6.2 Embedded ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B)

The ST-LINK/V2 on PCB version A or B or the ST-LINK/V2-B on PCB version C is
embedded as a programming and debugging tool. Virtual COM port and USB mass storage
features are supported by the ST-LINK/V2-B only.
The embedded ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) supports only SWD for STM32 devices. For
information about debugging and programming features, refer to ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit
debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32, User manual (UM1075), which describes in
detail all the ST-LINK/V2 features.
The changes in ST-LINK/V2-B versus ST-LINK/V2 version are listed below. New features
supported on ST-LINK/V2-B are:
• Virtual Com port interface on USB
• Mass storage interface on USB
The embedded-on-board features not supported either on ST-LINK/V2 or on
ST-STLINK/V2-B are:
• SWIM interface
• Minimum supported application voltage limited to 3 V
• USB power management request for more than 100 mA power on USB
Known limitation:
Activating the readout protection on the STM32 target prevents the target application from
running afterward. The readout protection must be kept disabled on the STM32 target.
There are two different ways to use the embedded ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B), depending on the
jumper states (see Table 4):
• Programming/debugging the STM32 on board (refer to Section 6.2.4: Using ST-
LINK/V2 (or V2-B) to program/debug the on-board STM32F303VCT6)
• Programming/debugging the STM32 in an external application board, using a cable
connected to SWD connector CN2 (refer to Section 6.2.5: Using ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B)
to program/debug an external STM32 application)

6.2.1 Drivers
The ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) requires a dedicated USB driver, which, for Windows® XP, 7, 8,
can be found at the www.st.com website. In case the STM32 Discovery is connected to the
PC before the driver is installed, some Discovery interfaces may be declared as ‘Unknown’
in the PC device manager. In this case, the user must install the driver files, and from the
device manager, he must update the driver of the connected device (see Figure 6).
Note: Prefer using the ‘USB Composite Device’ handle for a full recovery.

6.2.2 ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) firmware upgrade

The ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) embeds a firmware upgrade mechanism for an in-situ upgrade
through the USB port. As the firmware may evolve during the lifetime of the ST-LINK/V2 (or
V2-B) product (for example new functionalities, bug fixes, support for new microcontroller
families), it is recommended to visit the www.st.com website, before starting to use the
Discovery board and periodically, to stay up-to-date with the latest firmware version.

6.2.3 VCP configuration

The ST-LINK/V2-B on STM32F3DISCOVERY supports virtual Com port (VCP) on U2 pin 12
(ST-LINK_TX) and U2 pin 13 (ST-LINK_RX), which are connected to the STM32F303 MCU
target STM32 USART1 (PC4, PC5), thanks to SB13 and SB15 solder bridges.
The SB13 (PC4) and SB15 (PC5) default configurations for STM32F3DISCOVERY are
given in Table 6: Solder bridges.

6.2.4 Using ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) to program/debug the on-board

STM32F303VCT6
To program the STM32F303VCT6 MCU on the board, simply plug in the two jumpers
marked in red on CN4, as shown in Figure 7: STM32F3DISCOVERY connections, but do
not use the CN3 connector as that could disturb the communication with the
STM32F303VCT6 of the STM32F3DISCOVERY.

6.2.5 Using ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) to program/debug an external STM32

application
It is very easy to use the ST-LINK/V2 (or V2-B) to program the STM32 on an external
application. Simply remove the two jumpers from CN4 as shown in Figure 8: ST-LINK/V2 (or
V2-B) connections, and connect the application to the CN3 debug connector according to
Table 5.
Note: SB7 must be OFF if the CN3 pin 5 is used in an external application.

6.3 Power supply and power selection

The power supply is provided either by the host PC through the USB cable, or by an
external 5 V power supply.
The D1 and D2 diodes protect the 5 V and 3 V pins from external power supplies.
• 5 V and 3 V can be used as output power supplies when another application board is
connected to pins P1 and P2. In this case, the 5 V and 3 V pins deliver a 5 V or 3 V
power supply and power consumption must be lower than 100 mA.
• 5 V and 3 V can also be used as input power supplies, for example when the USB
connectors are not connected to the PC. In this case, the STM32F3DISCOVERY board
must be powered by a power supply unit or by auxiliary equipment complying with the
standard EN-60950-1: 2006+A11/2009, and must be Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
with limited power capability.
Note: The board can be also powered through the USB USER connector and it is protected by D4
and D5 diodes when both USBs are connected (in which case, the 5 V power is around 4.4
volts).

