I designed a pcb adapter for this board in order to use it with my V2 based project, I’ll received soon this pcb from JLCPCB but I find no way to buy a board :

ST website distributor stock informations are wrong,

Digikey as 0 in stock

Farnell has’nt got the product registered

Could ST sell me one via its shop or where can I find one ?, as a person not a corporate.

thanks

    I've shipped cases of NUCLEO's out of Europe as an "individual", never really had a problem, beyond signing an export doc.

    If they require a business name just give "Not Specified", or ship Care Of (C/O) a business address, like "C/O The UPS Store"

    Yes, I'd have thought you could float the few parts of the backside of the ST-LINK/V3MINI, or solder some pins in a cage format to stand proud of the target board.

    It is always a good idea to procure the needed parts before ordering the PCB.

    Thanks, but Rutronik , which was previously annonced by ST web site, is for corporate only.

    Those boards are annonced by ST since some months and are still unavailable. 

    Mouser should have some in few weeks, but it's not confirmed.

    Where to buy ?

    If you don't have a contact at your local ST office, you can just back order on DigiKey and Mouser and have then sent as soon as they come into stock.

    Perhaps you can modify a StlinkV3 mini.

    Argh, availability is also only with non-private sellers. Perhaps watch

    Apparently no stock nowhere:

    replenishment probably under way... even the MINI seems sold out.

    Thanks all for your answers and thanks to Clive1 to escaladate the case.

    STLinkV3 with its 24Mbps throughput is becoming very attractive with recently released ST debugging product STCubeMonitor.

    Modifiyng a V3mini is not an option I’ll attempt, because V3mini has more parts installed on the pc than the V3MODS even thought it provide less capabilities. Without the schematics and without knowing if there are software differences between both board it’s a much to random trial.

    I will wait for Mouser...

    Hello,

    I checked internally and would like to inform you that current planning is to have STLinkV3 MODS boards available by the end of April 2020 (cross fingers not to delay it again because of the WW situation).

    Thanks Amel,

    Mouser received 43 boards today, but they immediately disappeared, some orders were pending....arghhh.

    They plan to receive 51 soon, so I placed my order and cross finger...

    does ST plan to release schematics of those boards ?

    Mouser US had 40 this morning, 35 now, ordered a handful, should be delivered by Thursday

    I do have some of the V3/MINI boards on hand.

    But as reported before, Stlinkv3 e.g. with pyocd does not connect to running targets while Stlinkv2 does. Connect under reset works, but that way you loos program state.
