How to download the code to the microcontroller?

Posted on February 10, 2017 at 04:47

I am a beginner in stm32 and I don't understand that how to download the code to the microcontroller.

I am also confused about JLink, SWD and st-link. What's the differences between them?

Where can I find these information on the datasheet?

Thank you!

SWD and JTAG are connectivity methods into the debug support contained within the chip.

The ST-LINK, J-LINK, U-LINK, etc are debugger pods that connect via the SWD/JTAG connection described above.

You'd want to review the Technical Reference Manuals, and associated data, related to the core provided by ARM, rather than the Data Sheets from ST

the nucleo and discovery boards are mbed-enabled. just drag the compiled .bin file to it and the st-link built in to the boards does the work.
