Flashing STM32 Firmware Directly from VS Code over UART: An Open-Source Extension

Описание и применение

Расширение VS Code позволяет прошивать STM32 через UART, используя USB‑UART CH340, без ST‑Link.

Задача

Developers need to flash STM32 boards that lack ST‑Link or native USB, using only a USB‑UART bridge.

Результат

Flashing is performed entirely within VS Code, eliminating the need for ST‑Link hardware and separate flashing utilities.

Рабочий процесс

• Build firmware to .hex or .bin
• Open SerialFlash panel or run "SerialFlash: Open Flasher Panel"
• Select serial port, firmware file, and reset mode
• Click "Flash" or use Cmd+Alt+F (Ctrl+Alt+F)
• Monitor SerialFlash output for bootloader version, product ID, erase, write, verify, and reset

Доказательства

If you have ever bought one of those small STM32 boards with a USB-C port, there is a good chance that port goes to a USB-UART chip (often a CH340).

Источник

You build your project, press Cmd+Alt+F (Ctrl+Alt+F on Windows and Linux), and it enters the bootloader, erases, writes, verifies and resets the board into the new firmware.

Источник

The extension defaults to 115200 baud.
