Description
The STLINK-V3SET is a modular stand-alone debugging and programming probe for the STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. It is composed of a main module and a complementary adapter board.
The SWIM and JTAG/SWD interfaces are used to communicate with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller located on an application board.
The STLINK-V3SET also provides a Virtual COM port interface allowing the host PC to communicate with the target microcontroller through one UART, and bridge interfaces (SPI, I2C, CAN, GPIOs) allowing for instance the programming of the target through bootloader.
The modular architecture of STLINK-V3SET enables to extend its main features through additional modules such as the adapter board.

Connect to PC
The STLINK-V3SET should be connected to the PC via a USB Micro-B cable.
- Before connecting, install/update the IDE/STM32CubeProgrammer to support the STLINK-V3SET (drivers)
- STLINK-V3SET adopts an STM32 F7 microcontroller, supports USB2.0 high speed communication
Connect to STM32 applications
The STLINK-V3SET can be connected to STM32 target applications on JTAG / SWD interfaces, which are available on both the main module (MB1441) and the adapter (MB1440).
- Three official STDC14 flat cables, plus an extra free legacy 20-pin flat cable, are delivered. Choose the proper one to use.
Connect to STM8 applications
The STLINK-V3SET can be connected to STM8 target applications on SWIM interface, which is only available on the adapter (MB1440).
- JP4 and JP6 on the MB1440 board must be ON in order to activate the SWIM protocol
- We also provide two extra free SWIM cables for easy use
- Make sure the pin-to-pin mapping is correct, especially the VCC and GND, to avoid damaging the STLINK-V3SET
STLINK-V3SET LED Status
- COM LED is blinking RED: the first USB enumeration with the PC is taking place.
- COM LED is RED: communication between STLINK-V3SET and the PC is established (end of enumeration).
- COM LED is blinking GREEN/RED: data are being exchanged between the target and the PC.
