Windows for ARM processors has been out for 3-4 years now. Most of the recent Surface devices use a Snapdragon ARM processor. I can't seem to find a way to use STM32CubeProgrammer or any other software that requires a DFU connection on these machines. Am I missing something or are there no DFU drivers for Windows ARM?
A DFU driver for Windows ARM may be a different situation than running STM32CubeProgrammer on a Raspberry Pi. STM32CubeProgrammer runs just fine under Windows ARM (emulating x86). And there are some hacks to make the existing x86 drivers work but they are fairly nasty.
Intel has fallen a bit behind when it comes to integrating AI with their CISC processors. The Lenovo ThinkBook and ThinkPad laptop lines, IdeaCenter and ThinkCenter desktops and the Microsoft Surface line are all now mostly SnapDragon ARM processors with integrated AI processors. Apple has already moved on from Intel processors to its own M-series ARM processors. STM32CubeProgrammer and the DFU driver already natively support Mac ARM processors.
Seems like support for Windows ARM is going to be pretty essential unless you want to keep an old x86 machine around just to program your STM devices.
