SUMMARY
This article describes the ST-LINK hardware probes.
1. Introduction[edit source]
The ST-LINK is an in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families.
The single wire interface module (SWIM) and JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) interfaces are used to communicate with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.
ST-LINK can be embedded on STM boards, and can be also provided in standalone.
2. HW Version[edit source]
Several versions of ST-LINK exists: ST-LINK/V1, ST-LINK/V2 and STLINK-V3SET.
For details about different versions , please refer to the technical note[1] of ST-LINK derivatives.
To check for the ST-LINK version which is embedded in ST boards, you have to refer to the Getting started with ST boards page, and then select your current HW board.
