The embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 can be used in two different ways according to the jumper
states (refer to
Table 5):
• Program/debug the STM32 on board,
• Program/debug an STM32 in an external application board using a cable connected to
SWD connector.
9.4.1 Drivers
Before connecting the STM32 Nucleo-64-P board to a Windows
®
PC (XP, 7, 8 and 10)
through USB, install the driver for
the ST-LINK/V2-1 that is available at the www.st.com
website.
In case the STM32 Nucleo-64-P board is connected to the PC before installing the driver, the
PC device manager may report some Nucleo interfaces as “Unknown”. To recover from this
situation, after installing the dedicated driver, the association of “Unknown” USB devices
found on the STM32 Nucleo-64-P board to this dedicated driver, must be updated in the
device manager manually.
Note: It is recommended to proceed by using USB Composite Device, as shown in Figure 7.

9.4.2 ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware upgrade
The ST-LINK/V2-1 embeds a firmware upgrade mechanism for in-situ upgrade through the
USB port. As the firmware may evolve during the lifetime of the ST-LINK/V2-1 product (for
example new functionalities, bug fixes, support for new microcontroller families), it is
recommended to keep the ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware up to date before starting to use an
STM32 Nucleo-64-P board. The latest version of this firmware is available at the www.st.com
website.
