How was the Maple Mini blink example loaded onto the target?

Hello, I wondered if the Maple_Mini_F103 example is meant to be directly loaded onto a Maple Mini using ST-LINK from an STM32 Nucleo board, or if the compiled binary can be loaded onto the Maple Mini using a command line tool such as dfu-util?

I was looking for a method to compile from the ARMmbed environment that would allow direct download to the Maple Mini using the Maple Mini's own boot loader. I am not sure if the ARMmbed .bin files are compatible with the binary DFU files?

Thanks.

Hi Martin

There are two ways to flash the bin file to Maple Mini. One way to do this as you mentioned - using ST-LINK from another STM32 Nucleo board.

Another way to flash the bin file is by using a command line called "st-flash". First connect a ST-Link v2 USB dongle to the Maple Mini (SWDIO, GND, SWCLK, & 3.3V). Then run the st-flash as the following:

$ st-flash write mbed-compiled.bin 0x8000000

Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
