How to connect mbed to my pc?

I am novelist to Mbed.

I have a XNucleo F030R8 ARM Cortex-M0 connected to my PC and ST-link V2 driver installed and firmware upgraded on my PC. I have selected Nucleo F030R8 platform in the Mbed compiler and successfully published blinky_LPC812.bin into my download folder. However, I could not see Mbed device appearing in my file explorer according to Mbed video.

Could anybody advise me how to connect my board to Mbed compiler.

Thanks.

You should have a separate ST-LINK module (according to this page). You'll need connect the ST-LINK to your board, then USB from ST-LINK to your computer. Then the device should show up.

Hi Jongboom, Thank you for your response. I have followed the your advise given to connect my devices both with the Nucleo and the X-Nucleo with USB from ST-Link to my computer one at a time. I found out that Nucleo MCU shows up in windows 10 file explorer as a node but, the X-Nucleo node shows up in windows 10 printer and device folder instead. Uploading of .bin file into the Nucleo MCU was completed successfully. However there was no way to upload a .bin file into the X-Nucleo. A careful observation shows that the X-Nucleo comes with Scilicon labs driver instead of ST-Link USB to UART driver.

Is there a work around to get .bin uploaded into the X-Nucleo MCU? Thank you.

Hmm... You can use a NUCLEO as the programmer for another ST MCU, see comment by Nothing Special here. Maybe that works?
