Question

How to distinguish multiple Nucleo "removable drives"?

When you plug a Nucleo board into a Windows PC, it pops up as a removable drive - with the drive name helpfully set to identify the type of Nucleo; eg,

0693W000007COQeQAO.pngWhich is great if they are different types of Nucleo.

Not so much if you have more than one of the same type:

So how can we tell which one is which when we have more than one of the same type?

The Drive letter is no use - as that can change.

Any changes to the label are not saved - it reverts to default next time the board is plugged in.

    Hi Andy,

    Good to see you here.

    Try http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html . You can select a mode when only "devices with drive letters" are displayed, and they all appear to have a unique serial number (maybe derived from the STLink's STM32F103 uniqueID?).