6.4 LEDs
• LD1 PWR: Red LED indicates that the board is powered.
• LD2 COM: LD2 default status is red. LD2 turns to green to indicate that
communications are in progress between the PC and the ST-LINK/V2.
• User LD3: Red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE9 of the STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD4: Blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE8 of the STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD5: Orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE10 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD6: Green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE15 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD7: Green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE11 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD8: Orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE14 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD9: Blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE12 of the STM32F303VCT6.
• User LD10: Red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE13 of the
STM32F303VCT6.

6.5 Push-buttons
• B1 USER: user and wake-up button connected to the I/O PA0 of the STM32F303VCT6.
• B2 RESET: push-button connected to NRST is used to RESET the STM32F303VCT6.

6.6 USB device supported

The STM32F303VCT6 MCU is also used to drive the second USB Mini-B connector (USB
USER), which allows the board to be used as a USB Device. The STM32F3DISCOVERY
can then act as a USB joystick, mouse, or another similar device. If both USBs are
connected, diodes D4 and D5 protect the board and use the power from the USB ST-LINK.
The board can be powered through this USB USER connector, then LED1 PWR lights,
LED2 COM blinks and it can run an application in standalone mode.

6.7 ST MEMS E-compass (ST MEMS LSM303DLHC or

LSM303AGR)
The LSM303DLHC is an ultra-compact low-power system-in-package featuring a 3D digital
linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. It includes a sensing element
and an IC interface able to provide the measured acceleration to the external world through
an I2C serial interface.
The LSM303DLHC has dynamically user-selectable full scales of ±2g/±8g and is capable of
measuring acceleration, and a magnetic field full scale from ±1.3g to 8.1g with an output
data rate of 100 Hz or 400 Hz.
The LSM303AGR has linear acceleration full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and a magnetic
field dynamic range of ±50 gauss with an output data rate of 100 kHz, 400 kHz, 1 MHz, and
3.4 MHz.
The STM32F303VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the I2C interface.

6.8 ST MEMS Gyroscope (ST MEMS L3GD20 or I3G4250D)

The L3GD20 is an ultra-compact, low-power, three-axis-angular-rate sensor. It includes a
sensing element and an IC interface able to provide the measured angular rate to the
external world through the I2C/SPI serial interface.
The L3GD20 has dynamically user-selectable full scales of ±250 dps/±500 dps/±2000 dps
and is capable of measuring rates.
The I3G4250D has a selectable full scale ±245/±500/±2000 dps and is capable of
measuring rates with a user-selectable bandwidth.
The STM32F303VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the SPI interface.

6.9 JP3 (Idd)

Jumper JP3, labeled Idd, allows the measurement of the consumption of the
STM32F303VCT6 by removing the jumper and connecting an ammeter.
• Jumper ON: STM32F303VCT6 is powered (default).
• Jumper OFF: An ammeter must be connected to measure the STM32F303VCT6
current. If there is no ammeter, the STM32F303VCT6 is not powered.

7 STM32F3DISCOVERY information

7.1 Product marking

The sticker located on the top or bottom side of the PCB board shows the information about
product identification such as board reference, revision, and serial number.
The first identification line has the following format: ‘MBxxxx-Variant-yzz’, where ‘MBxxxx’ is
the board reference, “Variant” (optional) identifies the mounting variant when several exist,
‘y’ is the PCB revision and ‘zz’ is the assembly revision: for example B01.
The second identification line is the board serial number used for traceability.
Evaluation tools marked as “ES” or “E” are not yet qualified and therefore not ready to be
used as reference design or in production. Any consequences deriving from such usage will
not be at ST charge. In no event, ST will be liable for any customer usage of these
engineering sample tools as reference designs or in production.
“E” or “ES” marking examples of location:
• On the target STM32 that is soldered on the board (for illustration of STM32 marking,
refer to the STM32 datasheet “Package information” paragraph at the www.st.com
website).
• Next to the evaluation tool ordering part number that is stuck or silk-screen printed on
the board.
The board reference for the STM32F3DISCOVERY base board is MB1035.
