Hi all,

I have a question about the ST-Link debugger/programmer.

Can it be used with any Cortex-M MCU from other manufacturers or is somehow specific to the STM32 family?

Thank you in advance for your support.

    ,

    The ST-LINK debugger and programmer is specific for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families.

    IMHO at least worth a try.

    About three years ago, I successfully flashed and debugged an NXP1343 (Cortex M3) with a severed on-board ST-Link.

    However, the firmware (and hardware) changed at the meantime. Not sure if that still holds with current versions ..

    Both

      and

    https://github.com/texane/stlink

      know the Stlink and can debug/program also a lot of other devices via SWD.

    You can also reflash
