the error is?

Kind regards

Eric

Carefully and double check all connections, USB cables and USB ports, I do not think there is a real functional difference in both versions.

Are these authentic or clones?

Watch that you're powering pins 1 or 2 with VTarget so as to power the buffers.

If you've got cheap clones like this from ebay or the like:

beware that there are at least two different pinouts on otherwise identical-looking products!

Hello,

thank you for your answers. But a few weeks ago I talked to an ST employee and showed him the schematic of the STML4. I forgot the 100 nF capacitor at Reset...

Kind regards

Thanks for the update - it would have been helpful if you had said that earlier!
