    This thread relates to a so-called Blue Pill, which uses illegally cloned STM32F103. ST resources are only dedicated to supporting genuine ST products. We are not committed to ensuring that clones/fakes products work properly with the firmware we provide.

    We recommend to purchase genuine products from STMicroelectronics and purchase them from known and trusted distributors.

    It is STM32F103C8T6 blue pill. This board is supported by Arduino IDE.

    Or it could be a fake.

    You'd try connecting with an ST-LINK via the SWDIO, SWCLK, NRST, VCC, GND, etc

    With BOOT0=HIGH the USB connector might present as "STM32 BOOT DEVICE" or similar, and you can program via USB/DFU mode in STM32 Cube Programmer.

    Or you have some kind of Arduino or mbed loader on it, and you can deliver firmware via their IDE, or as a drag-n-drop USB MSC Device.
