ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32

Introduction
The ST-LINK/V2 is an in-circuit debugger/programmer for the STM8 and STM32 microcontroller families. The single wire interface module (SWIM) and JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) interfaces, facilitate communication with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.
In addition to providing the same functionalities as the ST-LINK/V2, the ST-LINK/V2-ISOL features digital isolation between the PC and the target application board. It also withstands voltages of up to 2500 VRMS.
The USB full-speed interface allows communication with a PC and:  STM8 devices via ST Visual Develop (STVD) or ST Visual Program (STVP) software
(which are available from STMicroelectronics)  STM32 devices via Atollic, IAR, Keil, and TASKING integrated development
environments.

Hardware configuration

UM1075

The ST-LINK/V2 is designed around the STM32F103C8 device which incorporates the highperformance ARM®, CortexTM-M3 core. It is available in a TQFP48 package. As shown in Figure 4, the ST-LINK/V2 provides two connectors:  an STM32 connector for the JTAG/SWD and SWV interface  an STM8 connector for the SWIM interface The ST-LINK/V2-ISOL provides one connector for the STM8 SWIM, STM32 JTAG/SWD and SWV interfaces.

Connection with STM8 applications
For STM8 developments, the ST-LINK/V2 can be connected to the target board by two different cables, depending on the connector available on the application board. These cables are:  SWIM flat ribbon with a standard ERNI connector at one end  SWIM cable with two 4-pin, 2.54 mm connector or SWIM separate-wires cable

Table 3 summarizes the signal names, functions, and target connection signals using the separate-wires cable.
As the SWIM separate-wires cable has independent connectors for all pins on one side, it is possible to connect the ST-LINK/V2-ISOL to an application board without a standard SWIM connector. On this flat ribbon, all signals are referenced by a specific color and a label to ease the connection on target.

Note:

For low cost applications or when the standard 20 pins pitch 2.54mm connector footprint is too big, it is possible to implement the Tag-Connect solution to save cost and space on the application board. The Tag-Connect adapter and cable provide a simple reliable means of connecting ST-LINK/V2 or ST-LINK/V2-ISOL to your PCB without requiring a mating

The LED labeled `COM' on top of the ST-LINK/V2 shows the ST-LINK/V2 status (whatever the connection type).
When the:  LED is blinking RED: the first USB enumeration with the PC is taking place.  LED is RED: communication between the PC and ST-LINK/V2 is established (end of
enumeration).  LED is blinking GREEN/RED: data are being exchanged between the target and the
PC.  LED is GREEN: the last communication has been successful.  LED is ORANGE: ST-LINK/V2 communication with the target has failed.
