11.1 Supporting toolchains (not exhaustive)
Table 17 gives a list of the first toolchain version supporting the STLINK-V3SET product.
Note: Some of the very first toolchain versions supporting the STLINK-V3SET (in runtime) may
not install the complete USB driver for STLINK-V3SET (especially the STLINK-V3SET
bridge USB interface description may miss). In that case, either the user switches to a more
recent version of the toolchain, or updates the ST-LINK driver from www.st.com (see
Section 11.2).
11.2 Drivers and firmware upgrade
The STLINK-V3SET requires drivers to be installed on Windows and embeds a firmware
that needs to be updated from time to time to benefit from new functionality or corrections.
Refer to the technical note Overview of ST-LINK derivatives (TN1235) for details.
11.3 STLINK-V3SET frequency selection
The STLINK-V3SET can run internally at 3 different frequencies:
• high-performance frequency
• standard frequency, compromising between performance and consumption
• low-consumption frequency
By default, the STLINK-V3SET starts in high-performance frequency. It is the responsibility
of the toolchain provider to propose or not the frequency selection at the user's level.
11.4 Mass storage interface
The STLINK-V3SET implements a virtual mass storage interface allowing the programming
of an STM32 target flash memory with drag-and-drop action of a binary file from a file
explorer. This ability requires the STLINK-V3SET to identify the connected target before
enumerating it on the USB host. As a consequence, this functionality is available only if the
