I am looking forward to making a flight controller using STM32H7ZGT6. But I am in confusion that can I use FTDI FT232RL to program the H7 board which is a USB to Serial Converter. Please help me out, Can I use FT232RL.

Thanks.

    I don't know, can you? It is technically possible, but do you have the skills necessary to do that? Probably not a great choice when a $10 solution exists. Not that obtaining the st-link firmware may be problematic as it isn't published by ST.

    Use a programmer such as ST-LINK/V3MINIE with a SWD connection to the board for development.

    You can program a chip over UART using the built-in bootloader, but you cannot debug it and therefore you cannot develop efficiently.
