Set up a STM32 bluepill as a blackmagic probe for beginner
#3
Ha, and in the latest development, it is possible to use the SWD pins at the end of the bluepill as, well SWD pins rather than the pins B14 and A5 described before.

This allows you to connect the original PineTime SWD cable directly to the blackmagic-bluepill. No soldering on that side required.


Changes to the guide above:

(1)
Instead of the link above, download this firmware:
http://builds.blacksphere.co.nz/blackmag...swlink.bin

(there is only a small difference in the file name, ..sWlink.bin instead of ..sTlink.bin)


(2)
Consequently the command to flash the firmware has to change as well:

Code:
sudo dfu-util -d 1eaf:003 -a 2 -D blackmagic-swlink.bin
(remember, the address after -d might be different)


Rest is the same.

Pro-Tip  Big Grin : Turn around the bluepill, on the backside is another inscription with the layout for the 4 pins and can be read easily.


Btw, all available firmwares can be seen here:
http://builds.blacksphere.co.nz/blackmagic/

Way more detail is here, including a guide for bluepills that have no firmware flashed yet, including chinese copies.
