Bluepill (STM32F103C8T6)

Programming using a SWD ST-Link: make sure the configuration jumpers are configured as BOOT0=0 and BOOT1=0.

SWD interface pinout:

Get the compiler:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi binutils-arm-none-eabi

Build the stlink programming software:

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink
$ cd stlink
$ make

Check that the programmer is detected:

$ sudo ./build/Release/bin/st-info --probe

Get the “blinky light” example from github:

$ git clone https://github.com/satoshinm/pill_blink.git
$ cd pill_blink/opencm
$ make libopencm3
$ make pill_blink.bin

Program the example on the board:

$ sudo ../../stlink/build/Release/bin/st-flash write ./pill_blink.bin 0x8000000

STM32L1-Discovery board

This board can be used to program other boards via SWD, using the embedded ST-Link programmer. Remove the CN2 jumpers when doing this.

SWD interface pinout (on CN3):

+---+------------------+
| 1 | VDD_TARGET       |
| 2 | SWCLK            |
| 3 | GND              |
| 4 | SWDIO            |
| 5 | /RST (optional?) |
| 6 | SWO (reserved)   |
