I'm playing around with the board in the question and I'm struggling with it even though I'm fairly familiar with the F767 Nucleo. What I want:
to reprogram the demo that came on to the board for now, as I haven't managed to get the display on the board working at all since before then. I've downloaded the stm32f769 disco demo that includes the appropriate .HEX
What I've done:
I've upgraded st-link using the upgrade utility. Within STM32 Cube programmer, I've selected the appropriate External Loader for my disco board. My board is connected via st-link and is recognised by cube programmer.
On the erasing and Programming tab I've selected the correct .HEX file and the device begins to program. The file is about 120MB and so takes a good while to program.
Once the programming has complete, cube programmer tells me that it was successful. However the screen is just displays the blue ST logo on a white background and nothing else. Nothing changes when tapping the screen or pressing the reset button (apart from a reset of course).
Any help would be appreciated, something simple as programming the board shouldn't be this difficult so I'm clearly doing something wrong.
Have you read the readme.txt?
Did you click on "External Loader" from the bar menu then check "MX25L512G_STM32F769I-DISCO" box?
because you need to flash the QSPI together with the internal 2MB memory.
Taken from the readme.txt in the downloadable zip.
#par How to use it ?
The QSPI external flash loader is not integrated with supported toolchains, its only supported with STM32
ST-Link Utility V3.9 or later
To load the demonstration, use STM32 ST-Link Utility to program both internal Flash and external QSPI memory.
To edit and debug the demonstration you need first to program the external QSPI memory using STLink utility
and then use your preferred toolchain to update and debug the internal flash content.
In order to program the demonstration you must do the following:
1- Open STM32 ST-Link Utility, click on "External Loader" from the bar menu then check
"MX25L512G_STM32F769I-DISCO" box
2- Connect the 32F769IDISCOVERY board to PC with USB cable through CN16
3- Use "STM32769I-DISCO_DEMO_VX.Y.Z_FULL.hex" file provided under Binary with STM32 ST-Link Utility
to program both internal Flash and external QSPI memory. this demo to take benefit from Touch-GFX
and EmbeddedWizard third parties demonstrations modules replacing Gardening control and Home alarm modules.
4- copy the audio and video files provided under "Media/" in the USB key
5- Plug a USB micro A-Male to A-Female cable on CN15 connector
6- Plug a headphone into CN7 Connector.
-> The internal Flash and the external QSPI are now programmed and the demonstration is shown on the board.

I have designed and assembled a PCB. All connections are fine and leds are blinking when i open the CUBEMX. But I don't know what to do after this point. Do I need to put some drivers before using DFU?
If so, i don't have an ST-LINK Programmer how can i use the only input for this pcb (which is PB11,PB12 as AN2662 suggests). Its also interesting that device is responding to CubeMX . Does device has any code in it?
MCU :
STM32F405RGT6
Your question is not clear. But i will try to answer to your question with my understanding from the question. First thing that you need to find the datasheet of mcu. Now, you can able to find related pins for programming. Using these pins, you can program your hw.
if you want to put dfu mode to your hw, Please check "Application Note 2606 STM32 microcontroller system memory boot mode".
Also, i wrote post about system memory bootloader, here is the link: https://engineeringvolkan.wordpress.com/2020/05/08/1928/
If I understood well, you want to learn how to upload code into your uC. If you are not familiar with DFU, I suggest that you can use ST LINK V2. However, the important point is whether, or not you put output terminals for SW pins (SWDIO, NRST, SWCLK, SWO).
For the DFU, you should check Bootloader properties and bootloader configurations specifcally related to your uC. After these, you can watch this video EEVBlog STM32 DFU and inspire from it.
My STLINKV2 is not working anymore, not detected by Linux, it failed after the first successful flash. I ordered a new one but it will take 60+ days to arrive. Meanwhile I have heard on Youtube you can program Bluepills directly by connecting cut open USB cable to certain pins and then using a jumper. But I cannot get any precie information on this, is this really possible and how?
You should use the embedded bootloader. You can flash it through several interfaces. Look at AN2606, maybe you can find an already written flasher. Good luck STM32CubeProgrammer handle it.
