+++ Notes on using an Aluminium case ST Link v2 clone as a development board. In summary, it can:

  • Talk to the host over USB
  • Blink the built-in LED (!)
  • Drive a RGB LED via PWM
  • Drive a 40 RGB LED pHAT over SPI
  • Drive a 320x240 LCD over fast bitbanged SPI

Programming

I used a Segger J-Link to load the pre-built STM32duino bootloader. As the LED is on PA9, use the generic_boot20_pa9.bin version.

Pins

Function Pin Feedback pin
RST PB6 PB5
SWDIO PB14 PB12
SWCLK PA5 + PB13 None
SWIM PB8 + PB11 PB7 + PB9 + PB10
LED PA9 N/A

The 'feedback' pins have an extra 100 R to 680 R resistor between the main pin and the feedback pin. I assume this is used to detect if the DUT is driving the pin at the same time as the debugger.

Functions

Port Default alternate Remap alternate
PA5 SPI1_SCK, ADC12_IN5 None
PA9 (LED) USART1_TX, TIM1_CH2 None
PB5 I2C1_SMBAI TIM3_CH2, SPI1_MOSI
PB6 I2C1_SCL, TIM4_CH1 USART1_TX
PB8 TIM4_CH3 I2C1_SCL, CANRX
PB7 I2C1_SDA, TIM4_CH2 USART1_RX
PB9 TIM4_CH4 I2C1_SDA, CANTX
PB10 I2C2_SCL, USART3_TX TIM2_CH3
PB11 I2C2_SDA, USART3_RX TIM2_CH4
PB12 SPI2_NSS, I2C2_SMBAI, USART3_CK, TIM1_BKIN None
PB13 SPI2_SCK, USART3_CTS, TIM1_CH1N None
PB14 SPI2_MISO, USART3_RTS, TIM1_CH2N None

Or, transposed:

Function Available features But...
I2C1 SCL, SCL, SDA SDA is behind a 680R (might be OK)
I2C2 SDA, SMBAI, SDA No SCK
SPI1 SCK, MOSI MOSI is on a remap, and remap is all or nothing
SPI2 SCK, MISO, NSS
USART1 TX, RX Usable
USART3 RX, CTS, RTS, CK, TX TX and RX are on the same pin
