Works well enough for casual use, but mine died after 3 months of daily software development. I wouldn't recommend it for your daily driver working with STM micros. On the other hand, these are so inexpensive, you could buy several of them for the same price as a ST-LINK/V2.

So when I first tried to use this, and being very new to using STM32CubeIDE, I did two stupid things, I selected all unused pins as analog, and I also selected one of the STlink pins as an output. So I downloaded by program, STlink could no longer communicate to my project. So don't do the above without setting up the pins you need to use.

I used it to flash a STM32 controller on the Nintendo Game and Watch. It's simple, small, and works like it should. Minimal packaging but zero damage.

Doesn't work with the current ST-Link Utility (software version 4.6) or the STM32 Cube Programmer. Tested on a PCB of my own design as well as the F411RE dev board to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue. Firmware upgrade does work, but neither software connection nor connection under hardware reset functions properly.

Great and was able to hack my G30 Max to 22mph. The ST-link app you need to install from the real vendor is a pain in the rear to get working, but once everything is configured, this ST-Link clone is excellent!

Items like this are what make amazon is so great. This does everything an official ST-Link programming dongle does at 1/4 the cost. For a hobbyist who might never use an ST-Link programmer again, nothing can beat that.Worked with STM32CubeProgrammer.

The product served its purpose as I needed it to as a board programmer, but the metal casing it came with only needed a tug to come off. Honestly, I would have preferred the case to be made of cheap, yet well attached, plastic than the loose fitting metal it came with.

I bought this to update a few GoTeks I bought by mistake - FDD-UDD U144K. These are not real GoTek emulators and can't be programmed using the standard USB-A to USB-A cable. The procedure was a bit funky, but using a YouTube video I was able to easily load FlashFloppy on them. The low cost of this ST-LINK device saved those two lookalike GoTek drives from the scrap pile.

I read some complaints about this programmer not working for some people. I've purchased 2 of these over the last month and they had different silk screens on the side designating what signals were on what pins. Both programmers are recognized by ST Micro's ST-Link Utility and both had no problems updating their firmware to the latest version from ST Micro.I initially was thinking that the silk screen was wrong or that the firmware loaded at the factory mapped the signals to different pins. When my cable that I made for the first programmer did not work with the 2nd programmer I bought I decided to open up the units and see why. The 2nd programmer I purchased has an older PCB revision (D vs E) and it conveniently has the pin names silk screened on the PCB. In both cases the silk screen on the PCB matched was was printed on the outer case.Once I made a new cable for the new programmer and used the signal names to map to my mini-JTAG connector on my board the 2nd programmer worked just as expected. It's a shame that the they moved the pinout between revisions as it definitely leads to confusion and unfortunately dedicated cables for each programmer.I only used SWD communication so I did not need SWIM but I would imagine that if you follow the silk screen you should be fine. As a side note, both of these use the same processor and it's not even a ST Micro part, it's a CKS32F103C6T6
