STLINK-V3SET debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32
Introduction
The STLINK-V3SET is a stand-alone modular debugging and programming probe for the
STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. This product is composed of the main module and the
complementary adapter board. It supports the SWIM and JTAG/SWD interfaces for the
communication with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.
The STLINK-V3SET provides a Virtual COM port interface allowing the host PC to
communicate with the target microcontroller through one UART. It also provides bridge
interfaces to several communication protocols allowing, for instance, the programming of
the target through the bootloader.
The STLINK-V3SET can provide a second Virtual COM port interface allowing the host PC
to communicate with the target microcontroller through another UART (called bridge UART).
Bridge UART signals, including optional RTS and CTS, are available on the adapter board
only (MB1440). The second Virtual COM port activation is done through a reversible
firmware update, which also disables the mass storage interface (used for drag-and-drop
flash programming).
The modular architecture of STLINK-V3SET enables to extend its main features through
additional modules such as the adapter board.

microcontroller.
•It provides a Virtual COM port interface allowing the host PC to communicate with the
target microcontroller through one UART
•It provides bridge interfaces to several communication protocols allowing, for instance,
the programming of the target through the bootloader.
To start using this board, follow the steps below:
1. Check that all items are available inside the box
(V3S + 3 flat cables + adapter board and its guide).
2. Install/update the IDE/STM32CubeProgrammer to support the STLINK-V3SET
(drivers).
3. Choose a flat cable and connect it between the STLINK-V3SETand the application.
4. Connect a USB Type-A to Micro-B cable between the STLINK-V3SETand the PC.
5. Check that the PWR LED is green and the COM LED is red.
6. Open the development toolchain or STM32CubeProgrammer software utility.

7 STLINK-V3SET functional description
7.1 STLINK-V3SET overview
The STLINK-V3SET is a stand-alone modular debugging and programming probe for the
STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. This product supports many functions and protocols for
debugging, programming or communicating with one or several targets. The STLINK-
V3SET package includes complete hardware with the main module for high performance
and an adapter board for added functions to connect with wires or flat cables anywhere into
the application.
This module is fully powered by the PC. If the COM LED blinks red, refer to the Overview of
ST-LINK derivatives technical note (TN1235) for details.
7.1.1 Main module for high performance
This configuration is the preferred one for high performance. It only supports STM32
microcontrollers. The working voltage range is from 3 V to 3.6 V.
Figure 2. Probe top side
The protocols and functions supported are:
•SWD with SWO (up to 24 MHz)
•JTAG (up to 21 MHz)
•VCP (from 720 bps to 15 Mbps)
A 2x7-pin male connector with 1.27 mm pitch is located in the STLINK-V3SET for
connection to the application target. Three different flat cables are included in the packaging
