So, in this lesson our first step would be connecting the Discovery board with computer by installing ST-LINK/V2 USB driver and then we took our second step, in which we set-up CooCox IDE with ARM toolchain so that we can develop application on that.
I have divided this lesson in two parts named as ST-LINK USB Driver and CooCox IDE .
When you connect your Discovery board with PC, your PC will not detect the board until driver of discovery board installed. This driver is called ST-LINK USB driver. Here is the steps to install and detect the discovery board.
Step 1: Connect the STMicroelectronics Discovery board to a USB port of your computer. When you connect, the STMicroelectronics Discovery board detection light starts blinking and then stops when your computer detects the Discovery board.
Step 2: Download ST-LINK/V2 USB driver file on your computer, and extract driver installation executable from the zip file. Double-click on the extracted executable to install the driver software, and follow the installation steps.
Right-click on Device Manager > Other Devices > STM32 STLink and then click Update Driver Software. Select the option ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
Step 3: Specify the Windows path in the Browse window, for example, “C:\Windows”. After you have detected the driver, you see the STM32F4 Discovery Board listed as shown.
