How It Works

The ST-Link V2 Mini acts as a bridge between your computer and STM8/STM32 microcontroller. After connecting the programmer to the target board, compatible software can be used to upload firmware, erase or program memory, and debug the application.

For STM8 devices, the SWIM interface is used, while STM32 devices generally use the SWD interface. The programmer receives power through USB and can also provide a suitable voltage output to the target circuit when required.