If you intend to program it through usb, look also at AN3156 all protocols document are referred in chapter 2 of AN2606
THOSE AREN'T CUT OPEN USB CABLES they are USB to serial adapters for arduino's bootloader
They connect them like this:
The problem is that this requires the Arduino STM32 bootloader to be flashed in it.
Another option will be to use STM32CubeProg this program allows you to program your stm over
Serial
SPI
I2C
USB
You'll need to set the BOOT0 and BOOT1 pins to the correct value (HIGH slash LOW) to allow it to go in flash mode during boot.
Here is semi outdated tutorial which tells most of the steps to program a STM using serial. (the Flash Loader Demonstrator is outdated and you should use STM32CubeProg)
I was wondering if it is possible to back up or read the settings of a nucleo board stm32. It is set up as a P-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 Nucleo pack. Which uses LoRaWAN to send data to a gateway and it works perfectly. I was now wondering if I could change the configuration (like lora settings, data format, etc).
I already tried using stm32 st-link utility, and Keil IDE. But they only flash or erase the board. I don't know how to read it.
I don't have any background on this so, details would be great. Apologies if I used the wrong words to describe things. Thanks!
You can read memory by "st-link utility" software (if you have st-link, of course)
Under "icon menu" you have two text fields: Address and size. Just set correct address and window below will display necessary memory region.
To save data just Select menu File->Save file...
You need to save it into the FLASH memory. FLASH memory can be erased and programed runtime. Read your micro Reference Manual where the procedure of erasing and writing the FLASH page is described in details.
I've received a project from someone that includes an Arduino (Uno) board with some sensors and lights with an USB cable and a documented protocol for communicating with this board through a COM port. It works fine with some existing code, but I need to port the whole project to a Windows RT environment using an ARM processor and including the Metro interface for the application. And it's going to be completely rewritten...
First of all, my Windows RT device does have an USB port so it can connect to the board. But the challenge is to communicate with the board to read out the sensors and manipulate the lights and I happen to have problems finding some useful libraries, tutorials or other information about how to make these work together.
This project works fine with other Windows versions, though. I just need something specific for Windows RT/ARM/Metro.
Currently it is not possible to do this on Windows RT, and here is an explanation why. As a work around I am using a standard full screen WPF application in combination with the Surface SDK for touch enable UI components. The obvious disadvantage here is that you cannot publish the app to the store.
I think that we should actually try it on a real machine instead of the rt. The surface rt is basically for documents and the internet.
You'd be better off trying all of this with a Toshiba 2032.

I hope you can help me. I am trying to build a robot but I am kind of stuck. The Arduino Mega is controlling the stepper motors drivers of the robot. The odroid-x is a single board computer that has installed linaro ubuntu and eclipse c++. All the programming is done in C++ and OpenCV is an image processing library.
The odroid-x has only as input a color camera. Therefore, the information from the camera is received and is processed in eclipse. Then, according to the information that is received, the odroid-x should send different integers to the arduino. The arduino should have a program already uploaded in itself, so it will be waiting for an integer and that integer is going to determine what the arduino is going to send to the drivers.
My questions are the following:
How can I do a serial communication between the arduino and the odroid-x?
How can I send information from eclipse to the arduino with a serial connection?
Thanks so much for any guide you can give me
First, be very, very, very careful. The ODROID boards use 1.8V signalling, so hooking up your 3.3V or 5V Arduino to the pins that expect no more than 1.8V will give you a burnt ODROID-X. It is possible to hook these two boards together if you put a level converter between them, and Sparkfun and Adafruit have some of those converters available. There is even a 1.8V reference voltage pin available... one of the pins that go to the LCD panel RGB-to-LVDS converter board puts out a constant 1.8V.
You could use either the four pins of the little white connector, or UART1, as a serial port, or you can use some of the pins in the 50-pin GPIO block as UART4. There are board schematics available on Hardkernel's website. These two UARTs show up as /dev/ttySAC0 (UART1) and /dev/ttySAC3 (UART4).
I don't know how to talk to those UARTs from a program, personally, but I know there are serial communications libraries available for python from watching threads pop up on the ODROID forums.
