6.1 Embedded ST-LINK/V2-1
The ST-LINK/V2-1 programming and debugging tool is integrated on the
STM32F746G-DISCO discovery board. Compared to ST-LINK/V2 the changes are listed
below.
The new features supported on ST-LINK/V2-1 are:
• USB software reenumeration
• Virtual Com port interface on USB
• Mass storage interface on USB
• USB power management request for more than 100 mA power on USB
These features are no more supported on ST-LINK/V2-1:
• SWIM interface
• Application voltage lower than 3 V
For all general information concerning debugging and programming features common
between V2 and V2-1 refer to ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer for STM8 and
STM32 User manual (UM1075).
6.1.1 Drivers
The ST-LINK/V2-1 requires a dedicated USB driver, which, for Windows XP, 7 and 8, can be
found at www.st.com.
In case the STM32F746G-DISCO discovery board is connected to the PC before the driver
is installed, some STM32F746G-DISCO interfaces may be declared as “unknown” in the PC
device manager. In this case the user must install the driver files, and update the driver of
the connected device from the device manager.
Note: Prefer using the “USB Composite Device” handle for a full recovery.
