stlink: macOS Catalina cannot find ST-Link-v2 via USB port

Hello,

I connected my STM32 board and it’s blinking. However, I get “Found 0 stlink programmers” when I run

st-info --probe

I am running Catalina 10.15.2. No USB device was added to /dev, so maybe I am missing a driver?

The hardware is from Amazon: [initeq] STM32 ARM STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill Minimum System Development Board with ST-Link V2 USB Programmer (2-Pack + ST-Link V2)

Would anyone know how to resolve this? I looked for info/drivers but did not find anything. st-info was built manually from git.

Thanks so much for your help! Itamar

Just following up - I just got the new programmer from Adafruit, and it works well. Recognized and st-info --probe sees it. Thank you so much for spending time with me to resolve this. I will leave a comment on Amazon regarding the one I originally bought.

I’d like to thank you for the time and effort you spent on this and how helpful you were with your explanations and support. Really commendable, thank you for help and attention!

@jcw: I did think that before, but he explained later…

Just to make it very clear:

  1. USB-Port <—> STlink-v2 (Programmer) <–SWD+PWR-Wires–> SWD-Pins on Bluepill-Board => programming works
  2. USB-Port <—> Bluepill-Board => not detected by mac AND programming not possible; only PWR supply via USB-Port, USB will not work - this is normal and not an error

@ihassin: if 1) is your setup, the IMG_0132 n we can continue to look for a solution, as a problem appears to be present.

@Nightwalker-87 @jcw : I think I am on (1). Attaching photo. I also tried with a Mac that has native USB ports, so I don’t think it’s the converter that is the problem.

Yes getting the messages but need to find time to test again. I’ll try to do it today.
