What's wrong with ST? Can't DL their ST-Link driver?!

1

I have a Nucleo board F446RE coming my way and want to install the driver.

I tried to DL it as a guest, and I actually get a link in my email, but it doesn’t work.

Guess the add “professional” email failed, due to my private email…

Then tried to make an myST account. No chance! If you don’t have a professional background they don’t let you in.

What are your experiences? Are there workarounds?

THX for reading

Just for the record, if I forget it (again) . in arduinoIDE, don’t try to flash it directly but

  • use “Sketch/export compiled binary”
  • open “Sketch/Show sketch folder” (it’s somewhere in a Temp folder)
  • copy the folder to a place where you store arduino-stuff
  • use St-link utility to flash the binary to the target.

St-link utility is part of the STM32-library, same as STM-USB drivers.

It’s located in docs/Arduino/ST_Link

I wish I had known that before…
