Never (by me at least). That is why I included the header for an ESP-01 (ESP8266) on the backpack. |

Pete - in your latest manual for this, page 6, it mentions I need to download ST-LINK, but the link is dead in the PDF. It is blue like a link, but it links nowhere.  I went to the ST site, but there are about five or six "ST-LINK" softwares to choose from. I assume I need the one that is labelled ST-LINK004? Smoke makes things work.

Shouldn't be a link as the page may move, I'll fix in next version. Correct |

I just tried setting up my laptop with ST-LINK and a new, straight from the box NUCLEO board. There was no previous ST software or drivers on the laptop so virgin territory. It was easy. Download STM32 ST-LINK Utility (en.stsw-link004.zip) Extract the setup file and run it. It will install the required drivers during the setup. Start ST-link Plug in the Nucleo board. It works out-of-the-box without touching any jumpers. Ignore the Windows ‘What will I do now?’ message. Click on ‘Target/Connect’ It is advisable to do a full erase Target/Erase Chip Go to ‘File/Open file’ and open the armite.hex firmware file. Go to ‘Target/Program and Verify’ When that's done. ‘Target/disconnect’ Close the program and open up your preferred terminal program. You might get some initial garbage in the serial stream. It’s really that simple. IF you have more than one device connected, you can chose which one in the settings menu. It would be a good idea to stick with one at a time. The serial numbers aren't written on the devices anywhere. External power will be required once you start adding displays etc. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Just started reading the Manual in my preparation to drive into this board. I notice that on page 8 of the latest manual that DB0 and DB1 are both listed as Pin-141 and DB10 and DB11 at Pin-64? Should DB1 = Pin-142 and PE10 = Pin-63? DB0 Pin-141 (PE0) DB8 Pin-59 (PE8) WR Pin-125 (PG10) DB1 Pin-141 (PE1) DB9 Pin-60 (PE9) RS Pin-57 (PG11) DB2 Pin-1 (PE2) DB10 Pin-64 (PE10) RESET Pin-127 (PG12) DB3 Pin-2 (PE3) DB11 Pin-64 (PE11) RD Pin-128 (PG13) * Or have I misunderstood something?

You are correct. There is an error on page 6 of the manual. The table in the manual with all the pins listed is correct. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks for the step-by-step, Jim. I have ordered my board, and have installed the software. Just need to wait a few days for it(the board) to arrive from Element-14. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Just followed Jim's helpful 'step-by-step' only to find STLink won't run on MacOS QUESTION 1: Does anyone know if there a version of STLink-004 (or equivalent) that runs on MacOS? My decent Windows 10 laptop recently failed (SSD drive became too worn out). So for the minimal work I currently do with Windows (MMEdit and Pic32Prog) I re-instated an old Vista Laptop. QUESTION 2: Does anyone know if STLink successfully works with Vista; or do I finally need to go out and by another Windows laptop?  WW |

Please can someone let me know the physical size of the Nucleo STM32H743ZI module (including height!) I have searched on all data sheets but have not seen it anywhere (yet). Thanks. WW |

Page 14 of UM1974 "User Manual STM32 Nucleo-144 boards" width 70mm length 133.4mm height - depend on headers fitted but not less than 19mm as supplied |

Hi all, also just got mine going - arrived about 20 minutes ago. Also removed the suggested links in Peters manual after looking up what each one did, it all makes sense now. Only problem I had was when it was first plugged in one of the information lines said "debug in low power mode enabled", while I was reading what to do next it disconnected with a message to open Target - Settings and click "Debug in low power mode" That deselected low power debug, powered up again and it didn't disconnect this time, and the line had changed to something like debug normal mode? Thoughts As Groster said of TassyJims quote - It really is that simple. Now to connect a 7" display, external power and select some I/O ports for my program and see if it will run (after removing 2 or 3 things from the program that are not applicable to this MM.Basic version and processor. Thanks to all for making this simple. Mike NANO Inverter: Full download - Only Hex Ver 8.1Ks |

I have a question about LD4, it stays red for quite some time before turning green. This causes the link to between MM.edit and the board to drop when it changes. I reconnect MM.edit and it communicates again and stays that way until next power up. Red LED on: when the initialization between the PC and ST-LINK/V2-1 is complete Green LED on: after a successful target communication initialization. Although the above is talking about ST-LINK, I am of course now using a terminal program after successfully programming the chip. 1: Is this normal? anyone else seeing this? 2: Should I start another thread so as not to get this one on of topic. Mike. EDIT I bought two of these as I got free overnight delivery if spending above $50, calculated the second one would only be around $22.00 if bought two. Anyway this looks normal, the 2nd unit straight out of the box, plugged in, preloaded demo has flashing red user led, pressed user button to cycle to blue led, waited for the COM led to go green, when it does the thing resets and the user program restarts with the red user led flashing.

I was just playing around to make sure I was configuring ports correctly and reading pin assignments correctly. I had a short test program reading the blue user button and driving the 3 user LEDS. I made the mistake of setting option autorun on, there was absolutely no way to break out of the small test program. Had to reflash. Now after reprogramming the chip, (verify while programming) something has changed. Option default none Option explicit option autorun on SETPIN 7,INTH,EXITINT ' user button SetPin 137,dout ' Blue LED SetPin 75,dout ' Red LED SetPin 46,dout ' Green LED Do Pin(46) = 1 Pause 200 Pin(137) = 1 Pause 200 Pin(75) = 1 Pause 200 Pin(46)= 0 Pause 200 Pin(137) = 0 Pause 200 Pin(75) = 0 Loop SUB EXITINT Pin(46)= 0 Pin(137) = 0 Pin(75) = 0 END END SUB If I enable autorun then the program fails on reset with an error: SetPin 7,INTH,EXITINT Error: Cannot find label However if I type run, it works perfectly? surely I'm doing something stupid, can someone enlighten me (I'm not well) that's my excuse.

OPTION AUTORUN ON is normally only run at the command prompt - unless the ARM-mite is different here.... I've just tried your code, and I get the exact same error. If I RUN the code from the console, I get three pretty LED lights.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Having autorun there was my mistake, I forgot to take it out of the listing. Thanks for trying that - I also tried it on the MM 100 (different pins) and it works as it should. Like I said, it was just a quick play around and I didn't expect this? NANO Inverter: Full download - Only Hex Ver 8.1Ks |

From the manual This should let you recover from a rouge autorun. I expect that using pin 7 on autorun is confusing the reset code. To test, you could put a big pause at the start of your program. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
