No STM32 Found on ST Link V2 JTAG Port

[sdobbie]

Before ST started bricking counterfeit st link V2 units, I was able to program my board without issue. I bought a confirmed genuine ST Link V2 from RS components and connected it exactly as shown, but it never connects to the target and all I can get is this output or an error which says no target found. I managed to upgrade the ST link firmware so it is connecting to the PC normally.

Your setup is incomplete. E.g. VCAP capacitors are missing and so the core will not work. Try first to connect to a  known working device, than correct you schematics , the try again.

I forgot to mention that I have omitted all the power supply components from the schematic for the sake of simplicity. The board worked well on the fake ST link before ST started breaking them.

VCAP both need 2u2F

You also need to connect VTarget to the 3.3V supply for the authentic ST-LINK/V2 so that the voltage reads closer to 3V rather than 1V

Your suggestion of connecting VTarget to 3.3v solved the problem. Thank you!
