5.2.1 Drivers
Before connecting the 32F413HDISCOVERY Discovery kit to a Windows®PC through a
USB, a driver for the ST-LINK/V2-1 must be installed. It is available at the www.st.com
website.
In case the 32F413HDISCOVERY Discovery kit is connected to the PC before the driver is
installed, some 32F413HDISCOVERY interfaces may be declared as unknown in the PC
device manager. To recover from this situation the user must install the driver files, and
update the driver of the connected device from the device manager (see Figure 6).
Note: Prefer using the ‘USB Composite Device’ handle for a full recovery.

5.2.2 ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware upgrade
The ST-LINK/V2-1 embeds a firmware upgrade mechanism for in-situ upgrades through the
USB port. As the firmware may evolve during the lifetime of the ST-LINK/V2-1 product (for
example new functionalities, bug fixes, support for new microcontroller families), it is
recommended to visit www.st.com before starting to use the 32F413HDISCOVERY
Discovery kit and periodically, to stay up-to-date with the latest firmware version.
5.2.3 Power supply
The 32F413HDISCOVERY Discovery kit is designed to be powered by a 5 V DC power
supply. It is possible to configure the 32F413HDISCOVERY board to use any of the
following four sources for the power supply:
•5V_ST_LINK: DC power from USB ST-LINK connector. The power source is the USB
Micro-B connector of the ST-LINK/V2-1 (CN2). A jumper needs to be placed on pins 1
and 2 of JP3 (5V_ST_LINK on the silkscreen) to enable this power source (see
Figure 7). It is the default setting. In this configuration, only the ST-LINK MCU is
powered before the USB enumeration, because the host PC only provides 100 mA to
the board at that time. During the USB enumeration, the 32F413HDISCOVERY board
asks for the 500 mA power to the host PC. If the host can provide the required power,
the enumeration succeeds and, the power transistor ST890 (U10) is switched ON, the
entire board is powered and the LED LD1 remains turned OFF, thus the
32F413HDISCOVERY board consumes up to 500 mA current, but no more. If the host
is not able to provide the requested current, the enumeration fails. Therefore the ST890
remains OFF and the MCU part including the extension board is not powered. As a
