An open-source toolset for programming and debugging STM32 microcontrollers via STLINK programmer hardware, including flash tools, a GDB server, chip info utilities, and a communication library. It supports all four generations of STLINK adapters and their clones across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Use cases

  • flash firmware to an STM32 microcontroller
  • debug STM32 firmware with GDB in VS Code
  • read chip information from an STLINK programmer
  • dump or write flash memory on an STM32 board
  • trace execution on a Cortex-M microcontroller
  • use a cheap STLINK clone instead of ST's proprietary tools
  • serve a remote ST-LINK over TCP

When to choose

  • you program or debug STM32/ARM Cortex-M devices with STLINK hardware
  • you want an open-source alternative to ST's STM32CubeProgrammer
  • you need a GDB server for embedded development in VS Code or other IDEs

When to avoid

  • you target non-ST microcontrollers or non-STLINK debug probes
  • you need a full IDE or graphical flashing suite with vendor support
  • you work with other debug protocols like J-Link without STLINK hardware
