Most basic setup for SWD to work?

[LubO_o]

Hello, i need help with na stm32l031k6, I want to just start the processor and read it with an st-link v2, I have connected BOOT0 to GND(i haven't added a 10k resistor, but that shouldn't be the problem ), NRST with pull-up 1k to VDD, VDDA and VDD are connected together. From what I read online I can pass without the external crystal because there is an internal one. So when I connect the VDD to 3v3 on the st-link, the GND to the st-link GND, SWCLK to PA14, SWDIO to PA13 and the chip isn't recognized. I have ruled out an faulty st link because it recognizes a blue pill f103 board. Please tell me if I am forgetting something

Rather than try to describe your circuit in words, please use a schematic - it's far clearer.

You also need some decoupling caps.

See the datasheet and AN4467 for power supply connections.

Correct (although, strictly, it's not a crystal - it's an RC oscillator)

What ST-Link do you have?

Note that a genuine ST-Link does not provide power to the target

See: How to recognize a genuine ST-LINK/V2 versus a cloned one

Using what tools?

Show any error messages & logs you get.

 

Note that keeping your wiring short & tidy is important. Wiring should be kept short, neat, and direct - with the minimum of joints.

Be particularly wary of solderless breadboards, cheap "dupont" style headers, etc:

The minimum required connections are GND, SWDIO, SWCLK, and the chip must be powered.

Perhaps a bad programmer or mismatched connections. Works on F103 doesn't mean it works on other chips.

Turns out I have switched the SWDIO and SWCLK pins, otherwise everything worked!
