Great programmer, bad cable

October 7, 2017

The programmer itself is great and works really well. It's small. Fairly well made. And is in a nice case that's the size of many USB flash sticks, with an end-cap to protect it. I'm dinging it one star, though, because the 4-pin cable it comes with is quite flaky. At least two of the pins on mine weren't adequately locked into the plastic housing and get pushed back when trying to insert them, causing them to be loose and not make good contact. I struggled a bit with mine getting it working until I realized that is what was happening. As long as you are careful to push on the wire and make sure that the pin slides into place, it will work, but I recommend replacing the cable with a better one. Perhaps the other reviewers who said they received programmers that were DOA experienced a similar issue?

Bought the item from seller DAOKI in October of 2018. The item is not as pictured -- instead of the STMicro logo it says XTW, and the pinout of the connector is different than shown in the picture (e.g. pin 4 is SWDIO, not GND). The seller does not accept returns.

These are most certainly clones. Typically these will use STM32 parts, I am pretty sure this not an STM32 on the board. The laser didn't go deep enough removing the silk screen and you can make out some of it. You can also tell by the packaging that this is some other micro. It worked well enough that I could get my board programmed using openOCD.

The unit I received does not match the picture which is what I had prior to ordering. It would have been nice if they would have been the same because the pinouts are different. This is worth 2 stars to me.

Also it would be advised to pull the board out and make sure the foam is installed on the joints of the header. This will prevent the contacts from shorting to the case.

Doesn't work. I have other debuggers that work, and I know how to set them up. This one won't connect at all. These are clones. Only about 2 out of 5 actually work. Also, apparently you can't return these. Wasted money.
