SIPEED USB-JTAG/TTL RISC-V DEBUG Issue

Hi, We have purchased this from Digikey (1597-1746-ND) and it doesn’t seem to communicate with ST Link Utility software as indicated in the data sheet. Has anyone used this to program/debug STM32 processors?

Cheers,
Kay

Hi @purchasing17, I’ve gotten a hold of one of these units… Which STM32 device are you trying to debug with this adapter?

Regards,

Hi Robert,
Apologies for my delay. We tried to program STM32L152RBT6A devices. The target voltage is 3V3. We are using two wire SWD mode. The same target can be programmed/debugged using other ST-Link tools.

This seems to be a generic FTDI based RS232 adapter… I’ve seen screen shots of it working with ST-Link Utility:

For me it doesn’t seem to want to connect…

Adafruit sells a similar clone: ST-Link STM8/STM32 v2 Compatible Programmer & Emulator : ID 2548 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits I wonder if there’s a special driver we need on windows…

Hi Robert,
In the above image it says ‘No ST-Link detected’. So how would you say it is working?

Also, the Adafruit programmer page says their one contains a microcontroller with ST-Link fw, not a simple FTDI chip.

I had a look at what is used inside and it was FT2232, not a STM processor running ST-LINK fw. FT2232 has ability to run two JTAG interfaces. I think this is the feature Sipeed is using to run ST-Link. But I think there would be more software support needed to run between the driver and ST-link programmer, to do this. Unfortunately I cant find any resources anywhere. If you know a way please let me know.
